Hello,

This is the first release of CnS Sidebar mainly for testing and to see what we can do with it but it is quite functional and includes some demo add-ins for you to play with and to give you some ideas for what you could create for it.

This is the sidebar in its current form:

The add-ins included are:

CnS Desktop 3D Clock created by hungryhounduk (its a must have ;) )

CnS Info:
sshot-18.png
Slide Show:
sshot-20.png
CnS Mini-Chat:

When the sidebar first loads you will see hungryhounduks clock pre-loaded at the top and if you want to add more simply go into the options screen and double click on any of the add-ins to add them to the bar. You can change the order of them by placing your mouse to the top-left of the add-ins on the sidebar then click/hold and drag them up or down to rearange them.

Loaded add-ins and the order in which they appear on the sidebar are automatically saved for the next time you run the sidebar.

If you have trouble displaying/using the CnS Info or Mini-Chat add-ins this maybe because you are using IE8 and to fix it you will need to run IE8 and goto the Codenstuff.com website, then press the compatibility view button to the right of the address bar. You may need to login again but once completed you should be able to use the add-ins without any problems.

Please let me know of any problems/errors or bugs you may find while using the sidebar.

Thank you cooll;

Excellent Codenstuff and it works like a dream :)

The Only issue i have is that it throws anException when i click the "Run at Startup" Button, that is due to a Permissions Error, and HOW do you remove the apps from the sidebar, or is that not an Option at the moment...

Hello,

Hmm the exception could be if your using Vista/7? because it adds startup code to the registry and you may need admin permissions or something :? you can remove from the side bar by double clicking the top left corner of the add-in, the same spot used to rearrange them.

Ill add a way for you to get codenstuff information soon cooll;

You need to make sure you choose the "Keep me logged in" option when logging into the site aswell otherwise it cant get your information.
