10.06.00 – 16.06.00
Kinda of a lite issue this week, but that’s done on purpose as I
have a million other little side projects going atm. Most of the
sections that are gone this week will be back again next week as I will
have some time. I have added in a new feature that I would like to get
some responses to, a Mailbag. This weeks question is: What is the
worst module you have ever used, and why? Mail all replies to
demigod@meganet.net
This week I am going to thank a bunch of people who helped me
get to this point with the newsletter.
- Yaso for registering the domain, doing the basic layout, and the gfx.
- Bryan for hosting my mailing list and putting up with my crap about
the shell.
- mrG for the xsweekly button, and various layout ideas.
- Fahim for standing by me and giving me support when I needed it most.
- Everyone who wrote in to support me during my down period with
LSWeekly.
- Adam for hosting me for nothing and putting up with my crap.
- My work for hosting my domain for nothing.
- The coders for the various shells and os’s.
- My girlfriend and daughter for all their love and support.
- Mike for listening to me complain about slow d/l speeds.
- And everyone else I forgot, there are too many to name.
Thanks a lot, without you, XSWeekly would never have become a
reality. Here’s hopping that I can continue to bring this letter to
this part of the net.

- LsICQ 0.1 ~ Ender (10:33 13.06 ls)
“Ender of easycuts and PureLS has just released a new module
which is essentially a miniature version of ICQ (ie. it’s a
new ICQ client). At this point all of its functionality is in
its !bang commands, but Ender plans on including a contact
list, etc. Let him know how you’d like the contact list to be
implemented.”

- lsplaylist 20000614 ~ MrJukes (10:36 13.06 ls)
“The Module Man, MrJukes, has put out a new module which is
essentially an mp3 player as a loadmodule that he calls
lsplaylist. He’s also included an .exe which he calls playback.
The module has all the standard mp3 player functions, all
wrapped up into a loadmodule. The app is skinnable, so he’s
hoping that we’ll get as many skinners as possible to put out
some skins for playback.
%%Update%% (11:12 15.00)
- Added skinning support to the playlist on the main window.
You can now move it around like the rest of the buttons.
More details in skinning-readme.txt.
- To get the fake winamp support working to display the
currently playing song put FakeWinamp=1 in your [Main]
section of lsplaylist.cfg
- Added anchoring to the buttons. This will associate a
button with a side. To use anchoring, click the edit layout
button, then right click on the button you want to set the
anchor for. The properties dialog doesn’t work yet but it
will soon.
- Added support so you can use those modules that display the
title of the currently playing song.
- Fixed it so that the New Tracks Window pops up when a new
mp3 is created anywhere in the watched directory structure.
- Added skinning support the progress bar. Check the
skinning readme for further details.
- If you hold down control and use the arrow keys in Layout
Edit Mode you can now resize a button on the fly.
- Fixed the pause between songs.

- Sentry 1.0 ~ TrOgI (11:18 15.06 ls)
“TrOgI, author of the popular and useful dwarf wharf
replacement, has released a new analog clock module he calls
“Sentry”. It’s very customizable, supports Magic Pink ™
transparency, shows the date (with the customizability of
LSXCommand :), and supports dragging. If you want something
other than the popular Chronos or LSXCommandClock digital
clocks and you don’t want to have to load up a wharf just to
run alsclock or the like, then this new loadmodule is your best
choice.”

“First theme. First release. First time for everything? Nearly

by KanedA and the graphics were mercilessly taken from a
windowblinds theme called MaxD by Johanne Chain・ Still, the
popup’s all mine.
“It might take up a bit too much room for some of you but give
it a try anyway.
“Enjoy!”
