[req] This app

Hope this is the right place to ask about this.. :confused:

To the case; I found this screenshot in my hd, and saw this app here that immitates one of Panthers features, this thing that minimizes the windows into small thumbnails on the desk, I was wondering what app that is? any idea?

its proably taskpicture2, but isn't available for download publicly. It is by SAQLA. You should pm him. Others have it by sharing.

#268683

thanks man, sent the guy a pm, hope things work out, really want to try that app.

If you say as it is - allowed to share between member - maybe someone could send it to me by mail?

pm me if you can help, thank you :)

#268686

Only SAQLA can give it to you, and if you get it from someone else, you'll ruin it for everyone who doesn't have it and wants it.

Anyway, I've never gotten the app to work.

#268705

I've PM'd a couple of members for this and have gotten no reply. hopefully someone will have it soon. I'd like to check it out also.

#268775

Is there a large demand for an app like this? I could see taking a day or two and writing it for poops and giggles.

#269648

Yes, andrew_ Please do.. Ive been looking for this for over a 2 months..

If you could make one, it would be really realy cool.

TIA

WindowsFx has a similar feature... .ck it out

#269656

Since I always have to start with a name & logo idea... any suggestions?

I'd love this if you could make it.

justa MINit

#269682

MINit or Mint sounds damn cool. (Tried to make the MIN bold and the t not, but it doesnt really show up)

Anyone wanna whip up an image of a mint leaf?

#270247

Forgot to ask...

Would you all want the Windows, which are minimized to the desktop, to show up in taskbar as well?

Also, what options are wanted? I'll likely start on this tonight, so I would like to get a good TODO list going.

#270324

andrew. as for putting them in the taskbar, good idea, but give the option to turn it off.

*goes to wip a mint leaf logo*

#270333

andrew, I would be extremely happy if you made an application like the one pictured.

#270334

/me waits anxiously for [timmy]'s leaf logo.

#270337

Yes, if it could be optional, it would be great.(the Q about showing minimized windows in taskbar)

Options on where to stack/place the minimized windows would be awesome too.

You know like:

left: middle, top, or bottom

right middle, top, or bottom

bottom: center, left or right

Kind of like the options you get on docks.

The "Genie" effect from the OSX dock would kick ass to!

#270339

An exclusion list would be awesome. Or something like Ctrl+Click Min button is the only way to MINt it. (MINt is a great name btw.)

#270346

I like the Ctrl + Click idea.

Instead of an exclusion list, I could simply have an option to detect all minimizations OR use Ctrl + Click

[EDIT]

Pictures moved to another thread.. I didnt see the thread soon enough. Sorry mods and admins..

Bah. .NET doesnt like global system hooks. Gonna have to start over in c++.

#270411

Just thought I would post an update...

I have the core functionality working as it should. No options for customization have been implemented yet.

I am currently ironing out the kinks in the thumbnail drawing. That should be completed sometime today.

I will be beta testing over the next few days, please send a message to my AIM address (you can find it in my profile) if you wish to participate. I will ask that those who would like to beta test provide feedback (or it loses the purpose) and do not redistribute it to the public until testing is done. I take much pride in my work and don't like to distribute buggy applications to the public.

MINt is being written in c++. I havent yet decided to use GDI+ for rendering, so as of right now MINt will work on XP, will work with 99% certainty on Windows 2000, will probably work on Win9x - but no gaurantees.

For your resource nuts; I havent been able to push it over 4.5 MB 'Mem Use' and 2 MB 'VM Use'.

Exellent news Andrew!

Didnt't expect you to get this far, so soon. impressive!

I will write you an email later on today, because i would really like to partticipate in the beta testing.

Best Regards, Tobbz

I'd like to beta...but I dont have AIM...could I PM/email you?
