Generate CSS For Sprite Images – Sprite Cow

Advertise here with BSA


With their increasing popularity, we are seeing more and more CSS sprite generators everyday.

Sprite Cow is another one which is open source and works very effective by auto-recognizing the different elements inside a single image.

So, you design the sprite image in your favorite imaged editing application, upload it to Sprite Cow and simply click (or click + drag) on each element to get their width, height and background-position as a CSS rule.

The application can select items in any size and also gives you the option of changing the background color.

Free GUI Builders, Application Builders and Rapid Application Development (RAD) Software

One of the most tedious things (to me) about writing a new computer program is writing the code to manage its user interface. The programs listed in this new Free GUI Builders and Application Builders page will let you design your graphical computer program easily, by using a point and click interface. The software will then generate the source code for you, freeing you to work on the important parts of your program. Some of the programs can even generate cross-platform code, which means that you can create programs that run on multiple systems (like Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc).

New Free Pascal Cross Compiler for PIC Microprocessors

A new Pascal compiler has been added to the Free Pascal and Delphi Compilers page. Pascal is a general purpose computer language originally created to teach students programming. The new addition is a cross compiler for PIC microprocessors (but you can find other Pascal compilers on the page if you're just looking for a Windows, Mac or Linux compiler).

Lightweight jQuery Plugin For Overlays: Simple Overlay

Advertise here with BSA


Overlays are used widely when we need to block HTML elements or the full body and transfer the attention of the user to a specific point.

There are high-quality plugins for creating overlays but most of them come with Lightbox or modal dialog capabilities and sometimes all we need is only the overlay.

jQuery Simple Overlay

Simple Overlay is a flexible and lightweight jQuery plugin that can display the overlay using jQuery's fade effect, slide effect or no effect at all and can be improved further with built-in CSS hooks like CSS3-glossy effects.

The overlay can also be customized more by setting its color, opacity level, whether it'll be removed with onClick and more.

Thanks to custom callbacks, any functions can be fired after onShow and onHide events.

Passwords Reset

Earlier today the WordPress team noticed suspicious commits to several popular plugins (AddThis, WPtouch, and W3 Total Cache) containing cleverly disguised backdoors. We determined the commits were not from the authors, rolled them back, pushed updates to the plugins, and shut down access to the plugin repository while we looked for anything else unsavory.

We’re still investigating what happened, but as a prophylactic measure we’ve decided to force-reset all passwords on WordPress.org. To use the forums, trac, or commit to a plugin or theme, you’ll need to reset your password to a new one. (Same for bbPress.org and BuddyPress.org.)

As a user, make sure to never use the same password for two different services, and we encourage you not to reset your password to be the same as your old one.

Second, if you use AddThis, WPtouch, or W3 Total Cache and there’s a possibility you could have updated in the past day, make sure to visit your updates page and upgrade each to the latest version.

Today, videos are a significantly large part of the internet content. Not only websites like Youtube or Vimeo but services like Netflix or Hulu and much more support this rise.

Videola, an open source video management and delivery platform built on Drupal, can easily help creating a video-based website with users and even e-commerce being a part of it.

Videola

Subscription plans can be created and videos can -optionally- be streamed only to subscribed users, they can add/remove videos to the queue (like Netflix) and video analytics per subscriber can be viewed.

It is possible to show preview-images/videos to non-subscribed users and there is support for in streams advertising + branding bumpers.

For quicker access to the content, there are widgets like "similar videos" or "popular videos". Also, items can be tagged + categorized.

And, besides desktop browsers, videos can be watched in iOS and Android.
