Casinomeister Toolbar (BETA)

[Simmo!]

Hi chaps

I have just finished developing v1.0 of a Casinomeister Toolbar (for Internet Explorer) with Bryan's help and we're now ready for you guys to take a look and see what you think.

You can grab it from http://toolbars.winthemes.com/casinomeister

I've tried to keep it simple and small so it doesn't get in the way. You can use it to search the forums, get direct access to each forum, PM's and view the accredited / evil lists etc. There is also a built in "Spyware Remover" and a facility to screenshot a webpage (under "Tools"). There's more stuff and some of Bryan's favourites plus links to directly PAB etc. NB: The site hosting the "chat room" in the toolbar is currently being moved so it may be down for a few hours.

Also, I have developed a 32Red Toolbar with direct access to stuff like Playcheck, Cashcheck, the games arcade, poker casino etc etc.

You can grab it from http://toolbars.winthemes.com/32red

Both shoud be easy to install - they are small zip files with an .exe inside - just run it and it will take just a few seconds. So the theory goes...lol.

Be interested in any feedback so, bang away (not literally Pina!)

Cheers,

Simmo!

Thanks dude!!

Yes, please download the toolbar when you have a chance and give us some input on this. If there are things missing that you'd like to see (or things you don't need) please post them here.

How about a toolbar for Firefox too?

I'm looking into it - there are one or two issues with things like the Spyware Remover but I think a Firefox version is feasible

Good work - looks great

DNS issue now fixed for downloads after temporary outage. Also, the "Chat Room" is now working too.

Can you also do a Firefox extension?

As per the above, I made some progress on this today but Firefox doesn't support some of the features which makes life tricky. It uses dynamic XML menu building - not supported by FF. Also, FF doesn't support auto-updating and detection of updates, nor will it support the "Webpage Snapshot" and "Spyware Remover" features. But the rest *should* work so I'll see if i can do a cut-down version at some stage. May take a while though as I have other things on the go right now

Simmo - looks great!

Only thing I don't like (really peer's me off with other similar ones) is that it takes up a whole 'row' of my browser, reducing my web viewing area

Is there a way to move it to the left (or right) end of the address bar?

Hey KK

Thanks. Yes. Go to "View/Toolbars" in IE, untick the "Lock The Toolbars" menu item, then you can grab the little vertical bar to the left of any toolbar and drag it elsewhere. Then "lock the toolbars" again (optional)

Note however that a few versions of IE have a "known bug" which can rearrange the toolbars...if that happens, you can experiment a bit aned eventually you'll find a place it will stick

The reason i made all these toolbars as single buttons or small is so they won't take up much space. I've released some more by the way - radio, screenshots, casino database etc etc http://toolbars.winthemes.com

Cheers

PS. Also on the View/Toolbars" menu you can choose "Customise" and remove all those icons you never use like "Print" / "Favourites" / "Word" and "History" etc
