@charan:share how do u able to use it in Linux.I know mono libs are needed to be installed.still...am clueless :(

I have to spend some more time researching on mono and to understand how to use it correctly. Im still trying to get .NET apps to work with linux , but still no luck :( .. let me see if I can find something today.

BTW can you give me any link for GTK+ programming?

great work http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/41.gif

[koolbluez]

[ravi_9793]

Simply Gr8 work.
Congrats Gigacore and Charan. Wish to see..its updated versions in futures. :p

[Gigacore]

@ abhi, Thanks man

@ koolbluez.. we have an idea of releasing new versions with different smiley editions.. Your suggestion is noted... We'll work on it .. thanks

@ Ravi Sir, Thanks and sure will launch new versions

[The Conqueror]

can u add such similies in GTALK ?

[Gigacore]

no harry

[Charan]

More smilies will definitely come as well as compatibility to orkut, right now but we have no plans of including it with gtalk or other 3rd party applications. We will look into firefox extension... :)

[Gigacore]

And guys I wrote a article about this project in my blog. It says all about how we did and how charan helped me..

Please Have a Look (http://www.santhosh.pcchitchat.com/?p=24) http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/26.gif

[The Conqueror]

no harry


oh...........Gtalk does need similies....ok but thank u once again for this:p

[jal_desai]

Excellent...Gigacore... really innovative...

One Suggestion:
This is just a kinda tweak you can say. Add a tooltip on every button and write the name of tht expression... like if i hover over a smiling smiley then a tooltip saying "Smile" should appear.

http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/1.gif

[Gigacore]

^ Thanks for that suggestion..

My God I forgot to do that...charan said to do it... but i forgot.. i'm sorry.. will do it in the next version http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/106.gif

[pritish_kul2]

still no avail...poof...

@heyyyy!thanks qwerty!gr8! :)aah!without mono we can have it in Linux!that will be gr8!

Just forget it man ... :p

[praka123]

^ :(

[casual_gamer]

If the Gigasmilies window is on top it uses lot of cpu power(almost 25%). If it is in the background it uses 0%. Is this high cpu usage normal?

[QwertyManiac]

Yeah its .Net :p

[Gigacore]

If the Gigasmilies window is on top it uses lot of cpu power(almost 25%). If it is in the background it uses 0%. Is this high cpu usage normal?

Yes.. this is the prob we are facing and as qwerty said its built on .NET

The amount of CPU usage depends upon ur CPU Make and Model. For me its around 10% while its maximized.

And with addition to .NET, all the smilies animate at once.. this is the another reason. (it may consume around 1 - 2%)

And we are finding ways to overcome this..

[pushkaraj]

very nice app. thanx

[blackpearl]

Hey!! that's a cool software. :)
Nice work!!

[Gigacore]

I'm Glad to Launch my new version of GigaSmilies

GigaSmilies v1.1 - Yahoo Edition

Whats new in v1.1 ?

GigaSmilies v1.1 has a new feature called "Tray Mode". You can select the smiley without opening the main window!. And you can also switch between Tray Mode and Full Mode Easy.

The Smilies are categorized and can be accessed by just right-clicking on the GigaSmilies icon in the tray. Just browse through the menus and click on the one you want to insert and the BB code automatically gets copied and you can simply paste in the forum to use it!.

And one Non-Yahoo smiley is now replaced with two new yahoo smilies.

[Gigacore]

How about making it open source ? so people can have a look at code. Enhance it and learn from it aswell :)

Thanks...

And this app is still in flux state... We both will take the app to a certain level which makes us feel happy with the code structure. Then we will sure make this opensource.

[praka123]

^thats so nice.btw,any plan for linux version :?:

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

congrats man...gr8 job

[Gigacore]

@ prakash.. actually i'm not personally happy with the present code structure. as i said before.. we both will bend it and will give the code to u OSS guys.. so that we(OSS and Win) both can join and release new versions with same new features.. http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/1.gif

[infra_red_dude]

Awesome work, Santosh :)

[Gigacore]

[Charan]

hmm..... good work I'd say! nice to see that someone got inspired from THIS (http://www.chip-india.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28344) work :)

WO HO .. never knew there was another similar application.. :p .. Any way Myself or Gigacore absolutely didnot know about this before and I asure that Gigasmilies was not inspired by that software.. And also we both are not members of the Chip forum.

BTW did you create that application?

[anandk]

just great ! keep going buddy :-)

[Batistabomb]

charan i think you both guys developed this

[Charan]

good work charan http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/77.gif
Thanks :) , but it was Gigacore who developed the software :p , I only gave tips and some routines , and did debugging :).

