ricktendo Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Glass Toasts by Andreas Verhoeven (AndreasV)Info: GlassToasts replaces the "ugly" WindowsXP/Vista style balloon notifications with the Beta 1 style glassy toasts: With this application the balloons in Vista will also have an aero glass look.MD5: 800903EDEC17B33564AABF91D7FEFFACSize: 246 KBWebsite: http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/vista/Known Issues:1- If the application is running and you uninstall it explorer will crash (fix this by closing the app b4 uninstall)2- I find the following switches do not work for me under Windows XP (hopefully I can get an updated version with these fixed)"-auto" will start the glass toasts directly without showing a dialog."-show" will show the dialog of a previously started GlassToast.exe"-stop" will stop a previously started GlassToast.exe procedure. The application remains active"-kill" will stop all previously started GlassToast.exe and unload them from memory. Quote
runningfool Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 very impressive...now if someone could reshack this into the windows file responsible for baloon notifications (avoiding the need for a separate process), id be on board Quote

MrNxDmX Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 very impressive...now if someone could reshack this into the windows file responsible for baloon notifications (avoiding the need for a separate process), id be on board Umm thats a great idea :thumbsup_anim: I'm not sure if tis doable. But i wish so. Quote
Gorki Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Umm thats a great idea :thumbsup_anim: I'm not sure if tis doable. But i wish so.Maybe this could help reducing app memory consumption since it uses almost 7mb of ram for normal operation... Anyone dare to do this? :sweatingbullets: Quote
^SoKoOLz^ Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Hmm 7MB.. I don't think so.. there's no way to reduce it. Unless someone can optimize the theme. Quote
WolfX2 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 if ya can ever find ones more like the originalsi'll jump on board but very nice rick, thanks Quote
ScOOt3r Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Great work Rick,, thanks for thisScOOt3r Quote
KsbjA Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Thanks! Now I'm wondering, where did the new style clock, the glassy balloon tips (toasts), etc. disappear in Vista. Alphas (Longhorn builds), Betas, RCs etc. had them, but Microsoft removed them. Weirdos... Thanks Rick, great, great addon! Quote
Lolkik Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Nice proggie. Nice addon, thanks.Too bad it doesn't match my Royale. Quote
qwesta Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 hi Rick,is it possible to make the "frame"(size) of this display somewhat small..I feel the toast is too big when it displays the window.Thank you Quote
tamilcheetas Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) nice one rick... thanks Edited July 14, 2008 by tamilcheetas Quote
JurgenDoe Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Huiii this looks very nice but for Vista I don't need it anymore Quote
