Motivator

[Wizard]

Hi all, here's my litte project called MyMotivator. It's a bunch of inspirational messages, put the sound on and enjoy It's written in pascal with Delphi 6. The fade effect only works in Vista, not in XP for some strange reason

Anyway, tell me what you think

Ps: How do I upload an image fo the screenshot?

Did you try [ img]http://...[/img]? By the way, if you upload the images to Imageshack, Flickr or similar it builds some code you can copy and paste in forums and blogs.

[edit]Did you see the "embed" button at the screenshot page of your project? It includes the code you should use in the forums.

Thanks, I got it to work

I did. I did test it on WineHQ (don't have Windows) but it doesn't work.

The debug trace shows that it tries to load a lot of DLL that it can't find, then it catchs an unhandled exception. Here you have an extract from Wine's debugger:

Don't know if it's helpful.

Hi, thanks for testing Unfortunately, I haven't tested it on anything other than windows The dll's that it tries to load must be the windows files, this is what's in my uses clause:

uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls, Buttons, ColorButton, GIFImage, MPlayer;

Thanks again for testing

I downloaded and tested your motivator a bit (got XP Pro). I like the idea, but have some suggestions:

- It would be nice to be able to load your own messages. Some people will feel more inspired by other messages than the ones you put. No pun intended here.

- I don't like the green color you chose. While it's impossible to put a color that all people would like, it'd be nice to be able to choose it (sort of a theme option?).

- I could see the fading when closing with no problems (on XP).

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks DarkBow, I'm taking your suggestions into consideration.