[Gigacore]

Thanks anand bro! http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/1.gif

@intelomkar, read charan's reply.. +1

[preshit.net]

Yea, it was his ( intelomkar's ) idea much before that topic was posted on CHIP.

Its his app, helped by a friend of his :)

He used to use a version just for himself... when people asked him... he made some improvements and released it :p

[intelomkar]

hmm.... yup! Me n my friend made that app.

just co-incidence that both got same idea ! lolz !!

[Charan]

charan i think you both guys developed this
Yes thats correct.. we developed it by our concept.. But now as this other application has come to the picture .. we may have to defend our work .. any way its protected by CC so no need to worry ;) ..

now there is another problem :( .. What features we wanted to include in the next version is available in that application :(.. like exproting to < img > < /img > codes..

hmm.... yup! Me n my friend made that app.

just co-incidence that both got same idea ! lolz !!
Yep co-incidence.. :)

[intelomkar]

meh... go on dude. every other software has alternatives. just make sure you have better features. and ohh btw, I wont be working on it anymore ;) I have got better project to work on :p

[casanova]

Nice work, Giga

[Charan]

meh... go on dude. every other software has alternatives. just make sure you have better features. and ohh btw, I wont be working on it anymore ;)
Thanks :) , the confusion is cleared now :)

[Gigacore]

meh... go on dude. every other software has alternatives. just make sure you have better features. and ohh btw, I wont be working on it anymore ;)

lol.. thanks..... hey and this is not an alternative... coz we never copied the concept from that app .. http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/3.gif

[Batistabomb]

Yes thats correct.. we developed it by our concept.. But now as this other application has come to the picture .. we may have to defend our work .. any way its protected by CC so no need to worry ;) ..

[Voldy]

charan can you tell clearly what background work is all concerned here, say any compilers,languages,tools e.t.c;
Ok
The application is written in Visual basic 2005.We have used Visual Basic 2005 Express edition for the development. As you may already be knowing this is a windows forms application. The whenever a button is pressed the respective BB code gets generated and is copied to the clipboard thats the logic. There is no third party tools used. All the components used are inbuilt in VS 2005 express edition.

[Batistabomb]

great charan and gigacore

Thanks, i had the idea of that. Shouldnt be difficult enough. I know VB 6....no idea of Visual Basic 2005 though .

IS the Tray Menu, Tray Notification, all that stuff easy to do in VB 2005 ? :)

[Charan]

Thanks, i had the idea of that. Shouldnt be difficult enough. I know VB 6....no idea of Visual Basic 2005 though .

IS the Tray Menu, Tray Notification, all that stuff easy to do in VB 2005 ? :)

Yes its absolutely easy to do all these stuff..

Just add the Tray Notification component into the form and select a icon,

Add a Context menu into the project, edit the list in that and link it to the notify icon and its done.. i.e., you will get a right click menu for the notify icon ;)

[Cyrus_the_virus]

[Lucky_star]

Gigacore, this time, its working well...

Why don't you make it online?? I mean, a browser window opens in which all the smilies are present. On clicking anyone of it, the same work is done. This way, a user can access the smilies from anywhere and you can make it platform independent.

[Gigacore]

[Harvik780]

Gr8 work Giga keep it up.

[Cyrus_the_virus]

I don't see a reason why the program should be using 2-5% of processor usage even when idle? Could you please fix this in the next version?

[Gigacore]

^ thanks..

@ gautham.. lets see

[Charan]

I don't see a reason why the program should be using 2-5% of processor usage even when idle? Could you please fix this in the next version?
What do you mean by idle? minimized?

[MetalheadGautham]

^ thanks..

@ gautham.. lets see

kya yaar... google pages me das pics add karne aur comments likhke format karne aur publish changes button press karne das ghante lagte hai kya?

PS: use#1: http://forum.doom9.org/images/smilies/withstupid.gif

[Gigacore]

oh.. i'll do it.. just because i made this as a yahoo edition.. so will add at the end later.. bit busy now

[faraaz]

I think he means tray...

[Cyrus_the_virus]

What do you mean by idle? minimized?
I mean when It's minimized to the tray and when you don't use it at all. It take up a good 5% of processor usage.

And also, if you try to shutdown the system without exiting out of the program, the computer is not able to end task it and I have to manually either exit before shutting down or end task the processing when it's stuck at that screen during shutdown. I hope this feedback is useful

Thank you. I will check this out.

I have checked with minimize to tray and it doesnot use any CPU. I checked this with both vista as well as in XP , if you can then please provide a screen shot of the taskmanager with Gigasmilies running in tray mode.

