Русская версия Krento

Image
Это сообщение я решил написать на русском языке, так как оно предназначается для русскоязычных пользователей Krento. Вышла новая версия Кренто 1.4, которая доступна для скачивания с www.krento.net . Начиная с этой версии Кренто становится интернациональной с возможностью поддержки дополнительных языков интерфейса. Первым дополнительным языком, который поддерживает Кренто я выбрал русский. В дальнейшем предполагается поддерживать все языки, которые будут востребованы пользователями и для перевода на которые найдутся добровольцы. Выбор языка осуществляется в окне настройки: После смены языка необходимо перезапустить Кренто, чтобы изменения вступили в силу. Весь текст, который использует Кренто, хранится во внешнем текстовом файле в формате Unicode. Если Вы желаете изменить или улучшить перевод, Вы можете просто отредактировать файл ru-Ru.lng который хранится в папке Krento\Languages. Редактировать языковый файл можно просто в Блокноте Если у Вас есть более правильный вариант пере...

Application Ring vs Stones Circle

Krento uses some own terminology for it's parts, but not all is standardized yet. Some of the users call one applications set "Application Ring" other "Stones Circle" or "Krento Circle". I would like to ask everybody what is the better name for application set. It's also important for the future translation of Krento to other languages. You can vote on the Krento forum: http://krento.11.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=24

Krento private user data

Image
I must admit that most of Windows applications is more easy to use and configure than Linux applications. At the same time users see them as a kind of "back boxes". If something going on then the easiest way to fix the problem is to reinstall the application. I prefer that Krento users know what kind of information is stored on the hard drive by Krento, how to backup this information, modify it or remove when uninstalling the application. The main data folder of Krento is a subfolder named "Krento"  and located in "Application Data" folder (ususally hidden). How to find "Application Data" folder on your PC? Krento can help you. Open Krento settings dialog and press "Open Data Folder" button. Another way is to open your user folder and find there "Application Data" folder. and then select "Roaming" subfolder. The last way (oh, my god) is to navigate to the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\ User \Applicatio...

Krento 1.3 - major release

Image
The new version of Krento 1.3 is available for download from http://www.krento.net This is major update of Krento and I would recommend to uninstall any previously installed version before installing Krento 1.3 You personal data and application rings would stay untouched. This release has new setup with modern look, additional features and accurate work with registry The size of Krento was reduced almost twice even with all new features. The loading of the application rings was improved. Krento keeps applications rings history and can navigate between the rings using context menu or Ctrl + B and Ctrl + F keys (to go back and forward). The registry access was reduced (portable edition does not use registry at all). Also all operations performed now without using Administrator rights even if Krento is running under Administrator account.

Krento 1.2 released

Image
Krento v.1.2 released and available for download. Krento is a simple, good looking 3D application launcher for Windows. Application launchers can speed up your computer experience, but they aren't always pleasant to look at. Krento is not only easy to configure, but it adds some serious 3D eye candy to your desktop, with little impact on resources. Krento runs in the background from the system tray, and can be launched by either right-clicking the icon, clicking your mouse's scroll wheel, hitting Windows + C, or double-clicking a toggled "pulsar"—basically a small, semi-transparent animated icon—in the corner of your screen. To launch a program, just click on its box (or "stone", as Krento calls it). Or, if you don't want to move from the keyboard, you can also hit ctrl + the function key that corresponds to the program. In the above-pictured case, for example, Ctrl + F5 for the Command Prompt. To add programs to the launcher, just drag and drop th...
