@infra, I was about to ask teh same thing ! I mean gx comment ! lol

Wondering why nobody thanked Microsoft, Bill Gates, MS Windows, Visual Basic, Intel (of couse not Santhosh, Zeeshan etc) etc for making GigaSmilies win version

Wiered !!

@ Gx.. we will tune the GUI

@ All linux and Mac and solaris users. Please confirm if you are able to run GigaSmilies after installing mono

I agree with u

Nice work, pal
anyways, why you choose mono

Please port the remaining features from win to lin, ASAP
ideally, both version should be same

^^^ yes .. we will do it.. but poor guys they have exams

.. and I dont want to start coding without them

good work!there you go!

BTW,anybody there(qwerty?) porting this app to gtk or qt?personally I dont wanna install mono dependency

^^ he said he is busy for a few months.

Is this supposed to be a "MS Windows PE 32-bit Intel 80386 GUI Executable" ? I am getting an exe file on extracting it. Is it supposed to be so?
And where's a README file?

^^ yes its a exe .. use the following to run the program.

Code:

mono LinSmilies\ v0.1.exe

Any mac users tried this yet? My connection won't get that 90MB download, I'll have to go to the office for that.

Well then I will have to wait till I update to FreeBSD 7.0. Current version i.e. 6.2 only has mono 1.2.5.1. And please remove the whitespace in the name.

Zeeshan told on IRC to me that it works in mono 1.2.4

Well I am on FreeBSD, and I have no reason to doubt if it works on FreeBSD as it is supposed to work on Mac OSX, too.

Nice work Zeeshan!

nice work dude =D

When I run linsmilies, mono uses a lot of CPU even in tray mode. Can this be avoided in the future? I know this is the first release, so i'm not really complaining

There is one more thing, the display of the drop-down menu is not clear at all!! Check out the top image. *img99.imageshack.us/img99/4543/screenshotkx6.th.png

Seems to be the problem with your Distro . Coz in Ubuntu 7.10 Tray-Mode worked smoothly .

Might be a Font Problem , try installing the Restricted Windows Fonts .

Update: I'm thinking of removing extra Menus from tray-mode and rather allow the user to set 10(or 5) "Favourite" Smilies which will appear in Tray mode .

That way CPU Usage will be sginificantly reduced and App-Response will also be significantly improved .

cool... way to go...
bring it to interantional level....
