AdesClrPicker

I have recently finished one very interesting program which was ordered by Ades. This program is very useful for web designers or any other kind of designers. The main purpose of it is to capture colors anywhere on the screen and store them in either HTML or RGB color codes. You can read more detailed description, see more screenshots and download the demo from here.
I will be tremendously appreciated for those who will leave any suggestions, critics etc. here in the comments.

PS: very soon new version will be released so stay tuned!

Very busy

Hello everyone! Sorry that I didn’t wrote any post during such a long period! The reason is that I have found a job and trying to pass probation period. Therefore I am busy almost all the day and when I am coming back home at the evening I am trying to rest. I have only one weekend in the week . That’s horrible! Also, I need to write my graduation paper. So, I am very, very busy! But I promise that very soon the situation will change to the best side!!! The reasons are:

• I think I’ll left this job very soon because I don’t like it;
• I’ll write my graduation paper and will try to find a much better(I mean more interesting) job than I have found recently;
• I have finished one very useful project and I am going to tell how realized some parts of it.

 And also I’ll share some very interesting links with you. See you soon!

UI

Today I have found a very interesting link http://www.activewin.com/reviews/previews/office12/. I have read about new features of the MS Office 12 and have seen some screen shots before. But this article contain more screen shots than I have seen before. I am looking at those screen shots and thinking: “It would be incredibly GREAT if all programmers were trying to make such a brilliant and fancy UI in there own programs like MS do! Eh…”

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Wish all the best to all!

See soon.

Innovations in Delphi 2006

I didn’t create new posts for some period because I was little busy. But now I have some free time and I decided to use it for writing this post. As you guessed from the title this post is about innovations in Delphi 2006.
Browsing the Internet I have found many interesting posts about Delphi 2006. But all this posts are located on different sites. Since I still don’t have Delphi 2006 I can forgot some of the new features as I can’t test them immediately after reading about them. So I made a decision to collect links on the most interesting posts and read those posts again after receiving Delphi 2006. I also decided to share those links with you. So, let’s begin …

Creating a new component package in Delphi 2005 (Win32)

I am finding on forums question about "How to install a new component in Delphi 2005?" very often. The reason of this question is that in Delphi 2005 the main menu item "Install component" was removed.
I have found a simple step by step tutorial which explains how to do this. Now I am sharing this tutorial with you.
