NiceTiles is an application that allows you to create and place tiles on your desktop which represent applications and documents from any mounted disk drive. Clicking on these tiles will launch the application and open the document without having to traverse the endless folders and directories most of us have our stuff filed in. And it is limited only by the size of your screen - unlike the Browser. NiceTiles is a learning execise for me. It is the vehicle I chose to learn programming under the BeOS. I say it IS a learning experience because I plan to continue adding features and refining the code as I continue with other projects. This will be my test bed for new ideas and experiments. NiceTiles is based loosely on a program written by Rick Holzgrafe for the Macintosh called The Tilery. However, NiceTiles adds many new and in my opinion useful features to those found in the Tilery. For example, configuration options such as size and color of tiles can be set on a per tile basis and sets of tiles can be configured and saved and then referenced from with the displayed set. And best of all it runs under BeOS. Frank Nichols BeDevId #7129 fnichols@earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~fnichols
