KSoft's Apps - RunMe 1.0 - Aqua-Soft Forums

Hello to all members of Aqua-Soft community!

I write the application for Windows (2000/XP) and I wish to show you that is made at present.

Application RunMe is a launcher in NLauncher's or Aston's launcher's style.

It supports skins with transparency.

Wow, that looks nice....

Wow, i hope it is light on resources. The problem with most things like that is that they are quite heavy on resources, bringing the comp to a standstill.

Jeff, thank You for comment!

You right... Usually such applications heavy, especially if animation is used there.

It a mechanism of redrawing semitransparent windows in OS Windows.

On mine Athlon 2000 + (1,6GHz) it is possible to work normally.

will it work like tabs? and can it be placed anywhere?

#363584

Not like tabs, while only at the left, horizontally also leaves for edge of the screen

But it is good idea that hung on a table, it is necessary to think about it.

#363648

I'll be sure to give this a shot once it's released, looks good

#363652

#364081

Thank You, Eugene!

Looks like nice software--I can't wait to see this released .

KSoft and tom_7, you have to provide translations if you're going to speak in a different language. This is an English-speaking forum--board rules, guys! .

I have added a new function in RunMe - Colorize.

Maybe it will usefull. This is colorized skin "Royale":

#367305

Hi KSoft, forgive me... did you just release RunMe? Perhaps editing the title or posting a release thread? Oh, just checked the title and it indicates a download

Anyways, thanks for the release, I look forward to trying it out when I get home.

#367446

Can we get just the program files and not the setup program? My computer doesn't have the characters the installer is in, and I don't really like using setup programs .

Thanks!

P.S: You want me to rename this (and move this) as a release?

#367516

nightcrawler1089, thanks for help!

I remake RunMe from installer to ZIP, and mark the header as "Release"

Hope it's right.

#367545

I really like the app. I would really like it to be on the right side but there's no option for it..

#367600

Nice first release. Just starting to play with it and I'm quite impressed.

I have a suggestion, When you add a "New item" to a Menu Group and have not yet assigned it an action, how about when left clicked, instead of giving a message-beep and doing nothing, have the Properties window appear. (Sort of like a first time, you've just clicked me thing.)

Also, I've gotta say it.You program seems like it could be a viable alternative to kKmenu, and deliver much better performance aswell. Could I possibly convince you to make RunMe's menu have the options to 1) "Slide into View" (Current method,) and 2) "Appear Onscreen when Clicked" (RunMe.exe launched via a shortcut/dock & parameters.) And be positionable on screen. Would like to know what you think, and thanks again for the release!

Nice little app. Don't know why but, it seems to be running higher than DX on resources for me.

Really great work.

One main issue I have is it overrides the default settings. I always (by default) open in Explore mode because of Finder bar tweak. OR am I missing something.

#367904

Very nice! Some immediate issues:

1) Transparency--should it affect the icons too? I noticed it only affects the backgrounds...

2) Colorize--intentionally grayed out, right?

Some suggestions:

1) "Always on," in that you can always see it

2) Position anywhere, or at least give the user more options.

I'm certain I'll come up with more. As it stands, this is already an excellent program! So nice to see new ones being released by newcomers .

Thanks,

That's funny, I was going to post were it to be the exact opposite.

The first thing I tested out when digging through the settings window was whether the icons would be independent of the background transparency; keeps a little functionality with all the eyecandy.

#367962

Nightcrawler1089, many thanks for pleasant words!

I was going to make so - it is possible to change a transparency only for background, not for icons. But good idea, I think, to make checkbox " trans for all " or " only for back ".

Colorize depends from skin. You can to experiment (in skin.ini (in theme) colors in hex). Just if you colorize by light color - whether skin looks very light. I have understood a question right?

Some suggestions:

1) "Always on," in that you can always see it

Thats right. But for what? In different case You can't use a program (under the window)

2) Position anywhere, or at least give the user more options.

I have almost completed option: " On the right or on the left edge of screen "

To firecracker6: Thank You! "Appear Onscreen when Clicked" - good option, but so difficult in realization I just want to make application like nlauncher.

(Hehe, glad to see you're so enthusiastic, but please don't double post. It's against the board rules . -NC)
