This is a teaser. Can't tell you what it is or fully what it does yet, but if you like the screenshot, stay tuned to this thread! ^.^

Ooh, sounds intriguing.

[MBF]

That it does...Is it also set up where we get notifications of new PM's?

[pockycrusader]

MBF, do you really *need* a PM notification on your desktop?

Could be. Possibilities limitless

More screenies ^.^

Would you rather find out about problems once you log onto the site? I personally find it a useful tool for mods and admins

This is very beta. I don't know if it will work on other systems, please help make this usable, hehe.

v0.5.1
Requirements:

.NET Framework v2.0 (Todo: download+install it for user if they don't have it)
Windows (duh)
Other stuff, probably.

Features:

Save login
Automatic update (when we release a new version, it will download and update automatically (hopefully!)
Request Manager (Delete your current requests)
Request status (updates every 5 min (todo: user adjustable option)

This is pre-release software. We are not responcible if your computer catchs fire and your cat kills you. If you do not like helping beta test new applications, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS.

If you are okay with the fact this may not work, you can download and install here:
http://kawaii-radio.net/~zefie/beta/krsetup.exe

Edit:
v0.5.2

Added PM notifications.

v0.5.3

Fixed grammar in PM notifications.
Application will no longer run more than one instance
Added admin stuff (and for the hackers, hacking won't get you in )

To get the latest version, you do not need to download the installer again. The application will automatically update.

All feedback is appreciated.

[pockycrusader]

Actually, MBF, I don't get as many PM's as you do about problems and whatnot.

[linmingru]

Whao.

Maybe there should be a live clock on the request page to tell you how much time you'll have to wait for the song, so you would request when it will come on faster.

Perhaps when I get around to adding user options I will add an "notify me when there are less than <#> songs in queue" option.

Plans for v0.5.4:
Enhance admin tools (hope I remember what I mean by this tomorrow, lol)
Enable resizing on dialogs
Prevent dialogs from launching multiple copies of themselves

Edit:
v0.5.4 released with above changes.

Edit 2:
Sorry! v0.5.4.1 released with bugfix where titles and albums were reversed in queue manager and admin tools.

Edit 3:
v0.5.5 released.
Features:

Auto silent update while running. No longer need to close/reopen to trigger update
Typos
Small code optimizations
Remain time in admin queue ^.^
Most errors will show up as a balloon instead of annoying alert.
Added "kawaii-radio" menu for easy access to site/forum/requests
User Pereferences. Okay, one preference for now, but the option is there.
Easter eggs? Maybe...

You may want to tweak the PM notifier because its giving me false readings atm i.e. not having any messages in the pm inbox when it says there are unread messages

That is not possible, based on the backend. The same part of phpbb that tells you on the main page that you have a new PM is used in the notifier.

I will look into it though...

P.S. There is a rare chance that a user sent you a PM, then deleted it from the Outbox, this may cause some confusion.

Edit:
This has been addressed in v0.5.7

Nope... From what I can tell from the screenshot. and how .NET framework is required. You've integrated it too much with windows... (heck, That's the whole point of .net framework... ) and from what i can tell from the screenshots. you've used to many nt windows calls, so it won't even work with wine.

If i had more time i'd ask for the source to see if i can pull togeather a c/java version to recompile but... no... ><

Well, what I really meant by that was 'other people's computers'. I know it is Win32 only at this point.

It would be nice if the program would detect if .NET framework is installed, and install it if it isn't, in the same way that a program would install the latest version of direct x if it saw that it wasn't installed.
