The ribbon? Why?

-Lashiec (February 07, 2008, 09:13 AM)

I can assume any of the following positions:
    a) you're blind.
    b) you're secretly working at Microsoft, in the Silly GUI Design area.
    a) you're just trying to nag me.

Don't want to spoil the party, but the latest IE7 build does this by default

-Lashiec (February 07, 2008, 08:38 AM)

a) Nice, they're listening to the users. Now get them to remove the ribbon in Office
b) Maybe it's only in selected markets or sth? I updated today to IE7 and I got v7.0.5730.13, didn't have classic menus enabled.

Internet Explorer 7 Classic Menu Enabler

This is a tiny app that will enable classic menus on IE7. That means your menu bar will ALWAYS be visible and will be ON TOP of the window, like it should.
Enjoy.

Well, most hardware-bound software have a 'transfer license' option, and dongle protected software can be physically sold.

Relationship btwn. Reviewer and Product	I have no relationship with MixMeister at all, there's no money involved. I am a fan of their products (up to v6, v7 is scary), and I never bought from them (bad, bad scannie)

Intro:
MixMeister Express 6 is an entry-level DJ Mixing software that allows you to create mix-CDs easily. The lack of dual-soundcard (preview) support renders it unusable for live performance tho.



Who is this app designed for:
This app is designed for anyone who likes listening to music, and likes silky-smooth transitions, but has no DJ equipment. No tech-knowledge is necessary to use it.

The Good

• Lovely Interface
• Nice sound quality
• Easy to Use
• Not expensive
• Mix-points and transitions are easy to customize.

The bad

• Lack of beat-matched overlays (loops)
• Lack of dual-soundcard support
• Lack of effects support
• Has to be ran in fullscreen mode (full.ahk or similar) if resolution is < 800x600

How does it compare to similar apps
Hmm... Let's see. It is NOT similar to any DJ apps i'm aware of (DSS DJ, Mixxx, Traktor, Deckadance, you name it). Acoustica Mixcraft comes close, but can't match the awesome beatmatching thing MM does.

Conclusions
If you're a vinyl fan, or you like tweaking knobs, scratching, or hand-mixing, this is NOT the software for you. If you want to drop a playlist, tweak the mixes a bit, and enjoy the music... What are you waiting for to buy it?

Check out what I've been able to do after a few minutes of playing with it: http://www.box.net/rssdownload/129475249/MixMeister%20Express%206%20Mix.rar

Wisdom for Coders: Never use code to turn off the monitor and use a timer to execute it repeatedly to keep it off...you won't be able to use the hotkey to turn it back on (and shut the timer off) or use your pc for anything, without hitting the reset button. 

-app103 (January 18, 2008, 10:43 AM)

Too late. I did it in ASM. On the first post.
      @@:
          invoke SendMessage, HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, 61808   , 2
         invoke Sleep, 1
          jmp @b

That was all the code I compiled. After running, the monitor turned off, and everytime i moved the mouse or pressed a key it turned flashed on and back off. Half-blind, I went to start/run and tskilled my app

Well, I have it almost finished and it just needs 2 lines of code and a set of hotkeys. (then I have to test it)

I am never really good with picking hotkeys that make sense and don't conflict with other things, so maybe someone else here can make a suggestion for the 2 combos that I should use this?

Developer's Corner / Re: Free icons for developers

« on: January 18, 2008, 06:34 AM »

But wasn't the LGPL made to avoid such kind of things?

-Lashiec (December 18, 2007, 01:44 PM)

Well...

with LGPL code, you need to either use the code in DLL form, or if you use a static library, provide your .obj files so people can re-link. I dunno how it applies in the case of icons. *GPL is a mess.

-f0dder (December 18, 2007, 05:43 PM)

Since it's a bunch of pixels, and the icon "source" can be extracted (Icon Extractor anyone?) I think it's OK to use them.

Hi. I tried coding it, the monitor can be shut down using
       invoke SendMessage, HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, 6180   , 2
but surprise, it turns on after the slightest mouse or keyboard movement.

I personally doubt it can be done via software, however, a low-tech workaround might work. Set windows to NOT to suspend the laptop when closing the lid. On my laptop at least, where monitor meets the keyboard, there's a small button. Simply stick something there and the monitor will turn off, but keyboard and touchpad will still work as normal. Hope it helps.

I attached a video as proof, using a business card.

Hi guys!
What about a small app that silently (no GUI) captures a snapshot from each webcam connected to a PC. I've been using some surveillance software to do it, but it's too much bloat for a single capture...  I tried coding it myself, but i was unable to capture from more than one camera.

Thanks in advance...

Lasyk myThemeCreator is a really easy to use app for creating mobile phone themes. It supports over 80 devices, mostly Sony Ericsson and Nokia S40 Handsets.

mTC runs on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, since it's Java based.
I'll stick to the official tools, but for those who wanted ease of use, give mTC a shot.
