The road to the Sleipnir 3 for Windows web broswer

2012-01-19T17:30:00.000+09:00

From April this year, it will have been 10 years since the official version of Sleipnir 1.0 was released.
Sleipnir was born during the dawn of the tab browser era, and grew gradually while overcoming countless hurdles.

For those of you who have been using Sleipnir for many years, you may already know about the case where the laptop containing the source code of Sleipnir was stolen while the founder and president, Kashiwagi was developing it.
That was November 16th 2004.

After that, Sleipnir 2 was announced, and then our company, Fenrir Inc. was established and so 7 years has passed until the official release of Sleipnir 3 on November 16th 2011.

Around 3 years passed since the announcement of development of Sleipnir 3 for Windows.
I would like to explain a little about why it took 3 years to provide you with the next version of Sleipnir.

Your selected browser

After the announcement that development for Sleipnir 3 for Windows had started, web browsers using [rendering speed] as their selling point rapidly started to take the majority share of the market. Many browsers began to fight each other using [speed] that is faster than can be felt. Also, many developers from around the word were fascinated by open-source and global platforms, and so started to provide add-ons.
The more development for Sleipnir 3 for Windows proceeded, the more the gap between Sleipnir 3 for Windows and other browsers became apparent.

Advancing to only provide viewing of web contents, in response to competitor web browsers, what should Sleipnir 3 for Windows do?
What is a browser that you choose?

After the announcement that development for Sleipnir 3 for Windows had started, 2 years was spent stabilizing the foundations of production, and then around 1 year ago, the product entry was announced as Next Sleipnir. However, at that time, it was decided to totally change the completed product specifications and start from scratch.

This is the reason it took us 3 years to come this far.

And so with the continued support from our userbase and thorough testing, it was finally released with the slogan [The rich and powerful web browser].

Towards the rich and powerful web browser

The goal of Sleipnir 3 for Windows is to achieve a natural browser with feeling.
Not just a browser that displays content, but a browser where you can feel a sense of emotion from displayed content and so enjoy your time when using the browser.
An interface that stimulates the senses as [rich], the advanced tab functions as [performance].

TouchPaging, Full-screen mode, bookmark synchronization, and not forgetting advanced tab functionality are all characteristic features of Sleipnir 3 for Windows, the rich and powerful web browser.
The first release of Sleipnir 3 for Windows did not come with target-specific functions and support for plug-ins.

At this point we are sorry we can not please all our userbase by providing these features from the first release.

However, rather than providing all the desired features right from the start, we though it was more important to release the official version so we can start advancing forward and start working with our userbase.
We would be very happy if you would like to experience the progress of Sleipnir 3 for Windows with us.

The web is much more fun with Sleipnir

We have not just released a Windows version of Sleipnir, but also versions for Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows Phone.

By using the Fenrir Pass account service as a hub, you can connect with web services in addition to just a web browser. Fenrir Pass can be found here.
Use it to make browsing with Sleipnir even more enjoyable.
We are aiming to provide Sleipnir to users all around the world.
New web services are also being planned.
Please look forward to the web of tomorrow that Fenir Inc. is paving out.

How to use Sleipnir 3 for Mac

2012-01-18T15:30:00.001+09:00

Introduction

The Mac version of Sleipnir 3 is not a mere copy of the Windows version. It is optimized for use with the Mac.
The design, layout and usage is very similar to when using other products from Apple inc. such as the iPhone.
It makes exceptional use of the trackpad, offering many familiar gestures.
Following the same trend as Apple inc., Sleipnir 3 for Mac offers a simple to use interface with as little waste space as possible.
You can also search opened tabs, bookmarks and your history.
Oh, and last but not least, you can sync your bookmarks with all versions of Sleipnir. So feel free to take with you and use the same bookmarks on your iPhone, iPad or even devices from other companies such as the Android.

Touch gestures with the trackpad

Pinch-in to enable "TiledTab". Then you can switch tab groups by swiping.
Glide from tab to tab by swiping along the trackpad.

We have made Sleipnir 3 for Mac as simple as possible so that you can use your browser for what it is meant to do, browse the web.
Sleipnir 3 for Mac comes installed with functions for many tasks you often do, and with a compact, uncomplicated interface that you will never get tired of.

The address bar only when necessary

The address bar is usually compactly displayed in the top-right corner of the browser window. It can be edited by clicking it or pressing the command key + L. By reducing the space the adress bar took up in the tool bar, we have created a much more pleasant, free from clutter style.
Even if you omit part of a Web address, when connecting to a https site, an icon is displayed to show that data is being safely transferred. Also, website candidates from open tabs, bookmarks and your history are incrementally displayed when inputting an address.

The download progress bar

A download progress bar is specially displayed at the top right corner of the browser window when a file is being downloaded. Even when you are downloading multiple files, the overall download progress is displayed so you check everything in a glance. However, if you click the progress bar you can check the download progress of each individual file.
The download history is displayed when a download is finished. When there is no download history, the icon is not displayed so that no unnecessary space is taken.

