Sinisterly Standalone Application - Synthx - 09-28-2017
As I do not currently know Swift, or AppleScript really well, I was wondering how I could make an application that is strictly for displaying a webpage. So, upon doing a quick google search, I fell upon this: Nativefier
It works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Here are up and downsides to this:
Upsides:
[+] No URL/NAV bar meaning a better fullscreen.
[+] Easily get to SL without having to have a browser open.
Downsides:
[-] No forward and back buttons. You can still use the SL logo to go back to the home page.
[-] When navigating between pages, the page flashes white for about half of a second give or take a few milliseconds.
[-] Since the application is not a web browser, some pop-up buttons don't actually work, for example, when I was trying to click the url button in the editor, nothing was showing up to paste the link. You can substitute this with mycode like the following:
Code:
[url=https://url-goes-here.com/]Text you would like displayed here (Optional)[/url][-] The only way I can really think of actually copying the link of the current page you are on is right clicking and clicking "Open with default browser".
I really like this, although I don't like a few of the downsides, but I can deal with that. You can use this "program" nativefier for any website, I just made this thread about using it with Sinisterly. When I ran it, and it compiled the application and all, it didn't put SL's logo as the icon or anything, so I manually did that.

If you were to ditch Nativefier and use Electron (Nativefier just automatically compiles the Electron for you) then you could I suppose make these pop-up buttons work, as well as integrate a few other cool features that would work really well.
Anyways, that's not why I'm here. I could provide the Windows compiled version, but my OCD is kicking in here and in order to make it work nicely (add a logo to the executable, the default Electron logo is annoying me and looks unprofessional) I'll need the sinister.li logo in the following sizes: 256x256, 128x128, 64x64, 48x48, 40x40, 32x32, 16x16. I'm hoping here that (since I can't get it myself) someone could potentially provide me with the logo in those sizes? Until then, ripperino (unless of course you're fine with having the default Electron logo plastered on the executable).

You can just grab the logo from the top of the website...

You're telling me you cant go into inspect element, select the element of it, and copy the link from the background-image property, because thats exactly how I did it....
By the way, for anyone wondering... Me and @Nytelife26 know each other from discord, which is why I am being a bit harsh.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm telling you.
Even if I could, aspect ratio is gonna mess things up real bad.

Ah, okay then. I understand.

@Synthx just grab the images and resize them for him and he will make you the app you want, not a bad trade off.

Icons are done, so are the executables, just waiting on Synth to update the thread now : P
