XSWEEKLY Shell Related News 10.06.00 - 16.06.00 ------------------------------------------------- Kinda of a lite issue this week, but that's done on purpose as I have a million other little side projects going atm. Most of the sections that are gone this week will be back again next week as I will have some time. I have added in a new feature that I would like to get some responses to, a Mailbag. This weeks question is: What is the worst module you have ever used, and why? Mail all replies to demigod@meganet.net This week I am going to thank a bunch of people who helped me get to this point with the newsletter. - Yaso for registering the domain, doing the basic layout, and the gfx. - Bryan for hosting my mailing list and putting up with my crap about the shell. - mrG for the xsweekly button, and various layout ideas. - Fahim for standing by me and giving me support when I needed it most. - Everyone who wrote in to support me during my down period with LSWeekly. - Adam for hosting me for nothing and putting up with my crap. - My work for hosting my domain for nothing. - The coders for the various shells and os's. - My girlfriend and daughter for all their love and support. - Mike for listening to me complain about slow d/l speeds. - And everyone else I forgot, there are too many to name. Thanks a lot, without you, XSWeekly would never have become a reality. Here's hopping that I can continue to bring this letter to this part of the net. - demigod ................................................. -= Shell Specific =- ................................................. ------------------ [ Top News Stories ] ------------------ - XSWeekly.com Online (11:07 16.06 na) I finally got a domain and the page is up and running.

At this point all of its functionality is in its !bang commands, but Ender plans on including a contact list, etc. Let him know how you'd like the contact list to be implemented." url - http://floach.pimpin.net e-mail - ender@purels.org (source: http://floach.pimpin.net) +-------<*>-------+ - lsplaylist 20000614 ~ MrJukes (10:36 13.06 ls) "The Module Man, MrJukes, has put out a new module which is essentially an mp3 player as a loadmodule that he calls lsplaylist. He's also included an .exe which he calls playback. The module has all the standard mp3 player functions, all wrapped up into a loadmodule. The app is skinnable, so he's hoping that we'll get as many skinners as possible to put out some skins for playback. %%Update%% (11:12 15.00) - Added skinning support to the playlist on the main window. You can now move it around like the rest of the buttons. More details in skinning-readme.txt. - To get the fake winamp support working to display the currently playing song put FakeWinamp=1 in your [Main] section of lsplaylist.cfg - Added anchoring to the buttons. This will associate a button with a side. To use anchoring, click the edit layout button, then right click on the button you want to set the anchor for. The properties dialog doesn't work yet but it will soon. - Added support so you can use those modules that display the title of the currently playing song. - Fixed it so that the New Tracks Window pops up when a new mp3 is created anywhere in the watched directory structure. - Added skinning support the progress bar. Check the skinning readme for further details. - If you hold down control and use the arrow keys in Layout Edit Mode you can now resize a button on the fly. - Fixed the pause between songs. url - http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/anders/Playback e-mail - mrjukes@purdue.edu (source: http://floach.pimpin.net) +-------<*>-------+ - LS Tetris 1.1 ~ WhiteShadow (10:41 13.06 ls) A Tetris module that has all the regular Tetris game features. url - http://www.muohio.edu/~changty/modules.htmlx e-mail - changty@muohio.edu (source: http://floach.pimpin.net) +-------<*>-------+ - Sentry 1.0 ~ TrOgI (11:18 15.06 ls) "TrOgI, author of the popular and useful dwarf wharf replacement, has released a new analog clock module he calls "Sentry". It's very customizable, supports Magic Pink (tm) transparency, shows the date (with the customizability of LSXCommand :), and supports dragging. If you want something other than the popular Chronos or LSXCommandClock digital clocks and you don't want to have to load up a wharf just to run alsclock or the like, then this new loadmodule is your best choice." url - http://desktopsource.mindjunction.com/ e-mail - (source: http://floach.pimpin.net) +-------<*>-------+ - lsxcommand 1.8.1 ~ Visigoth (11:25 15.06 ls) lsxcommand is the swiss army knife module for LiteStep.