Open bookmarks from a new tab

Bookmarks can be opened by pulling down the new tab button located at the right-hand side of the tabs. By not displaying a bookmark bar in this way, you can access bookmarks without any space being wasted.
The bookmark bar that only has a color displayed when necessary
The bookmark bar is usually displayed in black and white, but is displayed in color when the cursor is moved towards it. We have done this so you are not disturbed by other things on the screen when you want to focus on browsing the web.

Support for Lion full screen

Support is available for the standard full screen of Lion. Because of the simple design, the full screen mode can be very effectively used.
Smoothly and quickly switch between tabs using touch gestures.

TiledTab

Open tabs can be displayed in a picture list view by performing a pinch-in(a pinch movement using two fingers) on the track pad Using this view it is possible to find the page you are look for faster than the original task bar, especially when there are many tabs opened. The transition between the TiledTab screen and standard screen is also very smooth.
It is possible to switch between 6 different tab groups by swiping left and right with TiledTab.

Switching between tabs

Tabs can be instally switch between by swiping left and right. You can move between pages as if you are seeminglessly scrolling through one page. This makes it easy to speedily to browse through the web and perform your desired tasks.
The swipe gestures are made to match the standard operations used in Mac OS X. You can scroll using the 3 finger swiping(2 fingers with a mouse) of Mac OS X Snow Leopard(10.6 and the 2 finger swipe(One finger with a mouse) of OS X Lion(10.7).
Also, you can perform back and forward operations by swiping while holding down the command key.

Introduction to the TouchPaging user interface

2012-01-18T15:30:00.000+09:00

Until TouchPaging: Introduction to ideas for creating an easy to understand user interface.
Even if you do not press the small tab bar you can switch between tabs quickly with TouchPaging.
TouchPaging is not just used in iPhone/iPad but is one of the characteristics of Sleipnir. Today, I want to introduce to you just how the TouchPaging in Sleipnir Mobile for iPhone/iPad became what is today.

Scroll just like usual

The main feature of TouchPaging is that you can [scroll just like usual]. Because of this, anybody can start using it without having to go through tedious instructions. In order to achieve this, TouchPaging has been made to start only when scrolling at the very edge of the screen.
First of all, it is necessary to have a space between pages. If the user does not when a page ends and when a page starts, he might accidently jump to the next page.

Introduction

Just like when scrolling

If the same scrolling system is going to be used, then of course TouchPaging should be displayed in the same way as when scrolling normally.
The background and shadowing displayed when scrolling at the edges of the screen are actually the same as with the iOS. The background when TouchPaging has been made so it is the same as usual so there is no sense of awkwardness. If a different color appeared in the background when scrolling you might not know what is happening.

Incidentally, we have made the depth of the shadowing a little weak because the distance between pages isn't very large and to improve performance.

Enter the mode

The next thing we thought of was how to reload tabs. Even with the limitied memory of the iPhone and iPad, there are still occasions when opened tabs are reloaded. Just moving to the next tab results in reloading them.

In order to solve this memory-wasting issue, we created a mode so that tabs are not reloaded every time. Because of this, it is possible to smoothly and quickly go all the way to the furthest open tab.

Informing when you have entered the mode

Next, it is important that the user realizes that he has entered the mode. This is the reason why when starting TouchPaging, the page shrinks and when going back, the screen is set to fit a certain size. Even so, we still made sure to display everything as obviously as possible to provide the feeling that you are directly switching between pages.
Also, we have made it so the display is automatically fixed when you remove your finger, so that you do not become confused about how to exit the mode. We have also made sure to minimize the time it takes to fix the display so that you do not waste time waiting.

Determining which tab is selected

We thought that it would be easier to use if you could tell which tab you are trying to switch to when using TouchPaging. We believe it is very important that you can predict what the results will be of the operation you are about to perform.
Incidentally, if you look very closely you can probably see that only when starting TouchPaging does the distance for the next tab to be highlighted become short. We have made it short only at the start so that you can start quickly with a swipe. Even then, you can see which tab is being switched to, making it easy to operate as usual regardless of the distance.

Mac/PC does not enter the mode

TouchPaging is also included in Sleipnir 3 for Mac and Windows, but they do not enter the mode. The reason for this is that unlike the iPhone and iPad, the Mac and PC do not reload every time. Just going to the next tab is enough, reducing the waiting time.

Even for the same usage and same operations, we are always trying our best to provide the best results by changing the operationability for each version of Sleipnir.

Sleipnir 2 Web Browser Keyboard Shortcuts

2012-01-18T11:00:00.001+09:00

When browsing the web and performing various tasks, it can become tedious if you end up performing the same time-consuming operations.
To save time, there are many different keyboard combinations known as keyboard shortcuts that can be performed to quickly execute common tasks.
Learning these keyboard shortcuts can be difficult and bothersome. Most of you may know "Ctl + C" to copy and a few other shortcuts, but there are many many more out there.
I have listed the common keyboard shortcuts used in Sleipnir 2 for Windows below, so that you can easily find out quick alternatives to the common tasks you are used to.

