Some update on stickies

Posted Wednesday, December 14, 2005 4:12 AM by Shunjie
I was trying for a few hours trying to round border to the stickies.

I did manage to have a round border for the sticky in the end but I realize they look real ugly with round border (especially when collapse, looks like a capsule..haha) and the codes I trying is still buggy, which makes the stickies 'swim' down the screen when they are collapsed, so I decide to remove it away first since they sort of make the stickies look weird =(

Also, solved some bugs for the current implementation and also added the notification codes so that alerts can be set. I am not sure if there is a better way, but it seems that all the example I found sort of uses the 'brute force' way of setting up notifications - A timer with an interval of 1000 and on each tick event, loop through the array for any alarm they have. I try another way instead, althought I believe there should be a much better way..haha.. for me, I keep track of the next incoming alert and set the timer Interval equivalent to it. Whenever a notification event occurs, or a notification event is added, I loop the stickies and find the next nearest incoming notification again, and reset the timer Interval. It works fine so far, maybe i try to run it on VM and change the system time on it to see if anything crops up tomoro.

Anyway this is the screen shots of the current implementation:


Manage to add in color picker


Changed the icons (I know it looks familiar) Anyone can volunteer to make icons ? ha..


I know it look weird, removed

Resizing is now smoother too, thanks to serena for supplying her goo-codes..haha.. will touch more on that tomoro..time to ZzzZ

Hopefully will have time tomoro to do up all the little little bugs.

You know what can help your notification? Policy workflow!!! But it is a bit killer... I don't know how much memory footprint it is going to add... Keep up the good work!

Kit,

You must be kidding! All he needs are two variables and a timer. :p
