trollyMy new Gui: Q-Step
Hi, I'm working on a 2nd Gui (in screen 12) like Ondin, it's based on a core library... so i could easy port apps from the first gui to the new one. There wil not be complete windowing system (window are only drawed, they can not be moved) because i dont want to have multitasking system. The Gui as nice functions like dithering (for transparent window). You can configure the gui on the fly (without restarting the gui) and activate/unactivate transparency. The system is architectured around run-times modules (drawing window, dialog box, files dialogs, icons dialogs) are separate exes that are launched wen needed.

Looks very neat, trolly! Keep up the good work! Q-Step looks like it'll be another good GUI.		2008-09-2811:17 PM

Nice, the "transparency" is always a nice touch. I only found one tiny error while testing it - when I ran edit.com from the "Dos Progs" tab, and then exited, I got a (QB ) error about an incorrect path and the GUI terminated. The problem doesn't occur when you run it from C:Q-Step however, so it just looks like you've got an absolute path in there somewhere.		2008-09-2912:44 PM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Looks good, I'll try it later.		2008-09-291:51 PM
trollyRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
if you install q-step on another directory, you must update "rootpath" in "datagui.ini" with the value of yours install path		2008-09-294:28 PM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Overall, not bad. Its basically your last GUI with a little English and a better screen mode. It seems to have a lot of potential. BTW: You have 12 posts now, maybe you should get a cool avatar?		2008-09-294:45 PM
jasonwoodlandRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Very good! I like the semi transparency that's fast and the start up! It's also easy to understand how to add, remove icons and tabs. I couldn't stop playing those games as well.		2008-09-296:33 PM

That's my enthusiastic picture for WinRAR. RAR means "Roshal ARchive" since the guy who made it is Eugene Roshal.		2008-09-309:30 PM

BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
All these uploads aren't gonna be great for my server. Maybe if you have two in a row like that you could go me a favor and delete the first one then post the second, that way there i only 1 file? BTW: I don't think your second one uploaded right.		2008-10-036:40 AM

Hi, I've worked on a nice function : sticky with sticky the user can add/delete post-it on the desktop with the menu, you can show/hide edit delete the post-its (the "sticks") [img size=640]http://theguiblog.com/images/fbfiles/images/sticky.JPG[/img]		2008-10-038:12 PM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Sweet, neat idea.		2008-10-038:15 PM
ToddRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
That's very neat! It reminds me of how you can do that in KDE. But this looks better than KDE's post-it program.		2008-10-039:10 PM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Mac OS, GNOME (I think), and XFCE also have stick programs. Jacob made one Windows in VB at one point.		2008-10-039:20 PM
ToddRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Yeah I don't use them too much anyway. I just find them annoying after a while. Still it's a neat feature. I know lots of OSes are evolving into the "widget-powered" desktops of tomorrow. ;)		2008-10-039:24 PM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
Desktop cluter is bad, just so everyone knows.		2008-10-039:33 PM
ToddRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
That's why I can't stand it when someone who doesn't know how to use a computer loads up their computer with all these stupid widgets running in the background and when they open Internet Exploder, it's got like 5 toolbars loaded up in the window. :P		2008-10-0412:18 AM

I don't have nothing on my desktop, only a Picture :laugh:		2008-10-043:45 AM
ksrRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
It's weird - my Windows desktop is full of icons, but my Linux desktop has barely anything on it (just various partitions) - so the few widgets I do have (just a clock, calendar and CPU/RAM usage) seem less out of place. I don't like GNOME's "Tomboy Notes" though - they're powerful, but overly so for what they are. Sticky-type widgets should be simple and elegant.		2008-10-046:01 AM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
I find my desktop like Kyle says. In Windows the desktop is all important (Porbably because the start menu is full of shit), were as in Linux its not used much. I might have a few files for easy access and Conky System Resource Monitor but thats it.		2008-10-049:10 AM
jasonwoodlandRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
I organize the start menu and then all the stuff behind the cover is all out of place, lol.		2008-10-049:39 AM
ToddRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
I rarely use anything on the Start menu except "Run..."		2008-10-0410:33 AM
jasonwoodlandRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
That's the most used icon on my start bar to!		2008-10-047:31 PM

BTW: He'd probably like to chat with you on AIM sometime.[/quote] That's true. I'm still trying to convert my old GUI library to FB and get it working and then work from there. I'll use it as a beginning framework. College keeps me pretty busy. I have an Astronomy exam tomorrow, Computer Ethics exam Thursday, and regular studying in-between. My weekends are usually my times to just relax and not do so much work.		2008-10-052:19 PM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
lol, and in high school for the last 3 years your excuse was...? Anyways It should be an easy port. I like to use "-lang deprecated" because it lets me use more QB like Code. trolly: Murray is a GUI coder.		2008-10-052:34 PM
ToddRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
The past 3 years I was working on developing programming languages and PHP scripts. Yeah I know the "-lang deprecated" switch will do the trick but I'm referring to the mouse routines: they're for QB 4.5 but since FB has built-in mouse routines, I'll convert it over.		2008-10-053:13 PM

trollyRe:My new Gui: Q-Step : new killer feature in vfs
Hi, I worked the whole night to develop a new app for my gui:[b]VFS MANAGMENT TERMINAL[/b] This utility is like a normal console, but it's used to manage the virtual file system and only that. with it, you can: [ul] [li]create directories[/li][li]remove directories[/li][li]move (rename) directories[/li] [li]remove files[/li][li]move (rename) files[/li] [li]import files from the real file system[/li] [li] list the directoires name[/li][li]list the files from a directorie[/li][li]list the files from a given classe (type)[/li] [/ul] but's not all: i've added [b]THE KILLER FEATURE[/b] to VFS. With the managment terminal, you can make [b]backup from the whole vfs[/b] with two easy commands (backup, and restore). at last, must say that the managment console is abble to read batch file to send command automaticaly (the batch file is a simple texte file, wich contain the commands you would type) [img size=640]http://theguiblog.com/images/fbfiles/images/vfscon.jpg[/img] you can test it by [url=http://www.q-step.theguiblog.com]Download Q-Step from my site[/url]		2008-10-072:03 AM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step : new killer feature in vfs
Could you do something so I can tell one release for the next? Maybe like a compile number or something? Because I reviewed what was called 1.0 and now this is?		2008-10-076:48 AM
trollyRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
it's the 1.0 too, i've only added a program, not modified the system, there a no sence to give it a new version number. but i can give it the number 1.1		2008-10-078:07 AM
BrandonRe:My new Gui: Q-Step
I see. But It could be confusing if I review it and it has programs, and then someone tries it and it has other ones.		2008-10-071:38 PM