(Depending on the region your keyboard comes from, there is a possibility that the keys are arranged differently resulting in some functions not working as displayed below.)

Introduction to the secret tricks for Sleipnir 3 Option Searching!

2012-01-18T10:30:00.000+09:00

Today, I would like to introduce Option Searching tips (probably not even known by the members of staff here at Fenrir Inc.!) for Sleipnir 3 for Windows.

I want to display all the options

By inserting an asterisk (*) into the option search, and performing a search, all the options can be viewed in a list.
Scrolling on the option search results screen can be performed, perfect for users who feel going through all the options from the top of the options screen is too much bother.

I want to search more easily

In the optional search fields, even searching with [default], [Set], or [browser] returns [Set as default browser].
Please note that currently, searches are case-sensitive. So searching for [Change] will not return results with [change]. It is possible to search for both [Change] and [change] by inputting them both together with a space between them, [Change change].
A basic search dictionary has still not be set up. However, with future updates, we intend to make optional search fields easier to use and understand.

I want to know more advanced tricks

You can pin-point options by searching with the format: [#<ID>]in the optional search page.
By inputting [#option:SetAsDefaultBrowser] and searching, you can display [Set as default browser] straight away.
By inputting [#option:Language] and searching, you can display [Language for user interface].

The search functions with this ID have the advantage of being fixed regardless of the user interface language.
Please be aware that small and capital letters are distinguished between in the ID.
Also, this function is in experimental stages, so I will stop at just introducing the function, and instead investigate the ID functions that can be used.

And now

So how was it? For users who have never used optional searches, please use this opportunity to give it a try.
So, enjoy Sleipnir 3 life!

Thank you!

How to import bookmarks in Sleipnir 3 for Windows

2012-01-17T17:00:00.000+09:00

I would like to introduce to you how to import bookmarks in Sleipnir 3 for Windows.
In Sleipnir 3 for Windows, you can import bookmarks from other browsers, or by synchronization through the FenrirPass service if you are using the iOS or Android version of Sleipnir Mobile.

This dialog is displayed slightly differently depending on whether Aero is enabled or not.

When Aero is enabled in Windows Vista/7

[Import bookmarks] can be located in the displayed menu when the top-left button is clicked.

When Aero is not enabled in Windows XP, Vista/7

The menu bar is displayed by either pressing the ALT key, or by right-clicking the tool bar. You can then find [Import bookmarks] in the [File] menu.

Thank you!

Towards the Sleipnir Family icon

2012-01-13T17:30:00.001+09:00

Sleipnir Family is not just a Web-browser available for different devices.
Each version of Sleipnir; Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, have all been specially designed for their platform.
Today, I would like introduce to you the Sleipnir Family icon.
The common feature of the icons used in Sleipnir is the horse. This horse is designed like the knight used in chess.
First of all, the Sleipnir 3 for Windows icon.

Sleipnir 3 for Windows

This version uses a square shape. Actually, you may not have noticed, but the helm design used in Sleipnir 2 is displayed in the background of the logo.
We used a square icon instead of a round icon because we think it would be more accepted by our Sleipnir users.

Sleipnir 3 for Mac

The Sleipnir 3 for Mac logo is round. Sleipnir Mobile for iPhone/iPad was release beforehand which also used a roundish design. Because desktop browser icons are usually round, we decided to provided users with what they are familiar with.

Sleipnir for iPhone/iPad

Because Safari also uses blue, we decided to use blue in the background of this logo so users do not feel any awkwardness. Also, we simplified the knight icon we use for Sleipnir specially for the iPhone/iPad version. Looks cute, right. The smooth and shiny really suits the iPhone/iPad.

Sleipnir for Android

The Android version was released next. Even though you may of thought it was the same icon, it isn't! The shadowing and feeling has been specifically designed for the Android. You should be able to see that even the blue is very different if you look closely. Providing the best icons is the passion of our designers.

Sleipnir Mobile for Windows Phone

This is the icon of the Windows Phone version of Sleipnir, also square shaped just like the Windows version.
We designed it to suit the tile design in Windows Phone, providing a more subtle design.
And that is everything! Try using Sleipnir Family with your device or PC.
You can even sync bookmarks using the Fenrir Pass service.
Thank you!

5 functions to make effective use of tab groups in Sleipnir 3 for Windows

2012-01-13T17:30:00.000+09:00

Tab groups is a new addition to Sleipnir 3 for Windows. The tab groups function itself is also available for Sleipnir Mobile, but there are some functions that are only available for Sleipnir 3 for Windows.
So this time, I would like to introduce a few functions to make effective use of tab groups.

1. Group together and bookmark all tabs in a tab group

Tabs in a tab group can be grouped together and bookmarked in one go by dragging a tab group and dropping it in the bookmark bar or panel. When you do this, the group name is automatically used as the folder name.

