gCount is a menu bar and/or Dock item that displays the unread status of the inbox of a recently popular email service. It is provided free of charge, and the source will be released eventually. It requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later. What's New: Version 0.4:Features gCount is now Growl enabled. See http://growl.sourceforge.net/ for more info. gCount can now display itself in the Dock, with an 'unread badge count' like Mail.app's. It also has a Dock menu (control-click or right-click on the icon). Read above for instructions for enabling Dock mode. In the Dock Menu is a "Open Inbox on Dock Click" toggle. When it's on, a single click on the gCount icon in the Dock will open up the Inbox. Preference to the menu bar item off in the Preferences (only when Dock is enabled). Preference for "Launch at login" Bug Fixes gCount is now properly threaded, so an update does not freeze up the GUI. "Icon flashing" bug fixed. gCount now uses libgmail (http://libgmail.sourceforge.net) instead of the previous PHP script. This should be more compatible than the previous PHP script. Internet connection checking should work properly now. Other Changes The email service changed their authentication method, which rendered all previous versions of gCount incompatible. This has been fixed in v0.4. Slight renaming of browser menu items. Cleaned up the Preferences window GUI a bit. "Loading icon" is now only displayed on manual updates from the menu bar. Menu bar mode preference switches now happen live. Sounds in ~/Library/Sounds are now added to the New mail sound choices. |  |
