Halo Updating Desktop System.

Sion · Post by **Sion** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 10:07 am

I have decided to run a halo updating wallpaper system.

How does this work?
You put a certain html file as your desktop wallpaper. This file loads an iframe which is on a CL Database. Everytime one member of CL wants to update, they can update by changing a certain file, in the CL Database.

Does this slow my PC down?
By a miner Fraction. It does not take any on screen memory
This project would work on a 2mhz machine.

What Internet Connection do I need?
I recommend anything higher than 56K, otherwise it will show a White Screen for around 10 seconds, While it loads images and text. 155K is good, 300K [what I am using] Is nice.

Why do my icons have funny backgrounds on the text?
This is because your desktop icons don't know what colour to load. They are steps on the html file, also in the read me of what to do to get your icons looking neat. Also heres a tip: Less icons, faster your PC is because your PC isn't looking for a whole bunch of targets everytime you minimise.

Where can I view screen shots?
Right here:

1600x1200 Preview
1280x1024 PreviewNEW*
1024x768 Preview

The Original was designed for: 1280x1024 (NOT recommended for any lower)

Where can I download!
Right below.

If you would like a certain form of size that isn't in the package, Contact me or edit the HTML in notepad or something. Cheers.

DOWNLOAD NOW!
(If download doesn't work. Reply and I will reload to another server)

Okay, if you were smart to notice, one image out of the 3 was not Sion's...one desktop image out of the 3 was mine...lol anywayz, yeah...sion worked hard on this, and in my opinion, i think it's a very clever idea...you can see the latest updates of the site, rather than bothering to open IE...just a little quickie you can refer to...

Anywayz, I like it

Update is going to go down, and re open soon as another version of the system is out, with more graphics.. This possibly will be midday Sunday!