This can also be achieved by right clicking a tab group and clicking "Save as bookmark".

The following dialog is displayed.

2. Create a tab group for searching

When you do not want to mix searches with other tabs, you can insert a check in Tools | Customize | Tab group | Group search results.

By doing this, when you perform a search in the search bar, a tab group for searching is created and searches are added in tabs in that tab group.

3. Create a tab group to group the same domain names

Drag a tab downwards and drop it in [Group by domain] in the displayed menu.

Also by selecting [Group by parent-child relationship] you can group together tabs that have been opened from that tab.

4. Change the tab group icon

If the majority of tabs in a tab group are from the same domain, the favicon of that domain is automatically displayed.
However, you can also change this manually by right clicking a tab group and selecting [Change icon].

5. Change the color of a tab group

The color of tab groups are automically set to a color not being used out of the 20 available colors. However, colors can also be set by the user.
Customize the tab group color by right clicking a tab group and selecting [Change group color].

And so that is the end of my brief description of the 5 tab group functions I wanted to introduce.
Also, if you use (1),(2),or (3), you can perform many searches, and then group them together and then bookmark all those tabs in the same group, and then if you want to delete all the search results in one go later on.
You can also perform functions such as [Close all tabs] or [Refresh all tabs] with the TouchPaging gestures, so please feel free to check them out.
If you still have not tried out the tab groups, then I definitely recommend you to give them a go!

Thank you!

How to use Sleipnir 3 for Windows

2012-01-10T17:00:00.000+09:00

Sleipnir 3 for Windows

Most internet users out there probably just keep to the same functions they have been using since they started surfing the internet many many years ago.

You may be totally oblivious to the ever-evolving browser market, or just don't really care, but there are some really useful functions being used these days.

Some functions are so obvious, but you may just never have realized they exist. Other functions require a bit more effort to use effectively.

I know just how much effort it takes to learn and start using new functions, so I have listed and explained the functions available in Sleipnir 3 below.

Tabs

Tabs are the new necessity of the web-browser world. I remember the days when we forced to open countless new windows.
This felt so disorganized, slowed computers down to breaking point, and was a real pain to deal with later on.
However, recently instead of opening new windows, you can now open new tabs which are all organized and displayed neatly at the top of the page.
Sleipnir 3 excels in tab-usage by provide tabs that open extremely quickly.

Also tabs can be controlled in many new and different ways.

-Drag and drop a tab between other tabs in the tabs bar to move and organize tabs
-Drag and drop a tab into the active window/address bar to open/refresh it
-Drag and drop a tab into the search bar to search for the link of that tab in your desired search engine
-Double click a tab to protect/unprotect it(Protecting tabs prevents a tab from being accidentally closed)
-Hold down a link to open it in a new tab
-Click the "X" on the right hand side of a tab to close that tab
-Hover over a tab for a few seconds to display options for that tab
-Open a new tab by click the plus symbol on the right of the last tab
-Display open tabs in a list by click the downwards arrow to the right of the last tab
-Open a recently closed tab by clicking the clock symbol to the right of the tab bar
-Drag and drop a tab into the bar above to open it in a new tab group(tab groups explained below)
-Drag and drop a tab into a tab group above to move it to that tab group

Tab groups

Open a new tab group by clicking the plus symbol at the right side of the last tab group
Display/Hide tab groups by clicking the box with two buttons displayed to the left of the tab bar
Display tab groups in a list by clicking the downwards arrow at the right hand side of the last tab group
Refresh all tab groups by clicking the box with 2 green arrows displayed at the right end side of the tab groups bar
Close a tab group by clicking the "X" on the right hand side of that tab group

Gestures

Control your web-browser just like when using a tablet device just by using your mouse.
By performing certain movements when holding down the right-click button on your mouse, you can activate many various functions.

TouchPaging using gestures with Sleipnir 3 for Windows

Now I want to introduce gestures to efficiently use TouchPaging.

Many of you might read this and initially think "But gestures can only be done on a touch-screen device, right?". Well not exactly.
Yes, Sleipnir 3 is a PC web browser, and we are not at the point in time where normal PC monitors use touch-screens.
However, with Sleipnir 3, you can experience the same easy-browsing felt on portable touch-screen devices by using the mouse.
Normally the mouse is used to move the cursor, but by holding down the right-click button and then performing a movement, it is possible to perform various gestures.
This makes it possible to quickly move between tabs and flick to other parts of a page which we call TouchPaging.

The gestures that can be used for TouchPaging are displayed below.

Default Mouse Assigned Keys

The default mouse assignments are listed below.

