feline ***HUGS*** elvee!!!!

from the screen shot, that looks ideal!

many thanks for the link

my ISP disconnects me every 2 hours, on the dot. so it is often very useful to know that this is about to happen.

definetly going to try that the first chance i get

I'm in the same situation as Feline, and I've been searching for on online timer, for some time now, without luck.
Thanks Elvee.

Hippy, the one i currenty use is 'Advanced System Agent'

http://www.neurobridge.com/

i use version 2.77, however some of the basic XP updates brake the bandwidth monitoring parts

this has got so silly, i am on the verge of writing my own program to do this.

the only thing's holding me back are i dont yet know windows programming, and my native lazyness

however, i have found out how to do it, if that helps anyone

final follow up for now

Hippy, i should have mentioned, Advanced System Agent has been renamed "Maxus", so that is what to look for at that link if you are interested.

only a beta though, and my 2.77 registration didnt work when i tried the beta *sigh*

well, i have now got home (the resetting dial up connection machine) and have installed this OnlineEye program

more hugs for elvee, i love it!

You're welcome feline and Hippy I am using it myself. MSN cuts me off every 4 to 6 hours >

I was previously trying to talk one or two of the skinning scenes programmers, who I'm more friendly with, into making a skinnable online timer.At one point It was as a plugin for HvD, but I'd like to get my hands on one for LS now.
Actually, I'm thinking in LS, it might be possible to do that with label.dll. Any 'steppers out there that know if it can be done?

hippy, have you tried OnlineEye?

i have never used LS, but since this program places its into onto the title bar of the active window, i am guessing it stands a good chance of working under LS.

failing that, how "programmable" is LS?

the way these programs seem to work is they check for "i am online" once a second. as long as this is true, up the time count by one. that is why if the prog isnt running when you connect, the time online isnt correct.

so IF you can count seconds and display the count using your label.dll, you just need a way to check your online status.

for modem users a registry key is supposed to be created when you go online, so all you need to do is check for its existance once a second.

of course, be VERY careful playing with your registry.

where is Jafo, the LS master? perhaps a spelling mystakke or twwo will bring him out so we can ask himm?
