Do you have extracted all files to one directory?
It's quite strange. Does the blank window have a title?

You should have the following files:
CodeWalriiNotify.exe
HtmlRenderer.dll
HtmlRenderer.WinForms.dll
Newtonsoft.Json.dll
settings.json
walrii.gif

If the files are complete, you might still want to try the latest version of GTK#:
https://xamarin.azureedge.net/GTKforWindows/Windows/gtk-sharp-2.12.45.msi

Personally, I absolutely can't stand Windows 10, so I don't have a single instance (and don't test my software with it).
Technically, it should work, but perhaps it needs a more recent version of GTK to work.

Quote from: DJ Omnimaga on April 19, 2020, 06:01:17 PMHm I dunno if it's because of Windows Defender, but nothing happens when I double-click the exe file after decompressing the archive. I use Windows 10 and there's nothing out of the ordinary appearing in Task Manager

Do you have the Gtk# runtime library installed?
http://download.xamarin.com/GTKforWindows/Windows/gtk-sharp-2.12.38.msi

Alright, probably for the last time ever, I have fixed and finished the CW notifier.
You can download the binary files here: https://benedikt.cloud/dl/cwnotify/CodeWalrusNotifier-fixed-finally.zip

Have fun 

Quote from: DJ Omnimaga on April 11, 2020, 05:24:16 PMWhat was the URL of the notifier? Before the SMF 2.1 RC2 upgrade I had a link on the recent topics page but it disappeared when we ditched Simpleportal.

https://codewalr.us/notifier/

What happened to your project? Did it go further?

Quote from: DarkestEx on April 18, 2019, 08:41:42 PMHehe, indeed. I am actually using this much on a regular basis and might even consider upgrading one last time to 32 GB at some point.

And I actually ended up doing that. It's now fully maxed out and runs great.

Hmm, I just stumbled over the old notifier.
I fixed it maybe one or two years ago, but now it broke again.
Even though probably nobody uses it anymore, it probably still warrants an update...

Quote from: DJ Omnimaga on April 18, 2019, 08:37:06 PMDamn, that's a lot of RAM. I rarely use more than 10 GB at once (Minecraft with high-res textures and shader packs). I think my mobo only supports up to 16 GB too. I really needed to upgrade my GPU if I wanted to play new games higher than medium settings.

Hehe, indeed. I am actually using this much on a regular basis and might even consider upgrading one last time to 32 GB at some point.
For me, primarily the web browser's memory management gets less efficient the more RAM is available. The same amount of tabs open will inflate RAM more now.
I tend to keep various CAD programs open at the same time, while developing electronics, along said browser. This will also eat up quite a lot of RAM.
My graphics card is really quite basic compared to yours
But for me, it's more than enough to play Minecraft well. I don't tend to play a lot on PC (primarily on console) so it doesn't matter much to me.

I have just recently upgraded my main PC. These are the new specs:

* 4x Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40 GHz (8 Threads, HT, VT-x)
* 20 GB DDR3 RAM
* AMD Radeon HD 7470 @ 775 MHz (1 GB GRAM)
* 4x USB 3, 8x USB 2
* 240 GB SSD, 500 GB HDD
* Full HD LCD
* Cherry business keyboard
* Speedlink Manejo vertical mouse

I'm curious how this will continue. I have been watching for a long time now

It looks amazing. Good job, well done
Though, you're quite serious with the content warning XD

This is really cool.

Maybe you could create an online service, where you can pass in text as a parameter in the URL, and it creates the same GIF.

This would be rather intensive on your server, though, I'd imagine.

I fear you're right with your assumption.
But I could still host them on a per-user basis.
So if anyone's interested, just post

Good evening,

back in late 2015, I have developed code to automatically generate a dynamic, animated gif, scroll text for my signature.
You can see it in action down below.

It is capable of displaying live content as can be seen by the date changing.
I could easily add support for displaying my latest posts or some kind of live ticker.

The script is caching the .gif so it is not always regenerated, but this delay can be set to preference.
There is a ton of configuration options that can be found in the configuration file.

I have finally decided to open-source my old and not very polished code, so that people can have fun with it here.
If someone wants me to host their banner, just post down below. It will need a copyright free background and a copyright free font.

So here's the code: https://gist.github.com/bmuessig/fd33426523d5b6a7d845a5985c6c8f8f

And my signature banner in action:


Cheers!

@_iPhoenix_ I have a palette of shades of gray now. Is the entered color going to replace the lightest of all these shades?
Also, what is meant by number of walrusses involved?
