http://squareness.beeger.net/ en-us Copyright 2007 Fri, 08 Dec 2006 20:01:27 +0100 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss I have installed Internet Explorer 7 RC1 on my WinXP box and found that the menus on this site didn't work right with it. IE 7 now interprets child selectors. So the selector that was formally meant to be read by Firefox and Opera is now also read by IE. Unfortunately the `top:auto;left:auto` statements are interpreted differently by IE 7. So now I dropped the child selector and the auto-statements and now the menus look like they looked in IE 6 in all browsers. It's not that bad. They overlap the menubar items a bit now, but that's OK. At least it works on all major browsers now. http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2006/09/adapted_for_internet_explorer.html http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2006/09/adapted_for_internet_explorer.html General Sat, 30 Sep 2006 18:09:04 +0100 I'm hosting the Squareness site now on my own domain. It's way faster than SourceForge and here I can use MovableType which I prefer over WordPress. Static publishing which is supported perfectly by MovableType is faster than WordPress' dynamic publishing. All old page addresses are now redirected to the new site. Only for the RSS2 feed I wasn't able to formulate a working rewrite rule. So you'll have to add the new feed manually to your news reader. Since now there is a filtered representation of the DevBlog for each part of Squareness there are now also feeds for those parts. Take a look at [News Feeds][1] for a complete list of available feeds. [1]: http://squareness.beeger.net/feeds.html You'll notice that the site design has also changed with the move to the new domain. It now looks and feels like Squareness. You'll probably also notice that the tabs on those pages have now a new background color. I came up with that color as I developed the skin for ShapeShifter -- a MacOSX theme changer. This new background color will be included in all Squareness skins as the time goes by. The WindowBlinds skin will make the start later this week. http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2006/09/new_server.html http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2006/09/new_server.html General News Sun, 10 Sep 2006 21:24:40 +0100 I've added a Development Blog to this site. On this blog I'll post all kinds of information and progress reports about the development of all the different skins and tool around Squareness. The blogging software I'm using here is Wordpress. The theme is mostly done. There are some rough edges left that will be fixed soon. http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2005/12/devblog.html http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2005/12/devblog.html General News Wed, 21 Dec 2005 12:00:00 +0100 The Progress Bar in the Squareness skins is going to get a slight change in the next releases of the Windowblinds skin and the Java Look And Feel. The Progress Bar was originally designed when Windowblinds didn’t have the “Progress Bar XP” feature and painted a beveled border around it. Now that Squareness uses that feature the Progress Bar has a flat look and somehow the gap between the progress bar chunk and the progress bar border doesn’t look all that good anymore. I have removed those gaps some months ago from my local version of Squareness for Windowblinds and after having tested it for months now I really think it’s an improvement. http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2005/12/progress_bar_changes.html http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2005/12/progress_bar_changes.html General Wed, 21 Dec 2005 10:21:10 +0100 In this blog I’ll post all kinds of informations and rant about the development of the different subprojects of Squareness. You’ll get informations about changes and new features long before they are released (or even implemented.) http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2005/12/squareness_devblog_starts.html http://squareness.beeger.net/archives/2005/12/squareness_devblog_starts.html General Tue, 20 Dec 2005 10:20:00 +0100 I've redesigned part of the website. The front page changed the most - you'll see all the news concerning Squareness on this page. I'm also planning to add a developer diary later, so you'll see what happens between the updates. Also new is the website generator used. Till now I was using Forrest, but that became too tedious. Now I'm using [fmpp][1], which is much more straight forward.
