GradTest is a xoblite / Blackbox for Windows plugin that displays a fully styled window (according to the current window style settings), with clickable buttons, focused/unfocused state, etc. This gives style creators the visual feedback they need to tweak their styles to include *all* elements, while waiting for a window skinning plugin to be released (actually, it will still be useful even after such a plugin is released if you do not want the additional CPU load of window skinning).
...and it looks really cool too! <g>
Please note that GradTest requires xoblite bb1 or later (to be released soon), or a recent (nightly) build of Blackbox for Windows. |

Added a glyph to show if a style file is avaiable.. Look for styles with ‡, they have styles you can download.
Added RSS 0.92 backends for both News and Screenshots. Screenshots feed has enclosures for thumbnails, not sure what they do for you, but it should be cool :-P..
Made (some) custom graphics to reduce the size of the left hand colum.
Comment count on screenshots is now only shown if someone has posted a comment.
Using • instead of :: now.. I think it looks better for one and felt like it for 2 :)
Spent way too much time browsing the web trying to make things easier for you people (don't ask, it was pointless anyway, just took me 2 hours to realize it..) |

Updates for the latest BB08LC:
* fixed the 'diamond' bullet
setting for all bullets in extensions.rc: blackbox.appearance.bullet.unix:
true = small size(4), false = large size(6)
* the word 'nolabel' on any line in bbkeys.rc disables the display for key commands on the toolbar.
* tweaked autoraising of overlapping, pinned menus (also stripped 'opaque.window.move' option).
* new gradient code (-9kb). Elliptic gradients and sunken bevels are handled more consistently (IMO). 'ParseLiteralColor' deflated (-3kb).
* restart logic changed (workspaces and desktop are preserved).
* sometimes windows changed workspace or disappeared, when minimized. Should not happen anymore.
* BBSystemBar got a 'show current tasks only' option. In the menu or with alt-right-click in the task zone.
I think that's everything since the last version I saw/posted about.. You can check out the changelog here and downloads are here. This build was actually released July 12th. |

You now have the option of uploading the style file you are using with your screenshot.. You can either set the name, or upload a style file (in which case the style's name and author are extracted from the style file.) Please let me know if this causes any problems, I've tried to test it out by myself as much as possible, but ya know how it goes. Anyway, get to uploadin :-P
Things to come: Wallpaper uploading and RSS/RDF newfeed (why not right :-P )
Happy 4th of July! |
