GVNotifier 1.4 – an oveview

May 21, 2010

GVNotifier 1.4 is out – tons of great new features, just to name a few…

  • Contacts sync:  No more waiting for your contact list to load up each time you fire up GVNotifier!  Contacts and photos are stored on disk and synchronized after login, or each time you select the option on the notification area menu, or jumplist.
  • Windows 7 taskbar integration:  Common tasks and pinned contacts are available on the GVNotifier jumplist, just right-click on the taskbar icon.  Contacts sync progress is shown on the taskbar button as well.
  • Call History:  Call history is now a tab on the main window, 4 pages of calls from Missed, Placed and Received are loaded each time you start GVNotifier, an new events are updated in realtime.
  • Voicemil transcriptions & playback:  Click the voicemail tab on the main window to view or listen to voicemail.
  • Message Spellchecking

GVNotifier 1.4 was built using the Windows Presentation Foundation subsystem.  WPF is very flexible and building beautiful user interfaces has never been easier.  Inspiration came from Office 2010 and Windows 7.

With the upgrade to WPF, I took the time to rebuild my Google Voice connectivity library, removing the dependency on MSHTML, a component that was causing 50% or 100% CPU usage for some users.  This new library is more reliable than ever.

Check out the screenshots over at the product page.

Thanks to everyone over at the beta group, and Jared Kastriner for testing and reporting bugs throughout the process!  Special thanks also to everyone who has donated!

GVNotifier login issues

May 2, 2010

It appears that Google has made some changes to the login system for Google Voice during the past couple of days.  Not everyone is seeing login problems, but some users are reporting it.

I’ve posted a beta version over at the GVNotifier Beta Group.  You can download it now, but I’ll likely be pushing it out to all users later today, or tomorrow.  If the beta version has fixed your login problem, please let me know!

AeroAlert – Change the DWM Aero accent color.

April 17, 2010

AeroAlert is a quick project that I put together this weekend.  The intent is to have the ability to signal that a condition has occurred, without using FlashWindow(Ex).  I’ve included some sample batch files and a demo video of what is possible.  Using the -k switch, one could use AeroAlert to change the DWM Aero color persistently.

To change the color based on weather, check out AeroWeather!

ThumbPreview – Movable taskbar thumbnails

March 27, 2010

I’ve had this project hanging around for a long time – it’s not quite complete but it does a nice job of letting you preview a window like the windows 7 taskbar, but in a more persistent and flexible way.

It’s easy, just tap Win+Z to create a movable thumbnail window for the window you have in focus.

Check out the application page and download.

BTProximity: Lock and Unlock PC when Bluetooth phone is in range

March 25, 2010

BTProximity is an application for Windows Vista and Windows 7 that can detect when your bluetooth-enabled phone has come into range, and unlock your computer.  When the device moves out of range, the computer is automatically locked.  This isn’t a fake lock window, the computer is locked using Windows Security.

BTProximity is donationware, if you like it, please donate!

Download (Windows Vista/7 only – x86 and x64)

BTProximity (ClickOnce Installer)

Notes

- The device needs to be paired with Windows first, then it will show up in the devices list.  If you don’t pair the device, secure mode will need to be disabled in order for the device to appear.

- Be sure to install the unlock component if you’d like to automatically unlock.

- Be sure to set the credentials to unlock.

- Setting the check interval too high may lead to poor battery life.

- “Faster Unlock” will unlock as soon as the device has been seen, without an additional check.

- Notification area icon colors:

Gray: Host device is not compatible or not found.

Red:  Device is not connected (out of range)

Green: Device is connected (in range)
