I liked the application so much that I thought it was worth a post…it is a real shame to see the developer throwing in the towel on it.

Looks like something that I changed had messed up the CyberMark button…it is fixed now. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for the publish, wasn’t quite sure if that was post-worthy. I really like the program and it’s come a long way but a few critical bugs -crashing whenever a full screen app is launched, as well as randomly freezing every now and then keep me from using it regularly. Cross your fingers that someone continues the program

Also, currently your site’s [Cybermark] button is cybermarking posts, but not doing the transition to the “cybermarked” confirmation. I guess this may just be my cache or something.

yeah, real shame because it still has several critical bugs that stop me using it (hanging etc.). was planning on making this a staple on our network. looked doable. shame

Even though Vista doesn't have the cool effects, I think the graphical presentation backend will allow developers to create some amazing looking applications. Microsoft's RSS reader that they build is a demonstration of what can be done. The applications that add the cool effects will probably start popping up when more and more computers are Aero compatible, which for some people to upgrade could take around a year or two. By that time we should start seeing more Aero-only applications that are a little more mind boggling.

True that Ryan. And speaking of this I think the next major Windows version (successor to Vista) should have better graphical effects like Expose and the Linux XGL stuff i.e. see through windows and “spaces” for sure!