[Gigacore]

Yup.. even i havent seen any CPU usage in tray mode or in idle...

still we will look at it as charan said..

if u are not happy u can use the new WebVersion for now

[Cyrus_the_virus]

if u are not happy u can use the new WebVersion for now
come on man, who said I'm not happy?

I use a prescott, so even a 1% increase is like revving up a 1000cc bike http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/10.gif

Start a new thread... And update your first thread alone.let it be a centralised thread...i saw two thread one for windows and another for linux...
Just a request

[fun2sh]

ooooh i missed this thread completely.http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/59.gif


but I LIKE IT I LIKE I LIKE I IT.
GREAT WORK DUDE!!
http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/yes.gif

[Gigacore]

^ thanks..

@ naveen.. ok will create a dedicated thread soon

[blackpearl]

Is your software open source? I mean I want to do some modification. I want the BBCodes to be replaced by proper HTML codes so that I can use the smilies in my blog. I also want to transfer the smilies to my own server.

Atleast you can make a HTML code version. What do you say?

[Gigacore]

^ nope sorry.. i am working on it..

read last few lines of first post

[phreak0ut]

@Giga and @Charan-Great work......... again http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/113.gif One question. I find 6 new emoticons which is not available on Yahoo Messenger. Those being, "Don't want to see", "Rock On","Hurry up","Thumbs down","Wasn't me" and "Thumbs up". Also, what about the "Bee" emot? I'm using ver 8.1.0.421. Like Cyrus pointed out, the CPU usage (http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/9629/gigasmilehg7.png)
is quite high on my system as well. Especially in full mode. Could you please check out that issue?

[Gigacore]

@Giga and @Charan-Great work......... again http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/113.gif

One question. I find 6 new emoticons which is not available on Yahoo Messenger. Those being, "Don't want to see", "Rock On","Hurry up","Thumbs down","Wasn't me" and "Thumbs up". Also, what about the "Bee" emot? I'm using ver 8.1.0.421.

U can see those smilies in 9 Beta... some call its hidden smilies in 8.. not sure.. any.. link here (http://messenger.yahoo.com/hiddenemoticons.php)

Like Cyrus pointed out, the CPU usage (http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/9629/gigasmilehg7.png)
is quite high on my system as well. Especially in full mode. Could you please check out that issue?

1. Coz this is a .NET app.
2. All the smilies animate at once.. which makes further slow.. (only if u r on low speed processor.. u will feel the lag)
3. I recommend u to use tray mode. Coz smilies are branched out in the menu.. less smilies animate at once so less CPU usage.
4. We are working on this issue.. if u still feel its not ok. u can try and use WebVersion. (http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/index.htm) (Specially made for Linux and MAC users)

[Quiz_Master]

Same as blackpearl suggested... can u include the functionality to generate html codes so we can use those smilies on our blogs.

Nice thing u r doing there.

[phreak0ut]

@Giga-Thanks for clearing out the doubt regarding the CPU usage. I'm using in tray mode now. Installed Y! messenger 9 beta. Those extra smilies are available only on the latest version and is not part of the hidden smilies shown on the yahoo page.

[MetalheadGautham]

put my smilies yet?:p
I can give you more if you are intrested...

[Charan]

Guys Gigasmilies 1.1b runs on Suse Linux 10.3 http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/4.gif ..

Make sure you have mono installed in your system. My suse installation has mono version 1.2.5 installed. I am trying to get Gigasmilies up and running in Ubuntu Gusty and Fedora 8 http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/12.gif still no luck http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/46.gif

How to run:
Open terminal and use the following command.


mono GigaSmilies\ v1.1b.exe
http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/3203/screenshotlt1.th.jpg (http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotlt1.jpg)

Know issues with Suse 10.3
1. Gif's are not animated. http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/2.gif
2. In tray mode the menus expand outside the visible area which makes tray mode un-usable http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/12.gif
3. Restoring from tray mode to full mode make the button look disabled ( looks gray scale ) .. but hovering the cursor over the buttons make the color reappear.

[azzu]

one moore thing Guys why cant u make A smiley Animate when the Curser moves over it this will surely reduce the LAG or high CPU usage for old age computer people like me

[Charan]

one moore thing Guys why cant u make A smiley Animate when the Curser moves over it this will surely reduce the LAG or high CPU usage for old age computer people like me

[Gigacore]

[adi007]

i must say http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/77.gif
suggestionhttp://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/58.gif:create a link called as copy and when the user clicks it make the url automatically go to clipboard..http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/yes.gif
Ex:MSDN documentation..

Exactly. It'll be more convenient and easy to search. Ask moderators to merge your other "GigaSmilies" threads into one and then update the first post whenever you make some changes and post about it in the thread (Bump the thread), so that we all can know about it. ;)
