NEWS:

“My favorite Vista tweaker is a very unassuming, free little program from Lawrence Albert called WinBubble… it sure beats the daylights out of editing the Registry by hand. And the results will perk up your day. Guaranteed.” - Woody Leonhard, Windows Secrets Newsletter, 7 Feb 2008, WindowsSecrets.com

WinBubble, Best Free TweakUI replacement

My favorite multi-awarded author, Woody Leonhard, who is adored blindly and excessively by everyone (Of course by Me), now living in thailand with his father, beautiful wife and sons. Surprisingly chooses WinBubble as his favorite Vista Tweaker. Wow!

In recent weeks, he worked with several utilities that slice and dice Vista: TweakVI, Vista Smoker Pro, Fresh UI, Vispa, Stardock's Tweakvista and WinBubble. He tests and consider in detail each utility as stated in the paid version of Windows Secrets Newsletter.

Why WinBubble hit the sweet spot in his tests

"Like Vispa, WinBubble doesn't require any installation regimen at all. Just unzip the downloaded file and stick it into a convenient folder. The program runs clean, without putting any hooks into Vista..."

Is there someone here who are good in making icons?

awesome job ciprah_kapa. Your other thread was also very informative "hidden..secrets"

Good luck on all of your endeavors!

 

oh yea....if you need help in grammar, let me know...i sit around at the hospital half the time not doing anything. Just PM me and i will provide my personal email address to you

 

Congratulations and good luck with future projects.

 

Congrats...oh Vista only....hehe I downloaded it, but i don't use vista......I mean still use XP

 

Thank you Eyecon82 and KnightUnit! Thanks guys!

 

If you have some request/suggestions to the next version of Winbubble, post it here!

 

What is Winbubble?

Edited: wow...i am trying it out today

 

What exactly will the next version of Winbubble hold? Bug fixes, more tweaks, better gui?

 

how many DL's have you had?

 

In my monitoring, there are 1,702+ downloads. (After one week of release)
It surpasses other recently released Tweaking tools in freewarefiles.com.
The downloads are increasing in Softpedia...and Other hosting sites.

I cannot count other downloads because some websites uploaded Winbubble to other
FREE hosting services.

Now, I am waiting for other publishers to allow me to post Winbubble.

Maybe you can help me, to post articles to other sites. Thanks!

Others:
Any suggestions for the next released of Winbubble?
Registry tricks that you like to add?
How about Customization of ICONS in Windows Vista?

Please post it here!

NOTE: Let us clean this thread... As useful as possible. that's Winbubble...

 

What about my questions?

 

I am planning to add More customizations...
And tweaks.
Now, I am hacking some stuff that may arise in the next version of Winbubble.
Sorry, It's a secret for now...
Anyway, If the downloads exceeds my expectations, I will released it soon.
If not, I will focus on quality and better user experience and I will released it next year.

"TWO clicks"

The easier the better, If you want how it is done...Just, surf my blogsite.

Thanks Calvin

Registry tricks that you like to add?
How about Customization of ICONS in Windows Vista, what do you think?

 

Updating the gui would also be a big plus for the program. Also, getting a better site would help a lot.

 

Again, Thank you Calvin. It really helps... Now, I am planning to release the Christmas version of Winbubble.

now, I am writing the code.

For others, Please feel free to post some suggestions.

Sounds like something I could really use, will have to give it a try.

What kind of reviews are you getting so far? Have any bugs / issues been reported? Although I guess the title tells it all, 100% clean.

I'm always nervous about trying new shareware, just because I imagine it takes a lot of work for a developer to thoroughly verify full compatibility. Even the giant companies have issues. Thanks.

 

Any possibility of making Winbubble for XP?

 

It's not shareware. It's totally free.

Winbubble was made because of how hard it is to customize many aspects of vista but in xp it's a lot easier.

 

i don't think its possible since many of the tweaks are vista related only

 

Ok, Freeware then (better yet), but I still have the same questions. The idea of what it offers sounds great, because the learning curve for optimizing Vista for what I want has been kind of a slow process for me, I never have time to really experiment. Looking forward to trying it out.

 

Yeah, you're probably right.

 

Why don't you just do the xp tweaks yourself? It's easy enough for whatever you want to do.

 

Does it work in XP?
Do you have an XP version?

 

No
No
Asked before by the blond one.

 

Thank you very much guys! Can I call you 'friends'? Calvin and eyecon82

 

Sure, i don't see why not.

 

of course

 

very nicely done. the program is great, i will save it for my folder of useful programs.

one thing i can suggest to you for improvement is to get a real website. Godaddy offers for about 40 bucks for 1 year which includes a domain and hosting for a year with 250gb/month bandwidth. With the size of your file, i doubt you would have any bandwidth problems and you could host the download yourself. Plus a real domain looks much more professional which your program deserves.

Well done.

 

Thank you very much nizzy1115... I am looking forward for that...But I'm too busy with my work.

But I hope I can do that Next year.

Maybe you can make tips in your website regarding Winbubble.

Lawrence

 

Recent News: Soft82.com Recently gave Winbubble 5 Star Award.

The next version of WinBubble.

*More customizations
*Additional tweaks
*Clean-looking GUI (New classification of features)

Other suggestions, Please post your ideas.

 

Lawrence, if you need someone to make you a new website i can do it for you.

 

That's Great! Now, I'm in a business trip (Jpn) . So I'm very very busy.

But, Once in a while. I try to answer all the questions and feedbacks regarding Winbubble.
Also, I try to write a code for at least 1-2hrs.

Anyway, I'm planning to do that.

 

No but i put that i am because i really want to. Even if i could speak Japanese and got my grades up the straight A's my mum wouldn't allow it.

 

Haha! Me, I've been to Japan for several times already but until now, I don't know how to speak Japanese...

I hope I can!

 

Calvin, What are the websites that you've created before?
-----------update-----------
Day 2
I'm planning to do more Customizations in the next version of WinBubble.
I have some difficulty on some tweaks. Anyway, I'll just keep on trying.

Go go go!

 

Can you make a version with some XP tweaks??

 

Actually, i don't really use my talent right now. Even though i have a lot of free time i usually stay out of it. I'm making a site for my brother right now for $100 at the least but i'm slacking off because i'm not really into it.

 

I love to make an XP version...But there are so many softwares in Windows XP that can do some functions of WinBubble.

Anyway, I'll think about it.

Wow, I hope you do. I can do some ASP.net web dev using vb.net/c# but I'm a beginner
on it. I've won some contest on web dev but only because I used a great strategy.
I study web dev for 3 days then in the finale I won the contest. haha!

But maybe, If I have a good idea regarding Web 2.0, I'll gather my books again and try to write some code again regarding the web.
