Samoonrize

Hi, this is my first post so... don't be too cruel...

I remember that someone (maybe tourmalet) asked for a docklette similar to the MoonDock by Gary C. Martin, so I decided to play around with samurize... and the result is in the screenshot.

In the zip file you'll find also a script to show only the moon on your desktop.

I guess that the visual basic script could be easily ported for ObjectDock.

Credits:

To Gary C. Martin for the idea of MoonDock, a MacOS X Dock application you can find at http://osx.garycmartin.com, and for the moon images (permission

granted).

To Oliver White for the public domain Visual Basic routines I used as a starting point to write the visual basic script that computes the moon age, you can find the script at the following URL

Hi Parkaboy

Welcome to the board. This looks absolutely wonderful. AndreasV did say he would try to make this for ObjectDock, but he has been rather busy recently with his marvellous AveDesk :D

I'm not able to get to my PC until later, (stuck on my Mac - how terrible :rolleyes: ) so cannot try it at the moment.

Once again thanks for your work and hope you enjoy AquaSoft.

Welcome to our humble abode. Enjoy your stay and make yourself feel at home. Would you like something to drink? Water? Tea? Jack and Coke?

This is a neat little script. It always the little things that count.

@ Seph - :D

Powerful first post, indeed great start (Y) Hey people, another Samurai around :lol: Thanks for the script!

Not that I myself would need to know anything about the moon except that it's not falling to earth but this is a great widget! It makes me wanna download it just for the hell of it! I think I just might too. (Y)

Tnx parkaboy, Great Work!!!!

Grande Parkaboy Bel lavoro, finalmente anche noi poveri pizzaboy facciamo qualcosa di positivo.

#99293

Thank you all guys :D

Thank you for the welcome, I'm really happy to know you appreciate samoonrize (yeah I know it's a script not so useful ;))...

Just one thing to wizard... I think the download link in the homepage is not correct, it links the orignal vb script by Oliver White and not samoonrize... anyway...

Any bug to report?

Absolutely beautiful job parkaboy!

I just want to add a suggestion for what people could link the moon icon to. In the original MoonDock, if you click on the moon you get a window displaying some detailed moon phase information. Screenshot: http://osx.garycmartin.com/moondockhelp/mo...kfullscreen.jpg

There is a similar and very small application for Windows that essentially does the same thing. It's called MoonTool, get it here: http://www.fourmilab.ch/moontoolw/

The only thing it lacks is the moon phase names (e.g., "Waning Crescent," "Waxing Gibbous," etc.). It has a similar custom date and time feature that MoonDock has, however, it's inconveniently located within options. Also the icon in the app is low quality and it doesn't have the neat feature that displays the name of the moon detail you're mousing over (as seen here: http://osx.garycmartin.com/moondockhelp/helphint.jpg).

Fortunately, the author has made the source code available (hint, hint ;)).

Anyway, hope this proves useful,
