Description
EDIT: I have hit a little speedbump and release has been delayed slightly. But it's all to make it as friendly as possible to the end users.As the title says, a preview of Superbar 1.0.
In this preview you'll probably notice a few new things like twitter, the wifi monitor and the battery monitor.
OK, now, some I have two questions to all of you, the first is a little more pointed at people using this theme but anyone feel free to answer.
--1--
As you can probably see the dropdowns in the upper part have a different background than the two at the bottom.
The bottom ones have a background i have been experimenting with for a few reasons;
-I know at least some people who use this theme actually started using the second background left in the files
-The new one will work fine no matter how wide your screen is
-With the old background if you had a primary monitor with a resolution lower than 1980 in width and had a secondary monitor to it's right the background would continue on to that
EDIT: (I just noticed it wasn't very noticeable in the preview but both the backgrounds have a certain transparency but my current wallpaper made that hard to see.)
So what I want to know is, which one is better? Which should I use as default in 1.0?
Feel free to post suggestion for a background if you have, darker, brighter and so on.
--2--
Does anyone know any web service that can contact a pop3 server and give you a list of your mails in a rss feed? I found some, but they were all dead in one way or another and could not be used.
----
And a last note.
Superbar 1.0 will be released Monday or Wednesday depending on the response I get on the background

Well they both are kinda transparent
Looks like top one will be used for 1.0 but i am looking into adding the ability to choose for a future update

I prefer the first background as well. Will there be any future versions. I would like to see weather and a bit torrent client like ConstantVelocity CV SuperBar had (wish she continued with hers). She did recommend yours though. I'm looking forward to trying yours out when it is released.

The first will be used, SplashTK offered to make it in more resolutions so that kinda solves my problems.
I will of course continue supporting this, fixing any bugs and possibly adding new configs and features.
I might take a look at making configs for uTorrent and maybe weather, the thing with weather is that I would need a lot of different icons and i am not a graphical artist by any means ^^ also there arnt really any weather hosts to use that support my local area so kinda puts me of from creating a weather config but i might look in to it

Leonick In reply to DaShizNick08 [2010-10-11 13:16:11 +0000 UTC]
It should work just fine on 1920x1080.
What is it that your having trouble with?

im not having trouble with yours i was just asking that cause i have a lot of skins that i can't use cause of the aspect ratio being limited. Thanks

Hmm, like for example what? I mean i can think of a few that have everything in one big config and that can couse problems when used on resolutions there arnt made on and there isnt much you can do, but most skin suites are made up of smaller parts that are easy to move around.
The best thing you can do is ask the creator to fix it

I can make the 1st background in multiple resolutions if you require it. Let me know what resolutions you need and I can add them.

That would be great... There are a few that I could use.
1680 wide
1440 wide
Those two will cover many many screens found at home for people who haven't gotten a 16:9 screen this year.
1366 wide
1280 wide
Those two will cover most 12-14 inch laptops
Would be great if you could fix those 4

I personally think the first is better. The second one makes the icons look bland. While the first one gives it a certain appeal that makes it pop.

Hmm you might have point there... I am just so annoyed by it's inability to adjust to certain resolutions
Thanks for you comment
