Pin Web Apps To Windows 7 Taskbar With Pokki

As more and more utilities are being moved to the cloud, it is become imperative to integrate cloud based services within the desktop environment of operating systems. For starters, how about pinning web apps to the Windows 7 taskbar?

Pokki is an application built on the Chromium framework, which enables developers to build web applications which can be pinned and executed from the Windows taskbar. These web apps not just automatically pin to the taskbar, but also provide notifications for unread items.

The currently available web apps which can be integrated with your taskbar include apps for Gmail, Tweeki (for Twitter), Facebook, Headlines (RSS Feed Reader), LivingSocial, Groupie, Wall Street Journal, and eBay. Pokki is not just for common users but also an opportunity for developers to develop web apps and get wider exposure by using the Pokki platform.



To use Pokki, you will require downloading and installing Pokki based web apps from the developers website individually. While this may seem like a downside, it is in fact useful for installing your desired web apps and not a bundle of unwanted applications. For example, if you wish to download a Twitter web app for managing your Twitter account from a pop-up on the taskbar and to get periodic Twitter updates, then you can download and install the Tweeki web app.




Once your desired apps are installed, you can manage your online accounts from pinned web apps on your Taskbar, within pop-up windows. For example, you can use the Tweeki web app to manage your Twitter account or use the Gmail app for fully managing your Gmail account. To view all installed Pokki apps, click on the Pokki icon (first icon on the left). You will see all installed web apps (Pokkis), as shown in the first screenshot above.

Pokki is still a young application and as this project is further developed, we are likely to see more pinnable web apps. If you are a developer, you can benefit from the Pokki platform by signning up for an account via the Build a Pokki button on the developer’s home page. You can start building a Pokki, by downloading the Pokki SDK and checking out their developer’s guidelines available from the sign up page.

Pokki, for now, is only available for Windows 7.

Windows 8 Immersive Metro UI Start Page For Web Browsers

The Windows 8 Immersive Metro UI for tablet PCs that Microsoft demoed a short while ago has left quite an impressions among Windows enthusiasts. One DeviantArt user has coded a start page in HTML, CSS and JQuery intended to be used as new tab page in browsers, that mimics the tile-based Metro UI interface.

By default, the start page contains shortcuts to twelve popular websites such as Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, CNN, Grooveshark etc, but all the shortcuts and images on the start page can be customized and tweaked easily by modifying JavaScript file which contains all the settings.

To use Windows 8 Metro UI-styled homepage on your web browser, simply download EIGHT - Firefox start page, unpack to a location in your hard drive and set the index.htm file as the homepage in your browser. If you want the start page to open every time you open a new tab, configure your browser to open the homepage as the new tab page.

To customize the shortcuts you have to create the images containing the logo or name of the websites, place them inside the folder ‘thumbs’ and then edit the file source.js and replace the URLs. The logos look best when set in white with alpha transparency. In simpler terms – transparent images with white logos. The background image of each tile can be changed too, by replacing the images under the folder ‘lib’. You can also change the search engine to Bing or Yahoo.
