All of the anime Teen Tards suck.
What does this have to do with the topic?
I jokingly asked, "Umm...  Do I have to stick it on the crotch of some pre-pubescent dork? Or can I put it where I want? " Then you made your reply, and I made mine.

As for Acmlmboards, I think it'd be easier to just code the features directly into them. 
Great. Wanna tell me how I could do that? 'Cause I'd like to have an &uptime& or an &freespace& or whatever set of tags.
For the server, or for your computer? Either way you'd probably be better off writing your own program.
For my AcmlmBoard. If I have to write my own program, I'm out of luck. I'm not a programmer. |

You're going to have to directly have HH's program send messages to your server. Oh, and it'll have to know how to handle them. Perhaps it'd be easiest to have a PHP file so it can send a HTTP PUT signal to it. And the best way (eg, most efficient) would be to have some other server-side application listen on a certain port for a text file that DG can send messages as. |

You're probably talking about the dashboard, which isn't always on top (it can be, it has 3 options). I'm talking about the OSD.
Ah, yeah, but that's still not the same. That puts the text overtop of everything, and only on a keypress. This only puts it over the desktop background and it's always there. (And I know the dashboard isn't always on top, but it's not that useful otherwise. )
[edit] Hey, nice! MBM's dashboard does stay in the space in mode 2, so long as you don't click it.  |

Sweet! I've been wanting a nice way to put a little calendar on my desktop!
Umm... Do I have to stick it on the crotch of some pre-pubescent dork? Or can I put it where I want?
And you should make it so that it can plug into AcmlmBoard. Yeah. Then I can code an &uptime& tag for my board, and it will display the uptime. Oh and you shoul... *shot*  |

Yeah, we're talking ridiculously crappy old card. But it could happen. |

ReactOS and Windows 2000 were on the same hardware... using the same video drivers. It's an OS bug. |

That generally means font.bmp is messed up, or your video card sucks. Though in this case I'm willing to bet it's an OS issue. |

Motherboard Monitor can do it. It has been able to do it for a LONG time. I don't know if it can do rainbows, I don't know its limits or whatnot, but it's there and I'm pretty sure you can do that stuff with it. |

Edit: Now I've had time to test it on Windows, so k. It's pretty neat...

Not at all. I just haven't put all my Inuyasha wallpapers into it, because that'd mean converting several hundred 1280x1024 images to BMPs. I'm just gonna wait until I get at least JPEG support implemented.
Anyway... it's neat, but I say if you want to really let people extend it, release the source
I intend to, but I need to finish it first. I'll also be releasing an actual documentation on how to write the plugins, what functions they can use, etc.
Edit: Hmm.. it doesn't like it when you're not using Explorer as a shell 
Not much I can do about that. The function that draws the desktop image on the windows, which is required for transparency, is very limited and I think it only works with Explorer. (It doesn't even let you specify a position or size to do double-buffering, it just uses the specified window's. ) Also I would need a way to get the shell's desktop handle (the main issue), and they may not play nicely with the idea of adding children to their desktop window.
They should just be borderless windows (and preferably to stay on bottom unless opted otherwise)
I don't think there's a way to keep them on the bottom, short of manually placing them there, and that would not only take up a fair bit of CPU power, it would trigger Windows to move them out of the reserved screen space. Plus it's a lot easier to manage this way. |

Yep. Now all you Windows XP users can have your uptime, HD/memory/CPU usage, and calendar on your desktop like you see in all them Linux screenshots. And that's not all! Click here to read the full feature list and download the program. (It's beta, BTW, so there's still some things missing... like an interface. But it's still fully usable if you know how to edit the registry, and even if not, you can still get some basic use out of it.  )
BTW, yes, those colours do make the text hard to read, but they're optional. You can use whatever colours you want. |
