i-conized / News: Recent posts

Finally I got some time to play with iconized again. First of all source code is now available in GIT repo. Secondly I got some ideas to implement so stay tuned

Here is a new development/testing release with a few corrections:

- Partial fix of multi-monitor issue: i-conized could be moved across multiple monitors. (issue with inter-monitor edge sticking is still present). Also i-conized could be force to be displayed under cursor but double hotkey press (could be disabled in Settings)
- Added Clouds skins. 5 new skins with same shape but different colors. Thanks to Sergey С. for this art.... read more

New development release is available - r103.

Major change is redesigned settings dialog: now i-conized has common setting dialog with tree control to select sub-setting groups and view various information (build info, license, etc...)

This version is a quite stable (same as r100, I hope :) ) so you can really help to improve i-conized by using this version and reporting about any problems.

Some steps were performed toward portable version of i-conized (but they are not visible yet). ... read more

Latest stable version of i-conized (0.0.6) has reached 1000 downloads.

Looks like more and more people prefer my home work :)

Stay tuned!

Dear users of i-conized and the rest of the world!

Last two months I've made major improvements on development release line (currently r99 is the latest one) and I’d like to invite you into deep testing of that release(s) to make i-conized more stable and useful.

Here is the short list of major changes I made last two month:

- Desktop cells became sizable.
- New skin selector with list of installed skins and preview panel.
- Sticking cells on screen border and autohiding behind the screen edge.
- Initial support of unmodified AltDesk skins (buttons are not used… and not supposed to be used)
- Improved quality of icons and different sizes of icons (currently Small and Big)
- New format for skins with full support of transparency of skin images.
- Several new unique skins upcoming (currently two skins, AeroSoft and AeroSoftSmall, are bundled)... read more

New development/testing release with small improvements:

- new skin AeroSoftSmall (designed for small icons)
- Minimal cell size from skin is now can be specified in skin descriptor (for skins in new XML forman, not for INI-based skins)
- Fix for 2101604 "Window size is not restored"

New development/testing release with small feature:
i-conized window is totally hidden if VW is disabled.

Here is another development release with small bug fix:
- Hotkey is now works when cells are hidden with autohide feature
- Possible fix of startup issue (I got some reports that sometimes VW could load i-conized when Windows starts)

i-conized v0.0.4 is for VirtuaWin 4.x only

i-conized module has been ported on VW-4.x SDK.

It is the same as i-conized v0.0.3 but works on VW-4.0beta3

New version of i-conized is released.
It is small-correction release for VirtuaWin v3.2
It doesn't work with betas of VW4.0

New(1841731): Start with iconized cells in same location as when closed
Fix(1845089): activate window by clicking on icon
Fix(1851492): i-conized is trying to display help by F1 key press.

This version fixes stupid regression bug:
icons are not displayed properly if list of managed windows became empty.
