How to embed the shoutbox to your desktop!

[Jkaay]

Hey guys,
as a few of you already know, I've spent the last 2 days working on a way to embed the shoutbox with an iframe to your desktop using a program called rainmeter and had no luck.
I finally decided it would be best to make this an application and build it with Visual Studio 2015 so I could release it here, which is a lot simpler than installing another program to be able to use it.

## Now updated to version 1.4 ##

Example:

Version 1.4 Change-Log:

• - Added system tray icon with options upon minimizing the application

Enjoy!

Current known bugs:

• Regularly clicking on the system tray icon will not restore chat. You must right click the icon and click restore chat, or click it in your taskbar.

Enjoy, and thanks for reading!

This is awesome. Is there a way to close the shoutbox or minimize it? Secondly will this work with out custom mcm theme? Finally, I'm not sure but, don't you need permission from Ajdin for this? I'm not sure I'm just wondering.

I removed the title bar so t he application couldn't be dragged to other parts of the screen, but you can close it by right clicking the MC-Market icon in your taskbar and clicking "Close Window" or close it manually from task manager.
This does work with your current MCM theme, but not with custom themes made with Stylebot. and I don't really see why I'd need permission from Bebos if the application is safe and it doesn't affect MCM's servers at all.

Thanks for letting me know.

I got warned in the past because I made a program that used your MCM login for authentication. It's in the rules somewhere for "putting users at risk" or something, I can't remember. My program was safe (I coded it, so I would know...), and I showed the code to ItsMonkey (which he also vouched for it on my thread) but the staff didn't give a damn.

Cool program regardless, looks nice, even though I'll never use it haha

Yeah, a while back I was planning on making a vouches site. a website revolved around vouches clearly and I was told by a staff member I needed the owners permission to use mcm for them to login.

This application doesn't collect data of logins, and the application is basically just an internet explorer page with this link: http://www.mc-market.org/chat/fullpage when you open it so it can't be endangering any of the users that login with it. But hopefully I don't get warned for it :/

That's what I said... "my login form is literally an internet web browser", but nooooo, screw the logic behind that; "there could be a keylogger running in the background for all I know"! "There could be alien life on mars for all I know." Anyways gl.

Maybe that's where Harambe is

Anyways, I really hope you guys enjoy using this, and all you have to do to have is functioning is launch the .exe file included in the zip archive and re-login to your MC-Market account. If you have 2FA on then you will have to confirm an email, but you should be permanently logged in if you tick the "Stay logged in" box.

Current known bugs:

• Links open within the application and not a new tab of your default browser.

Credits to Ansett for helping me before I found the solution to building the .exe file.

Enjoy, and thanks for reading!

Why would I made aids on my Desktop?!

Jk, this is amazing Good job.

Unfortunately due to a bug where you can't navigate to the chat page after the cloudflare page, I've had to enable navigation and re-update the application to 1.2. I also took advantage to add some new features listed below. Thanks for reading guys
Change-Log:

• Fixed cloudflare redirection bug
• Made the chat resize-able, minimize-able and closeable.
• Removed the pointless scrollbar to the far left

To-Do list:

• Make the application based on your default web browser
• Make all links open in a new tab of your default web browser.

Download is attached below and in the OP. :>

Don't you mean scroll bar to the far right?

 

[lAkjtzAZ0]

This looks neat, but since when do you code?

Eh. Not really much coding here. Not trying to hate on op, but he just put a browser form control onto a form and made it navigate to the chat box. It's cool though

 

[Jkaay]

Don't you mean scroll bar to the far right?

Yup, removed that. But if you accidentally click an MCM link you won't be able to scroll throughout the page

This looks neat, but since when do you code?

Thanks, and like lAkjtzAZ0 mentioned, this doesn't really involve much coding, but I did have to do a lot of that with html before I found out I could do it from visual studio xD.

 

[lAkjtzAZ0]

He did figure out how to use Visual Studio though, which in itself is impressive for a non-coder.

True. I spent about 2 days trying to learn how to even navigate the damn program when i first started using it :rofl:

He had help from Ansett which I am pretty sure he codes.
