More Site Progress

More updates and changes to the site, including a more polished look while maintaining the old layout. The calendar should
now work for the most part as well. It doesn't yet list posts, but I'm working on it. After that I'll work on getting a comment
system together. Once I'm done working on getting the site to 100% I'll get the forums back up. I'll probably be going with the
new phpBB. Once I'm done with that, depending on how busy I am with work, I'll get back to work on finishing up X-Tray 2.0. I've
got some real nice changes in mind for it, so keep your fingers crossed.
It should all work on Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. Though Internet Explorer might be missing a few features compared to
others. As always I recommend you view the site in a more standards complaint browser such as Firefox, Opera, or Safari. If your on
Mac, and don't like Firefox, have you given Camino a whirl? It implements the Gecko rendering engine in a native OSX interface.

I've updated the style switcher located in the middle panel to function when you have javascript turned off. Not a big
change, but it's something that was bugging me. Most people won't notice a difference other than the fact that it now
actually saves your stylesheet change, an unfortuante bug on my part.
The contact form should be functional now as well, though it doesn't give you a confirmation page yet, the emails do get
sent to me, and I do read, and reply to all emails sent to me.
For those that are interested, I've uploaded the dev source code for the 2.0 work in progress. This is a complete rewrite
of the version 1.* source code. I have a whole new direction for the GUI which you will hopefully see in a week or two. The
code I've uploaded isn't actually functional yet as there is still much code to write, but it's up for those of you who wish
to take a look. You can download it here: X-Tray 2 Development Version
Site Updates In Progress

The site will be back up in full after some updates. As you can see I've put up a new design, and am in the process of adding
features back to the site. Everything else should be in it's typical place.
When it's done, the site will feature a working calender, and a blog featuring news updates for X-Tray and some other
little things I may work on. For now, it's pretty featureless, minus of course the theme changing which is located
by hovering over the center box. If it doesn't work in your browser yet ( and this goes for the whole site ) it will
when I'm done, so there is no use reporting it as an issue yet.
To-do List:
- Better Contrast and Readability
- Add Contact Page
- Calender Functionality
- Safari Compatability
- Etc

Interim Release

Well, I've been quite busy to say the least, but I managed to put together
an interim release for compatability with the latest X-Chat betas.
As I said 1.2 Final would be released as GPL, and although this isn't Final,
I felt that it would be wrong of me to not comply with my own promise, and as
such am releasing the source to this version, which is the same base source
code that was used with all previous versions ( with the slight addition of
some code from xchat itself, that was NOT used in prior versions ).
I was hoping to put out a full rewrite for 1.2 Final, but time has just not been on
my side.
I must note, that this version includes no other updates other than compatability with
the 2.6 branch. I have only one condition on your use of the source code, do not
berate me on how terrible it is. Other than that, you can use it to the full
extent that the GPL allows.

New Beta Release Today

By, Michael Hotaling
There have been ALOT of code revisions in this one.
Things that need testing are:
- Blinking Icons
- Away Menu (In right click menu)
- Auto away on minimize
- Unicode characters in away messages
- The config system most importantly needs to be scrutinized to the finest detail, PLEASE BEAK IT
Notes:
Because it is named differently you need to remove your
old xtray.dll as they WILL conflict. Try renaming your old config
files or deleting them, it should be backwards compatable but
I want to make sure I did not miss anything when I put it together.
It will default to your xchat config folder (I'm still working
on the option to save it where you want to).
Questions? Comments? Did I miss your feature request somewhere along the
line? Feel free to drop me an email or post it on the forums.
