Attn. Cassiel, Hyperb0le, Other Programmers.

Hey there guys. I realize this may be a dumb idea (since there is already ObjectBar and WinMac), but I was wondering if you'd ever consider developing a friendlier, more configurable menu bar app. I myself use WinMac, which works fairly well for me. I have tried ObjectBar, and it just did not agree with me. My thought is that maybe it would be a good idea to create a menu bar that resembles WinMac, but is almost entirely configurable by the user (i.e., defining shortcuts in File menu, ability to add shortcuts to Apple Menu, etc.). This is just a suggestion and I'm sorry if it is a redundant or pointless one. I am personally disappointed in the lack of features in WinMac, and just plain fed up with ObjectBar. It seemed to me that a new option should be availible. Thanks for your time and your awesome apps!

I was creating Finder-bar app in VB6, but for a few days I've got C# and I thinkin now about creating them in C#, its much better and easily. My app will have that, which Mac doesn't have, becouse I want to create PC better than Apple. Maybe this is idiotical, but I know that - PC had a lot of better games, and its small costs. I want to put in my qFinder:

Turning on/off function of cloning menus to bar;

Resizing them (bigger fonts - this is that, which in OB we don't have, becouse size of fonts is configured for theme)

Skinning

Findlets (that will be surprise, but you must wait)

For more informations, look at www.quiqua.tk but not now, becouse now its only small piece of big cake, I think, that for few days site will be ready and first app beta will be ready for one or two weeks.

Please post here any questions and propositions for qFinder app.

findlets? sounds interesting, i'm waiting for the beta release

I'm confused.

Pithos posted here a while back saying he was creating an app called qFinder. Nothing ever came of that. So is this the same name but different program or what?

I'm not going into details about my next application. Today I've switched to .NET and I'm going to look what can be done with it.

Sincerely,

The menu-bar on top of Macintosh screen is a part of Finder app which is Mac files explorer. This bar names Finder bar.

Findlets - did you remember docklets?

And I'd like to inform you, that Pithos=Pedros. This is this same people. Thats me.

I was creating this bar in VB6 but VB isn so good to that app, so I'm creating them now in C#.

It would have to be one hell of a finder proggie.

For me, objectbar is awesome. I have no problems with it.

It helps me forget that I'm actually running windows.

It would be awesome to have another choice though...

Cheers

But for example on my XP it works good, but I hate this menus. When I click on them, I always must wait 1-2 seconds to open. And this is problem. On mac everything is instantly... Yes, I know that XP never been Mac, but I want to that, what we can't!

Thanks Cassiel! I respect you keeping your project under wraps- I have faith that it will be just as great as your other apps! It's the small apps like xHotspot and xAbout that really are the icing on the cake of emulation.

Pedros (or Pithos ), glad to hear you are hard at work! Good luck on the C#- hopefully we'll see a lot more apps written in this language in the future. If you need any graphical help, drop me a line!