Push wheel up while holding down right-click button-> Previous Tab
Push wheel down while holding down right-click button-> Next Tab
Push wheel up while holding down left-click button-> Back
Push wheel down while holding down left-click button-> Forward

Full-screen mode

You can enter full-screen mode by clicking the black box with a square and an arrow pointing up-right just below the "X" at the top right of the page.
With the increase in functions being added to web-browsers over the years, you probably have found your web-browser etc. using up way too much space to display these functions.
In order to deal with lack of space efficiency, the new trend is to make web-browser space-efficient, and clever.
When you want to watch videos or read comics and books online, sometimes there is no full-screen mode normally. This usually occurs in sites with advertisements.
In this situation, you probably would feel much more comfortable viewing your desired media with as little unnecessary content on the screen as possible.
This is where the full-screen mode really comes in useful.
However, with Sleipnir 3, the full-screen mode offers a lot lot more.
Firstly, tabs are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Not only can the contents be viewed as a thumbnail, but you can also scroll through the tabs without having to actually change the active page.
You can use gestures in full-screen mode. This really provides the atmosphere of a tablet device.

Bookmarks

Import bookmarks using the bookmark import function.
Even if you really like a different browser, the hassle of dealing with all your bookmarks can really put you off switching to your desired browser.
However, with the bookmark import function you can import all your bookmarks in no time at all.
The bookmark import function can currently be used for importing from the following sources.

Internet Explorer/Grani
Sleipnir 1
Sleipnir 2
Google Chrome
Firefox
HTML file
Opera
Lunascape

Useful web-browser shortcuts

Alt + A Go to address bar
Alt + D Go to search bar
Ctrl + T Open new tab
Ctrl + F Find on page
Ctrl + W Close an active tab/page

Advanced functions

Change the engine

When using Sleipnir 3, pages can currently be displayed for the following engines:
Internet Explorer 7
Internet Explorer 8
Gecko

FenrirFS 2.2 released.

2011-12-20T11:00:00.000+09:00

Layered Label Groups

So what exactly is this layered label groups? Simply, it is a function to [create label groups in label groups]. Until now, label groups have only been one layer, so when labels increased a lot, the number of label in a single group became so much that it would be difficult to find labels quickly.

With the layered label groups, labels are better managed, making it easier to find labels.

How to make child label groups

Firstly, in the original order, a dialogue box for creating a label group is displayed.If you select [Add Label Group] from the bottom menu, a dialogue for adding label groups like the bottom image is displayed.

After the add label group dialogue, input the group name, and select the parent group and click OK. The child groups are displayed a little to the right when using the drop down list from the parent group.

If you select [Unset] in the parent group, it becomes a top level group.

It is also possible to drag and drop groups from the label list, and turn them into a child group.

In addition to functions, we have also added Chinese as a displayable language, so please feel free to update to the newest version of FenrirFS.

Please download for free from here!

Thank you.

2. Accessing window.external(13%)
3. Using the Trident compatability switching function(5%)

There were also errors occurring with Trident and some of the plug-ins it uses, but were able to create solutions for the top 3 issues for 3.0.4.

We will continue to work towards improving stability. Please help us by providing your feedback.
Thank you.

For users using 3.0.4 who still have the problem where bookmarks are undone, you may be able to solve the problem by deleting the FenrirFS profile.

Chinese Version Added

In addition to English version being added, now it is available in Chinese.

If you find any strange translations or any functions that feel unnatural, we would be most thankful if you could let us know.

We have added the most surprisingly enjoyable new function this year.

Download Sleipnir Mobile for iPhone / iPad for free from App Store.

Transfer with somebody nearby
In v1.7 of Sleipnir Mobile, you can now easily exchange pages with your friends! There are many people travelling during the New Years season. So, say for example, that you find a wonderful holiday plan when planning your trip with your family. Rather than showing it to your family on a small screen, why not just transfer everything to their devices! Talk about what activities you want to do while looking at everything on your own iPhone or iPad.

Also, during the Christmas season, you often get the chance to meet people you rarely see usually. Why not use this function to show relatives and family members your newly started Facebook page, or pages that you made you laugh out loud.

This new function[Transfer with somebody nearby] uses bluetooth to exchange pages through Sleipnir Mobile. This function is made very easy because devices connect to eachother directly. Also available for iPhone and iPad.

How To Use:
Firstly, you need to connect. Please select [Transfer with somebody nearby] from toolbar in Sleipnir Mobile. Tap the device name of the person you want to connect with.

The device trying to connect will be displayed in the screen of the other person. Tap the button to start.

And that is it. Once this has been finished, all you need to do is select [Transfer this page] to transfer pages to the other person.

Also, for people who only want to stay connected for one transfer, just switch on [Transfer individually] on the first connection screen. Only the tabs opened at that time will be transferred. Much faster for when exchanging just a little bit of information.

Please feel free to try out this new function, and enjoy a much more lively conversation with your family and friends.

Please download for free from here.

Have you installed IE8?

Hi, everyone!

Have you installed Internet Explorer 8?
(Internet Explorer 8 is for operating system, WindowsXP or newer. Please visit the site below for more details and download)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/default.aspx

Sleipnir uses Internet Explorer engine so when you install IE8, Sleipnir can use your updated IE engine. If you are using WindowsXP/ Vista and still have not installed the newest version yet, please install. It can solve issues such as Sleipnir sometimes seems to be heavy or freezes.

