[rel] Gmail Notifier Plus for Windows 7

[daty2k1]

Well if you can make something that's readable and good looking with a 16x16 pixels icon then I'll gladly include it :D

Also 2.0.2 is out already (sorry Rob :blush:) as there were 2 annoying bugs in 2.0.1.

Thanks again :p

Love this app but can't set it up!

Laptop is outputting to my TV at 1920x1080p and the configure screen is split into two. The input fields are not available. If you don't know what I mean I can take a screenshot and update my posting.

Keep up the great work!

Updated with version 2.0.2! Fixed two nasty bugs that slipped in version 2.0.1. Thanks Shasoosh :)

Change log for 2.0.2:

[Fixed] Custom sound location was not saved properly when your settings file was originally created by version 1.2 or below

[Fixed] Settings window sometimes failed to open properly

Change log for 2.0.1:

[New] The application is now available in 12 languages: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. Thanks to all translators!

[Fixed] Crash when you receive a mail with no subject

[Fixed] Overlay icon was not restored after explorer.exe crashes

[Fixed] Custom sound selection dialog would appear when re opening the settings window if no sound was selected

Change log for 2.0:

[New] Multiple accounts support A default account can now be set. It will be used when clicking on "Compose mail" or "Go to your inbox"

[New] Customizable sound notification

[New] Removed glass effect from mail preview for more usability

[New] Supporting up to 99 mails

[New] Switched to the recently released Windows 7 Code Pack v1.0 (Windows 7 specific features should be more stable)

[Fixed] Crash when moving to the next mail when there are more than 20 mails

[Fixed] Automatic login not working when password contains special characters

[Fixed] Crash when settings were transferred from another machine

I removed the Spanish translation for now as I'll need to have new text translated.

For everyone who wanted to help with the translations, you can use this file. Just send it back to notifierplus at gmail dot com stating for which language it is :)

Here's the list of translations I received so far:

- Japanese by wwwcfe

- German by Ufuk Yilmaz

- Dutch by Enzo Lima

- Spanish by Sergio Portillo

- Swedish by J.D.

- Traditional Chinese by L.H.O.O.Q.

- Simplified Chinese by idreamxis

- Russian by Кирилл Путинцев and Daniel Yermolchuck

- Polish by lgenio8

- Hungarian by Nagy Norbert

What's new in 1.2:

- Google Apps support

- Application will no longer appear first in alt-tab

- Fixed mail counter in preview when there are more than 99 unread messages

- Additional bug fixing

What's new in 1.1:

- Updated unread counter icon to make it clearer

- Added multi-language support: English, French and Spanish (thanks Demgel!) at the moment.

- Added automatic login to gmail when opening a message or the inbox

The Gmail icon used in this application was created by Chris Ivarson.

If the jump list is not working for you, make sure you have this option checked (thanks thehosh for figuring this out):

Feel free to report any bug you might encounter :)

[norseman]

It appears I needed to reboot. It now displays properly! The jump list was always working, great app!

Version 2.0.3 is out :whistle:

[info-gela]

Just a little tip for next version, you could add to app the feature that when Gmail Notifier Plus was closed by the user the account was closer(disconected) too. :)

Cheers,

Great work :) This is the first program I've come across that makes excellent use of the new Win7 taskbar.

My only suggestion, or feature request if you will, is that you add an option to reset the email count when the taskbar icon is clicked. Gmail Notifier (the Firefox plugin) has a similar feature and it's extremely useful.

Alternatively, since it handles multiple email accounts, the unread count could be reset for each individual account when that email account is clicked. For example, if I have two email accounts and each one has five unread emails, it initially shows a total of 10. Then when I click on account_1@gmail.com, it opens in a browser and the unread count goes to five. Then I click on account_2@gmail.com, it opens, and the unread count is now zero.

Thanks again :)

I've noticed that the newest CCleaner 2.23.993 (http://www.ccleaner.com) adds jump list cleanup, and when used, removes almost all functions of Gmail Notifier Plus when right clicking (go to inbox, check mail, etc.). I will also be reporting this to the creators of CCleaner.

Hey,

I like the idea of this program. Unfortunately, the icon in the Windows 7 task bar does not show the unread count, only the Gmail icon. Any ideas why? I have 2.0.3 installed on Win 7 RC 32-bit.

Thanks!

I realized that I have the task bar icons set to "small" (Taskbar and Start Menu Properties -> check Use small icons). Any way to get the unread count to display when the icons are small?

Thanks for the product and support!

Unfortunately, no :( Overlay icon is not supported in small icon mode. This is a limitation of the taskbar.

[Robbie G]

Booo Win 7! But thanks for the quick reply. Maybe you'll figure out how to flash the icon with new mail. :)

Just an idea:

I think it might be better if the overlay number will a little bigger than now.

I made a little mockup. (it might be color choice ability too)

Nice :) Does a 2 digits number fits in there?

Gmail Notifier Plus, Version=2.0.3.0

:wacko:

[Nathanael]

Just a simple suggestion: Could it be made that when we click again on the icon it could open the inbox or compose mail (as set in the preferences).

Otherwise it's perfect :D .

I had to make the font 1px smaller to 2 digits numbers fits there, and now here's how it looks:

[Live!]

The aktuall circle is much nicer that nyolc8's...

I'm sorry ;)

[ToneKnee]

Is it possible to make it only an icon when I have 'Never Combined' enabled? I really want to use it but I don't want it using taskbar space. :(

[nero78]

Can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease make the unread messages number bigger???? I cant see it!

[idreamxis]

I Love This Software~I Love Gmail~

[callummr]

I've just switched my email back to Gmail, and this is a fantastic app. Thanks a lot :)

[r4b]

I just changed my Gmail password, now I can't access the settings window to change it for the app. I click on the 'Change settings' link but nothing happens. I'm using 2.0.3
