AveTool - coming soon (I hope)

Preview of AveTool

What?

Who?

Desklet Authors
Skinners (AveTunes, etc...)
Anybody interested

When?

dunno.

Beta?

If you are a desklet author or skinner, reply in this thread if you want to try test versions of this.

Example

The following file is a stand-alone version of the AveDesk Stickies Desklet. Note that this build is from a very early test version, so there's lots of stuff that should not be there. http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/stickynotes.zip

wow. just, wow...

#436066

This will be defitintely useful Ave.

#436077

I don't get it.

Is this just so anybody can make stand-alone desklets?

Happy New Year, BTW.

#436094

if you don't get it, this is not for you.

#436110

Sure, I'm interested

Very nice.

#436111

Your an amazing man Ave very impressive.

#436112

Step 1: Steal Underpants

Step 2: ???

Step 3: PROFIT!

That's an excellent idea Ave! Kudos to you and your little brain!

#436113

Sounds tasty

@Wuzzie

I think this is more for developers then us, "simple" users.

#436142

Looks & works very well.

Fire one my way when you need some testing.

#436144

@ Wuzzie: It's an application to run only your favorite desklets, without running AveDesk

#436176

Actually, I'm not a skinner or a coder, but I would be VERY interested in testing it out as well

Oh, I forgot. Will the standalone desklet version use less resources than actual AveDesk version?

#436178

Anybody interested in testing and providing feedback can contact me on MSN Messenger: avedesk@gmail.com

#436245

Here's a small preview movie: http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/clip0115.zip . Got most things running now

#436270

This seems like a great idea, I hope this turns out well with the pidl shortcuts and AveTunes

#436273

if you don't get it, this is not for you.

Okay, I am guessing that you can basically take multiple desklets that are used in AveDesk and combine them to create your own application. Is this correct? If so, grand idea, it would somewhat eliminate the need for avedesk and allow you to create your own application. Which should create less need for system resources (in theory).

#436275

Here's a very early test version.

http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/AveTool.zip . Extract to your AveDesk folder.

Remarks

The last dialog is currently the "version" page. Pressing next will compile the thing
You must pick a trayicon
by typing *.png in the "browse for trayicon" dialog you can also pick a PNG, which will be converted to an icon automatically.
You can hand change some of the policies.xml fields before pressing the final "next".

Remarks are appreciated.

#436380

Hangs during compiling for me. It appears to complete at least a partial build. I'll continue testing with some other desklets.