You can uninstall IE8 easily if problems occur after installing it, so we recommend you to install Internet Explorer 8.

Important Note: Sleipnir default security does not work appropriately on some operation environments

2009-02-12T13:32:00.000+09:00

by Nami

We have received reports from users that Sleipnir default security does not work appropriately on some operation environments.

We checked the case and confirmed that the issue occurs with specific conditions and procedures with Internet Explorer 7 or higher. It may affect Sleipnir with customized default security setting.

Please follow the steps below to avoid the issue:

Sleipnir download page

Copy new unpacked IEBrowser.fx to the folder.

After that, please check if Sleipnir works appropriately.

Vulnerability of Internet Explorer

2008-12-17T15:49:00.001+09:00

by Okura
Microsoft announced that newly found security flaw affects all version of Internet Explorer from IE5 to the latest beta IE8.

Sleipnir is using the same engine as Internet Explorer so this issue can also affect Sleipnir.

Microsoft is now seeking its solutions.

What we can do for now until Microsoft announces its urgent patch or solution is:

*Enable automatic Windows update for the next update
→If you are using Windows XP,
Control panel/ Security center/ Enable Automatic update

*Disable Javascript to make Sleipnir more secure
→Menu bar/ Tools/ Sleipnir Options/ View/ Trident
Uncheck the box of “Enable JavaScript”

*Update your Windows when Microsoft announces its patch or update
→They are plan to release its patch on December 17th in the US time
For details, please see the reference below

You can avoid its influence limiting execution of scripts. When you visit a site which requires scripts, please pay attention to the page security. You can set security changing security mode on the status bar. This is urgent announcement and information so this might not be accurate for 100%.

If we received new information, we will let you know in this blog.

Thank you.

Hi, everyone! We are in winter now in Japan. It's been cold!!

I think it has snowed in north part of Japan but no snow yet in where we are!
And around this time we started hearing Christmas songs everywhere!

Christmas is just around the corner! Some of you may not celebrate Christmas because of your culture or religion.

We, most of Japanese are not Christians, but we celebrate Christmas. We usually exchange presents, and eat Christmas cake (Big cake with a small Santa Claus shaped candy on it )with family, boyfriend or girlfrend. Ummm... I love cakes!

Anyways, present is also important for Christmas so we have a small Christmas present for you ;-)

Let's use and enjoy IEPanelEx / IEDockEx (5) – IEDockEx part 2

2008-12-12T10:51:00.000+09:00

by Mr.X

Hi, guys! I'm Mr. X!

☆Outline of the previous blog

・Tried IEPanel
・Set IEPanelEx
・Set also IEDockEx
・I got tired of eating ramen

So did you get a big picture of IEPanelEx and IEDockEx?

This is the last blog about IEPanelEx / IEDockEx. Today I'll talk and explain about IEDockEx sample.
I continue this from the previous blog. So before starting this, please read the previous blogs and create “TestDock.”

*IEPanelEx / IEDockEx are softwares under development in our Laboratory!

☆Let's create something that moves

This is the last blog of IEPanelEx / IEDockEx, so let's create something special, something that moves like an application! OK! Let's create a sample!
1.Open “<Sleipnir installfolder>/plugins/IEDockEx/TestDock/config.ini” in text editor
2.Lines below “Setting” should be like this:

[Settings]
Action=true
ContextMenu=false
ScrollBar=false
Align=top
Size=40

Change this as below:

[Settings]
Action=false
ContextMenu=true
ScrollBar=false
Align=right
Size=100
URL=http://www.fenrir.co.jp/labs/web/flickrDock/index.html

3.Restart Sleipnir

Then...

*The dock displays the newest images on the “Flickr”
・It gets information from RSS so you don't have to log in Flickr

*Click on a picture to open it in an active tab
*At default,
・Photos are automatically updated every one minute (You can set its interval)
・It gets all updated information (you can limit information using key word search)

So let's call it “flickrDock” for now.

One file has all HTML/ style/ scripts, so you can see the source selecting “View source” from the right click menu and save it. You can use it to see the source, modify it etc. though it's a bit hard to read.

Let me explain a bit more...

☆How to use and set it

*The dock can display 20 images at the maximum
*You can go to settings screen clicking the heart mark on the right top on the dock

*You can set update interval and use key word search for images
・Your settings are saved in Cookie for a week

*You can change dock size and place to display changing the config.ini, “Align=,” “Size=” like below (you need to restart Sleipnir):

・to display one line horizontally at the bottom

Align=bottom
Size=126

・to display vertically on the left of the dock

Align=left
Size=190

☆Technical description for web developers

* Here we use Cookie to save settings. You can also use Action to save data base or text files. As simple samples using Cookie,
・Your used key words for search are also saved in Cookie so please set the dock without writing anything if you prefer not to save the words. Cookie will be deleted.
・You cannot use IEDockEx DOM from Action, so if you use Action to save data base, it can be complicated.
・For more details, please search source code in “Cookie”
・When you write scripts by yourself, please do not save important information such as IDs or pass words in Cookie

*It gets information from Flickr that is using JSONP. So you can use the dock in the same way if the web pages have API service that gives information in JSON.
・Please refer the last 10 lines in “function loadJsonp.”

