I decided to design and create a little app which is always ontop of other windows, no matter what you click, minimize etc. This guide tool is always ontop. Now i havn't finished it but i was just woundering on some feedback of what you think, and would you exactly use it. Yes i know you can open a popup window on your desktop from the HX Website but, hey this is just what i decided to do. I may or may not finish it but we will see.

Personally i wouldnt use it.

If people are that desp for values guide they will save the rare value page to their desktop.

Its a nice idea though

If the image files were saved on my local hard-drive I would use it. I know that's probably very difficult but imagine how much quicker it would be not having to download all the images everytime I go on Habbox it takes ages and an application would speed it up loads.

I guess i could look into making the application have a feature to cache the images locally to the hard drive and have an update button to update them on a daily basis. But anyways i don't really think i will finish this but who knows i may just have ago at doing that caching.

Sorry for double post but i sort of decided to fix it up and release it, it includes virus total scan in the info.txt file. Stays ontop of all windows. Now i think i may work on that saving the images to your computer so you don't have to redownload them but it also sync's with habbox.

There are a few problems, like im using Windows 7 right now and the icon which is with the tool doesn't display in the actual superbar of Windows 7, also when hovering over a rare value some of the text is clipped off the actual screen which i will try and fix soon.

This could be a really good tool, I know its really annoying to switch back and forth when you're in a shop or something so this could be really useful. I assume you can switch around the margins to position it where you want?

You can move the window around but you cannot resize it yet, the reason of this is because of the way i have done the window to fit the Habbox theme and resizing would cause the images to stretch. I think i will improve this over time and make it work fully with resizable windows etc. Also there is a problem with when you put your mouse over some of the rares clipping occurs to the text that pops up.

If I still played habbo then I would probably use this. It would make it quicker to get values. :)

Theres already one of these isnt there
When you go onto habbox.com and under the "Rare Values Guide Search"
There is something you can press "search in a popup window (http://javascript<b></b>:popUp('scripts/rares_public/latest_rare.php'))"
And it will pop up
