Geoshell beta updated
Wednesday, March 31, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
The new beta of GeoShell has some fixes and some new features.
Some changes in this release:
- Fixed the desktop window from recieving mouseclicks directly but rather hook the main desktop window. All messages are routed to the geodesktop window.
- Fixed the inset drawing bug
- New GeoTray plugin with icon hiding, balloon tips and hopefully working tray popups.
The new features in this release are mainly in the GeoTray, which will hopefully act more like the Win2000 or WinXP tray in which the icons can be hidden (and shown using a drawer button) and even have balloon tips.
My recommendation to you is if you are using GeoShell for the first time that you install the stable build (which has many plugins that you could use) and write the beta over that. I would also recommend for first-time users that if you are not comfortable with changing values in the registry, that this may not be the best shell for you.
You can read more on GeoShell here.
Or get the newest beta.
Any questions about what GeoShell is? You can also read here.
And if you are interested as a first-time-user you can read up on how to begin enjoying GeoShell in 10 minutes.

I would assume so...they've been there forever...like, 3 or 4 years since the original geoshell site of that design (that used to be the layout for geoshell.com...designed by Cosmok (I think), aka andrew@shellfront). I would assume that she (Copland) knows about it...

no longer (what is a shame), but she always was more into the shell scene than the skinning scene (which are two different beast), so i am sure everything is correct.
Cosmok a ripper ... sheesh ... it´s far more likely William Bull (who designed the QNX icons) is not aware of a certain shareware application icon promoted on a large skinning website.
