Ok, it took me a while to get back to RokDownloads. I just got slammed over the last month and a half that I really have not had time to jump on it. Damn that need for real world income! But its amazing how much you can do if you sit down and focus.

RokBox 1.0 has been released! Many bugs have been fixed plus some enhances and much more files types support.
I want to thank also Dennis Pleiter for his contribute with wildcards, that has been integrated directly in the RokBox 1.0.

Following a list of changes:

As you know we are HUGE proponents of Adobe Fireworks for web design here at RocketTheme and RocketWerx. Following in the tradition of other Adobe public betas like Lightroom, today the beta for CS4's version of Fireworks has been released. It's available for download via the Adobe labs site but you must have your CS3 serial number handy so you can obtain a valid CS4 key to unlock the Fireworks CS4 Beta.

RokSlideshow Standalone version is now available for download at RokSlideshow Download section

With the Standalone version you'll be able to use RokSlideshow in any site that you wish, with or without Joomla! Environment.

In the pack provided you will find an example folder also, with a sample page that demostrates how to integrate it in your pages. Also, the documentation has been updated to explain step-by-step how the standalone version works.

We dropped a new release of RokDownloads out as an Alpha. More info on it is available in the forums

I think this is the first time ever, but according to the apple wwdc site, the yearly developer conference is now completely sold out.

I don't know if your like me, but I really love the QuickLook feature in OS X 10.5 Leopard. It's one of those things that after you've started using it, you can't understand how you ever got along without it before. My workflow and general productivity went up at least 50% when I switched from a PC to a Mac running OS X 10.4 Tiger, and I think 10.5 has helped me get about 10-20% more efficient than that. Basically what QuickLook does for you is when your navigating around your files in Finder, you can click the space-bar and instantly get a preview of that file zoomed-in on your desktop. Of course the caveat behind this is that by default Leopard supports very few formats and all the useful ones us developers want to look at, only show a big version of the icon, which helps me not!

RokBox is a multimedia plugin that popups a web2.0 window and supports many formats and types. RokBox supports images, quicktime (mov), windows media window (wmv), mp3, wav, youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, metacafe, google video, simple swf, local pages (html, php, asp), remote sites (iframes)... All in a hyper easy way of implementation and customization.

RokBox has also a theme system that let you design your own themes easily. It comes up with two predefined themes, a light and a dark one, that will fit in any sort of site. With RokBox you can even choose which effect use to pops up your media content, you can even create your own! Predefined effects are: quicksilver, growl, explode, fade.

Well we've got the temporary site up and running. Of course it's running the latest Joomla! 1.5 with 100% native theme, components, plugins, modules, etc. The long-term plan is to move RocketWerx into a sub-section of the overall RocketTheme parent site when the new version of that launches. The benefits of that plan going forward is that we can have much tighter integration for existing club members. We'll be able to offer discounts and upgrades between RocketWerx Pro products and RocketTheme club memberships. This site is providing a bit of a test-bed for our navigation that will be carried with us when we move to the new RocketTheme home some time in the future.