So how did you like “Let's use and enjoy IEPanelEx / IEDockEx” series?
I wrote 5 blogs about this topic but I don't think I explained enough!!!

But I just hope this blogs will give you motivation to create something nice! If you create something nice, please write comments and let me know :-)

I hope you enjoyed my blogs!
Thank you very much and I'll see you soon!

2008-12-09T17:00:00.000+09:00

by Mr. X

Hi, guys! I'm Mr. X!

☆Outline of the previous blog

・Tried IEPanel
・Set IEPanelEx
・I ate ramen

This time, we will create a countdown timer that we created the last time with IEDockEx.
I continue from the previous blog. Before starting this, please read the previous blogs and create a cont down timer with “TestPanel.”

*IEPanelEx / IEDockEx are softwares under development in our Laboratory!

☆How to use IEDockEx

You can set IEDockEx following the same steps with IEPanelEx. Let's first create “TestDock” as an example.

1.Download “IEDockex” from Fenrir Lab

2.Select “Expand all” from the right click menu

3.If you are using Sleipnir for Windows 2000/XP/Vista, use “unicode” folder. If you are using Windows 98/98SE/Me, use a file in “mbcs” folder.

4.Change a folder name from “<expandedfolder>/plugins/
IEDockEx/IEDockEx” to “<expandedfolder>/plugins/IEDockEx/TestDock”

5.Change a folder name from“<expandedfolder>/plugins/panel/IEDockEx.fx” to “<expanded folder>/plugins/panel/TestDock.fx”

6.Copy expanded folders, “unicode” (or mbcs) and all the files below “unicode,” and paste it below “<Sleipnir installfolder>”

7.Find “Dock” in “<Sleipnir installfolder>/pref/plugins.ini”, and add “Dock7=TestDock.fx” referring other lines. (Dock7 on the example below is added part. If the “Dock7” is already there, please add as “Dock8” )

8.Restart Sleipnir

Now there is a dock on the bottom of the window. It shows sample actions.

☆Let's count down with the timer

Let's count down with the timer created with IEPanelEx on the previous time. We can make the timer count down with IEDockEx using the same scripts, HTML and JavaScript used for the IEPanelEx .

1.Copy “<Sleipnir installfolder>/plugins/IEDockEx/TestDock/cindex.html” to somewhere for back up
2.Copy“<Sleipnir installfolder>/plugins/IEPanelEx/TestPanel/index.html” and overwrite it on “<Sleipnir installfolder>/plugins/IEDockEx/TestDock/index.html”
3.Restart Sleipnir

Now displayed on the dock!

You can open and close dock from “Veiw-> Dock-> TestDock” on the menu bar.

Also now you can use an action, “ShowTestDock” to choose to display or not to display the dock. If you register it to mouse gestures, for example, you can use it very easily.

☆Change place to display the dock

You can change place to display the dock with IEDockEx editing config.ini. Let's move the dock to the top.

1.Open “<Sleipnir insrallfolder>/plugins/IEDockEx/TestDock/config.ini” in text editor
2.Save it after changing “Align=bottom” to “Align=top”
3.Restart Seipnir

Now you can see the dock on the top.

Other than that, you can change width of and set to display or not to display the scroll bar etc. For more details, please refer config.ini.

☆Today's key points!

*You can create IEDockExs changing file names.
・Follow the same steps as IEPanelEx. Change the file name, “TestPanel” to a different one.

*You can change factions of IEDockEx adding lines on config.ini
・Other than settings of IEPanelEx, you can also set “Align=” and “Size=” etc.

*You can use "show action" by setting IEDockEx
・When using name, TestDock, you can select to display or not to display the dock with an action named "ShowTestDock "for example.

☆Next blog...

Ahhhhh... I kind of get tired of eating ramen! I'll finish eating and talking about “Autumn is the best season to eat food!” and I'll talk something about art for the next time (Please refer “Let's use and enjoy IEPanelEx / IEDockEX (1) – IEPanel” to know why it's said that autumn is good season to eat and work on artistic activities in Japan)

Thank you!!

The second arc of our history

2008-11-14T15:54:00.000+09:00

by Miki

Have you read our history and secret?
http://www.fenrir-inc.com/us/history/

We will mark the 3rd anniversary of the founding of Fenrir Inc on November 16th. Our history is on "History page" above but here I'd like to talk more details about how and why our company philosophy was created.

As history shows that his PCs for software development were stolen three years ago and he lost all the source codes of Sleipnir. So he had no choice but to give up Sleipnir. After the accident, he was so shocked that he could not get out of his bed for a week.

