Slideshow component now supports remote images
News components will only pop up one error the first time they fail, and not inform you of any further failures
Components can now be suspended/resumed
Restarting no longer necessary to change themes (themer V2 themes)
The program can be hidden/shown without restarting
Ghosts left over after uninstalling components should be gone
Notepad can now save text files
Multiple monitors not directly supported, but the application can now be undocked and moved
Many minor bugfixes to Slideshow, Notepad, Email Checker
Codename: Dashboard is, an application that resides at the side of your screen, similar to the "Sidebar" component featured in the now-infamous Longhorn video.
Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, it is a host for interchangeable components. Through these components, Codename: Dashboard allows you to have any information you want, on your desktop, all the time.
The beta version of Codename: Dashboard is freely available for download. Keep in mind, this is a beta. It is an unfinished, test version. There will be bugs, and the program may not behave as you would expect.
If you find bugs, or have comments or questions about Codename: Dashboard, check out the Codename: Dashboard Community Site. Our users and moderators will be happy to help you with your problems.
