Softworld tm´s * Softshell Logi Beta 1.3 *

**********End News**********
Softshell Logi Features:
-> A Taskbar with full working, autosize (Taskbar-Buttons).
-> A Full working System Tray Handler.
-> A Startmenu with Programs, Favorites, Desktop
(instead for having a orginal desktop, I have it in the
Startmenu),My Documents, Find, Run, Control Devices,
Recycled and Shut-Down menu.
-> A Quickmenu that include all the shortcut´s and Dir´s
placed above Programs in the Explorer startmenu
and a Dir called Quickmenu where you can place your own
shortcut´s (it´s placed in the app.path).
-> A Shutdown menu that control the shutdown-time and all the
orginal option´s.
-> Easy access to all Windows options (like in Explorer).
-> All the Menu´s (Startmenu, Quickmenu) has a full working
Scroll function like the one in Explorer.
-> A Controlpanel called SLControl Panel where you can do a few
changes and setting´s like (changing color´s, the name on
the startbutton + more).
-> It can run under VB5 if you do some changes to the Modul
called modDevice1/ExtractFileName.
-> PopupMenu´s to the Taskbar and Startmenu.
Special Thank´s goes to:
-> Brian and his *BoS Shell*
-> Jeffrey C. Tatum for his *Ini read and Write*
-> Altamira for his *AMCLabel.ocx*
-> Mattias Sjögren for his *CTrayIcon class*
Notes:
-> Don´t forget to put the AMCLabel.ocx in the system dir
(comes with the .zip file..)...
-> The Win2000-Form-effect only work with win2000, you
have to uncheck the marks in the DoTrans function.
-> The other stuff works fine with Windows 95/98 and ME but there
is some bugs left to fix to make it work properly in Win2k.

Don't be an imbecile.
If your one of those annoying Microsft haters...why do you use VB.
Some people are just born brainless.

I loved the last version. Don't get me wrong, I Love It. I think you spent an awful lot of time on it. On this version...The blue is a little freaky! Am I missing something, can I change the color?

Your shell may kick everyone's a--, but as long as it's closed source, it will never get the recognition of B2 or Softshell.

9/20/2000 6:14:55 PM: Brian
Also "NEON" is no more customizable then B2.

ARGH Doesn't work for me, all kinds of errors, yes i read the readme files

9/24/2000 2:49:07 AM: Johan Olofsson
Hello Nobody.
I cant figure out what you have done wrong, becouse there is´nt anything wrong with the files.
First you have to copy the amclabel.ocx to your system dir, without this file there will be a lot of errors.
Please Mail me and describe the error, so i can help you.

The problem is if your using vb5 or lower there are a few commands that are restricted to vb6 and without replacements won't work.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

9/25/2000 2:22:10 PM: Johan Olofsson
Hi Trevor.
That´s right if you use vb5 or lower there is a problem, so use vb6.

Shells are not something to make in VB, or atleast not something to run. Unfortunately, VB programs always have the HUGE vbrun time file (something like 1.5 mb) hogging up the memory. They're also not that fast. If you're just looking for interface, get WindowsBlinds. If you're looking for speed and less memory hogging, get LiteStep, a C++ shell that's something like 200k.

One giant leap for Softshell. The problem? The interface still... well stinks. Blue? It's hard to read, and ugly. Lots of flicker, and taskbar buttons that barely work (when you click a button, it changes position).
Try B2 instead (search for B2)
Footnote: In all fairness, this comment was posted by the author of B2

ok.. whoever that was who said there shell, named @Shell, was going to be the best, I downloaded it and it's horrible! They used way to many front end ocx files which take up more memory than just API.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
9/17/2001 1:50:11 PM: Inuit
only 1 ocx, which i did not use all features
that is @Shell 1, @Shell 2 will be out soon!
I am going to release some source code so people can understand the skinning and make their own plugins for it!

Gary Mather: www.mavos.bizland.com is not working on my browser is the site registered still?
PS. I have made a windows shell myself and i think its a bit more, well in depth than this one, i mean im not knocking it because i think you have spent alot of time on it and some of the stuff you have used is really clever stuff and i wondered if u would mind if i used a bit of it on my new shell EZShell 1.0.0? Email matt_hall44@hotmail.com. If anyone wants a copy of my other shell then please just email me and ask for it.. unfortuantly source code will follow later because i kinda lost it =(.
regards,
Matt.

Windows ME 128MB RAM, Followed directions to the nail. Ran only when compiled to P-Code then ate my system resources down to nothing when loading the documents. Other than that ran good, good work I will be looking forward to your next relice. Think in the mean time I will try the previouse one. And the blue I think was a little to dark on my system. A color selecter for it would be in order.

hey peeps forget ME it is worthless! get a real OS. and to you m0rons that keep complaining about this being in vb go to H#LL! this is a vb site and what is released here can easily be translated to c++ the point is to show peeps how to do it! and another thing the whole vb runtime is not loaded at once you imbecile just the parts that are needed.

Downloaded source code, downloaded AMCLabel.ocx, opened project, errors galore, mostly centering around the AMCLabel control and not being a loaded control class, but also several picture boxes (start button most notably) were complaining about invalid property names. How to fix and test it out?
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
8/11/2003 6:54:30 AM:
Hi.
First you have to register the component AMCLabel.ocx with regsvr32.
Then you can run the shell, note this shell have not been updated for several years, it´s an old project, but feal free to download it and get some ideas to develop something new.....

By the way, great work, haven't had the time to check the whole code yet though. But i'm wondering, can i use some parts to my own prog, i've seen thet you've allowed many others to do so, but better to ask to many times...
if you want, you can answer to gross87@hotmail.com if you don't want, you can answer in here, but i'll probably not check in here for a while. do as you want.
