Aqua-Soft Forumsalpha2zulu could you post the resources for the BitRocket dock icon? I cant seem to find a good image anywhere.
Torrent Docklet
Could something like this be made for uTorrent as well? uTorrent has an "net gui" thing so can this be potentially used to display the speeds etc?
Thanks!
I updated my docklet to use WinPCap, which is supposed to be compatible with XP SP 3 and Vista:
http://www.matiasmoreno.com.ar/BandwidthDocklet-test.rar
Pros:
- it should work with XP SP 3 and Vista.
Cons:
- you have to install WinPCap.
- it doesn't detect upload bandwidth... maybe I'm missing something.
To-do:
- make it detect upload bandwidth.
- allow the user to select network device.
- add an option in skin files to align text to the right.
Edit:
Ok, added option to align text to the right.
Align=0 --> align to left, X is the left position of text.
Align=1 --> align center, X is the middle of the text.
Align=2 --> align to right, X is the right position of text.
Everything works,except the "upload" doesn't work,matonga.
In your previous ver the "upload" works if I open DA.
I like the "allign" thing.
I only use "port 80".
XP SP2.
Thank's
maybe add the shortcut feature, for we launch the torrent client too in the same icon/docklet..
@Matonga
When you get time for this I have some skins ready. As of right now I'm still using the first one you made really hate to install something just to get a docklet working shame you cant do it any other way.
WinPCap its just a dll Mr. Ghostwalker, it's not a program you need to execute.. but, only the download works, the UL rate don't works
WinPCap its just a dll
Oh my mistake, couldn't that just be included in the docklet? or does it have to be in system 32 folder or something? And please Mr. is to formal GW is fine.
ok now where does the dll need to be in the docklet directory or system 32or can I register it anywhere?
I have no idea how to manually setup the WinPCap stuff. It's not my own development, and it's the best way afaik to get the stats (even though I still don't know how to use it properly).
Whenever possible I try to include the required software, for e.g. in FlyingCow the following are included without need for install:
- a .pdf to .ppm converter.
- mplayerhq (custom version with plugins incorporated into the .exe)
However I know little about WinPCap yet. It's opensource as far as I can recall so you can download it, check the sources and compile and install it by yourself in case of any doubt.
It installs a kernel driver among other stuff, so I don't think registering a .dll would suffice, at least a .sys file with corresponding .inf may have to be installed also.
Anyway I have seen people download the .net framework and not bother about it 
Edit:
New features!
- Detects upload bandwidth.
- Let's you launch an app on click (as suggested by proenca and can't remember who else).
To-do list:
- Let the user choose the device to be monitored (currently chooses last device by default).
- Ask for decent skins. My skin is as beautiful as an elefant is thin or a snail is fast

Edit:
Fixed cosmetic issue (text had a nasty black border, now removed).

Installed WinPcap, docklet works fine but the skins I had need a little fixing then I will post some links.
Also by chance could you figure out how to get the running indicator to work after you start your program herd was able to do this with the iTunes docklet but that is the only one I have seen like that. Not sure if you can do it not knowing what program they launch?
thanks matonga for the shortcut thing.. Now, i think you can include the feature to show the UL/DL in the icon/docklet title.. like the ical docklet.
feature to show the UL/DL in the icon/docklet title
Not really needed if it is being displayed in the dock is it?
Matonga, I would like to see an option in the skin file for shadowed text if at all possible?
it isn't showing anything here, just empty fields (vista 32bit)
@proenca:
Thanks for mirror!
About title... maybe a %U and %D (upload and download respectively) so you can put whatever you want, such as uTorrent (%D kB), etc...
@Ghostwalker:
Of course! I was thinking about text borders. But now I will implement shadow first. 
I'll stay tuned to test any skins from you.
@proenca:Thanks for mirror!

exactly, I want this to hide both (the DL and UL) in the skin, i just want to see this info in the title and the icon shortcut for my torrent app. (thats because I use the dock in small mode [ about 20px ])
@proenca:
http://www.matiasmoreno.com.ar/BandwidthDo...-2008-01-20.rar
Use %U to show upload in kBytes, %D to show download in kBytes, as label. For e.g.:
μTorrent (%D kB / %U kB)
links not working, sorry could have been me working now.
thanks i will test now..
and mirror again -> http://johnproenca.com/idisk/uploads/publi...-2008-01-20.rar
edit, i tested the new build and doesn't works correctly 
(see the utorrent UL/DL and your docklet, the values are too diferent)
Mmm... link doesn't even work in my own computer!
Ok, I re-upload it to another host:
http://www.matiasmoreno.bbt.net.ar/bandwid...-2008-01-20.rar
I don't mind if anyone post a mirror, as my main server is actually offline (my site is running in my own PC )
@ghostwalker:
I'm trying to implement the blurring stuff for shadows (I suppose the shadow must have blur). It's getting very complicated, I guess I'm forgetting some basic stuff.
Edit:
Oh, thanks proenca!
(I suppose the shadow must have blur)
Not necessarily if you can do two text objects just put one behind the other and drop it down one pixel and to the right one pixel.
The BitRocket skin has 2 backgrounds per folder depending on if you just want the Downloads or both.
Also if you want to use it here is a new default image.......
