Fancy a new free jQuery plugin for displaying modal boxes? Well we have come across a great new tool called leanModal. LeanModal is very lightweight and doesnt use any images.
The width and height of the modal box is flexible and adjusts itself according to the content.
So if you are looking for a plugin to display anything but images the leanModal is for you.
If you havent received your Google+ invite yet, then here is the best thing we can offer, the Google+ Theme for Chrome.
Ok. Well it’s not as good as an invite, but it is the best we have found so far. The theme itself is actually not great! The Google+ theme for Chrome is an unofficial version and this is why it looks like it hasnt been finished completely.
Anyways, if you want to check out the theme for yourself, then you can head over to their the download page here.
Microsoft has just launched the second preview for their IE10. Internet Explorer 10 is a solid upgrade from IE9, but there arent too many aesthetic changes.
IE10 supports CSS3 Positioned Floats, HTML5 Drag-drop, File Reader API, Media Query, Listeners and initial support for HTML5 Forms.
IE10 will only work on Windows 7, so you will need to upgrade if you are still running Vista or XP.
Fences found here is a simple program that you download and install and then your desktop looks brand new. Fences allows you to make boxes on your desktop to organize you files and folders. You can label each box and make it as big or as small as you would like. It also has a couple prebuilt boxes so if you don’t wanna make a design it will do it for you. Another cool features is that if anything ever happens to your desktop you could restore it if you saved it prior. It does any auto save before fences is installed. One way it helps you is if you double click on your desktop it will hide all the icons and boxes. You can choose which boxes/files you do and don’t wanna hide. The last neat feature is that you can change the color of the boxes and even the transparency. All in all if you desktop is messy your gonna want this. There is a free version and a paid but I am fine with the free version since the paid doesn’t offer much else.
A few months ago Orman Clark released a very sexy music player interface with download options. Now, it has been coded into a cool HTML5 Music Player in jQuery for us. The user interface is very clean and easy to use. You can also check out other HTML5 Music and Audio Solutions for jQuery we have mentioned before.
Even though Microsoft have built a very nice way to control and download more Windows 7 themes it seems like that just wasnt enough. Theme Manager for Windows 7 is an awesome freeware tool which gets you access to 100s of high quality Windows 7 themes.
The theme manager provides you with these benefits:
Onlive is a service that provides games to you instantly. Just like when you watch a video on YouTube well Onlive is the same thing and is just as quick. Onlive streams games to you and you get to play them instantly. They currently have 100 games and more coming. Also just like xbox live there are accounts, friends, and even voice chat but if that isn’t enough Onlive 1up xbox live and added an Arena the Arena is a place where you can watch anyone play any game. You can watch your friends or before you buy a game you can watch someone else play it and can Cheer them on with the cheer button or Jeer them (the opposite of Cheer) with the Jeer button.
One of the best things about onlive is that when a new game comes out you get it instantly. Instead of going to the store and buying it you preorder the game on onlive and at 12:00 you can start playing. They have alot of promo codes going on too. Basically if you preorder this new game you get a micro console. O’ Wait I forgot to mention that you can play Onlive on there own consle which is about the size of a glasses case, or you can play on your computer or on your ipad. They are also making controllers that will work with the ipad and computer so you have a controller to use. Now the bad part; if you Internet speed is below 3-5 the games will be laggy and it will be really hard to play but that about the only bad part. So as long as you have a really fast Internet speed you are fine. Now one of my favorite things about Onlive is there is no need to update a game. If a game is updated they update it and you never even know there was an update. As for games go they have a couple of good games and are coming out with alot more. They have Home front out which is really great because they offer 32 players in one game. Overall its a good thing to have and all the games have demos so even if you just try Onlive you will see its worth it.
