Matchless wedding concepts are extremely in need nowadays. People would be inclined to invest on having their wedding in castles, beaches, parks or have themed weddings than having a customary one.

As I mention in the post, I’ve got XBList set up to have a Sidebar Gadget in the future, but I’m not sure if I actually want to write it. Maybe someday…

Any plans for a lighter version of this to live in the Vista Sidebar? Or maybe convert the full version into a sidebar gadget? Would be quite cool no?

I’ll look into being able to dismiss the popups with a right click. I don’t know that I’d think to do that – as it is, you can just hit the “close” box on the popup to dismiss it earlier. As you said, hovering will make it stay longer.

The way XBList does minimize-to-tray is the correct way for Windows applications to do minimize-to-tray. I don’t think I’ll be changing that.

As for logging on using Firefox cookies… no. But, in the future I hope to not have to use that whole hacky “hijack an IE instance” scheme for login anyway.

I’ve been using this for a while now. I too believe that it would become somewhat obsolete when the Live Anywhere infrastructure was first announced and I was even excited about it but Microsoft seems like they are going NOWHERE with their implementation.

I feel like they are doing it the wrong way. The correct way being YOUR way. :)

On the update itself:

- I love the new pop-up but I would really like to be able to dismiss it easier. I think it should be done the same way Google Talk does it. By that I mean that a right click would dismiss it (and still keep the X button), a mouse hover should keep it “alive” (if this isn’t already like that) and that a left click should open the XBList window (if minimized).

- I also believe that (on the main dialog) the minimize button should minimize XBList to the Taskbar and that the X button should minimize it to the Tray. As it is now, when X is pressed it kills the application. I very often press X to minimize (because of other application behaviors) and end up killing the app.

- Last but not least, I was wondering if XBList would be able (somewhere in the future) to log-in using a Firefox cookie (or any default browser) instead of an IE cookie? I am asking this because I usually clear all cookies from IE (and end up deleting my Xbox.com cookie) for fear of the infamous Tracking Cookies and I was a “select” number of cookies i “need” (logins, settings, etc.) for some website that are not deleted with Firefox when I clear my cache.

In any case, this is awesome. Thanks so much!
