A start of a UI

I have just uploaded to SVN a update to what is currently in existence of the extension, and it is starting to have a UI. I have finally got it working to have a item in the Tools menu, and now when you click on it, it has the basis of a options UI.

I had to start over, but not much had been done, and now that everything I am trying to do (so far) is working, I am very happy. I will try to make this work a bit better, and then I will try XPCOM (noooo!) again (again, if anyone has any experience with creating and using XPCOM components, please email me).

I will update here again when something else comes up. Also, remember, if you want to help out with the project, just go to the main page and select "join project" or help out in the Google Group.

Dugg, FireStorm and UI

Well, we got Dugg. Good thing that everything is hosted on Google, as I have been Dugg before, and my servers don't cope very well!

A few other things (I may as well put them all in the one post)...

I had a email from Ben, who is running the FireStorm project, which is similar to BitFox, and we hope to be able to work together to (possibly) make a single extension, but we will probably have the 2 projects while in early development. I am going to speak with him later and I will let everyone know more here.

As for the UI, I have taken a break from XPCOM, as it isn't the easiest thing to understand (I will get back to it later), I will hopefully have a UI for BitFox up soon (just a basic one, will probably change). The idea: All the C++ code is as components, and then those components can be accessed by the extension, which will then download the torrent and display everything in the UI. Can't be that hard right?....