He had already huge number of users in Japan at that time. And when he reported this accident, it became big news and he received lots of encouraging messages from users. Also some users even started contacting with each other and they tried to support him.

He re-realized that he was supported by many users and decided to re-create Sleipnir from the beginning. This accident deepened more communication with users.

"Provide happiness for users through software," "creating software for users" now became company philosophy of Fenrir Inc.

We have started advancing into the global market since this year. We would like to communicate actively with users as same as Japan around the world and create and offer continuously more enhanced browser for users.

We have received lots of supports and warm messages since we created Sleipnir. We keep making our best efforts to offer high custamizable, highly quality, and elegant designed browser for YOU!!

Thank you very much for using Sleipnir and your kind support!

by Mr.X

It's getting cooler and cooler. It's a good season to eat hot hot ramen! Ummmm...

Hi, guys! I'm Mr. X! Give me ramen!

☆Outline of the previous blogs

・Tried IEPanel
・Set IEPanelEx

Today's topic is “how to create something more with simple HTML and JavaScript.”
I continue form the previous blog. Before starting this, please read the previous blog and create “TestPanel.”

*IEPanelEx / IEDockEx are softwares under development in our Laboratory!

☆Before you start...

1.Open “<Sleipnir installfolder>/plugins/IEPanelEx/TestPanel/config.ini” in text editor
2.Delete the line, “URL=http://www.fenrir-inc.com/”
--------------------------------------------------------------
[Settings]
Action=true
ContextMenu=true
ScrollBar=true
DropTargey=true
---------------------------------------------------------------
3.Copy index.html to somewhere for your back up (you can find it in the same folder where config.ini is in)
4.Restart Sleipnir

TestPanel will be displayed like this

☆Let's create original panel!
Are you ready? OK, then, let's edit index.html. After opening it in the text editor and delete all the lines, write as follows and save it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
  <head>
    <title>TestPanel</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Test
  </body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------------

Right click on the panel and select “Refresh”

Changed!

You can display your favorite contents just editing index.html. You can use JavaScript too.
---------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
  <head>
    <title>TestPanel</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <inputtype="button"value="Click"onclick="alert('Click');">
  </body>
</html>
---------------------------------------------------------------

Let's create a count down timer!
---------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
  <head>
    <title>TestPanel</title>
    <script>
      var TIMER = 5;
      var COUNT = TIMER;
      var TH;
      function startTimer() {
        if (COUNT <= 0)
          COUNT = TIMER;
        TH = setInterval(function() {
          COUNT -= 1;
          if (COUNT <= 0) {
            clearInterval(TH);
            alert('Finish');
          }
        }, 1000);
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <input type="button" value="Click" onclick="startTimer();">
  </body>
</html>
---------------------------------------------------------------

It keeps counting down though you close the panel. I always set “var TIMER = 180” to time for instant noodle. So I can enjoy surfing the Internet without forgetting the best time for noodle!! Ready to eat Ramen!!

☆Next blog...

When you use this as a timer, you can add more, such as STOP button or a function to show time of counting down etc... what...? I cannot hear you...

“Taking too much space :-(”

......Yeah. I know... Whole panel is displayed for just one button. Yes, you are right! Taking too much space...
So the next time, I'll introduce IEDockEx that doesn't take that much space.

Thank you!

Note:
When you use Javascript with IEPanelEx, you may receive a warning message “To help protect your security, your web browser has restricted to access.” because of “Security setting of execution of Active X.” If you try to display a reliable page, you can allow its dieplay selecting “Allow Blocked Content” from the click menu.

Please select “Yes” on the next warnig window saying “Are you sure you want to let this file run active content?”

by Mr.X

Hello, guys! I'm Mr. X.

The last time, I introduced IEPanel and talked too long (maybe) and went to bed too late so my skin becomes rough now!! Oh, no!! So this time, I'd like to talk about IEPanelEx simply so that my skin returns to beautiful and smooth... Anyways,

☆Outline of the previous blog

・Let's use and enjoy IEPanelEx / IEDockEx
・But firstly, introduced IEPanel
・Next, talk about IEPanelEx

So this time, I'll explain how we can do the same with IEPanel using IEPaneEx.

*IEPanelEx / IEDockEx are softwares under development in our Laboratory!

☆How to use IEPanelEx

Before using IEPanelEx, we need to copy a file manually, so let me explain it. We will create a panel named “TestPanel.”

1.Download IEPanelEx from Fenrir Lab.
2.Select “Extract all” from the right click menu

3.If you are using Sleipnir on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, use “unicode” folder. If you are using Windows 98/98SE/Me, use a file in “mbcs” folder.

4.Change a folder name from “<expandedfolder>/plugins/IEPanelEx/IEPanelEx” to “<expandedfolder>/plugins/IEPanelEx/TestPanel”

5.Change a file name from “<expandedfolder>/plugins/panel/IEPanelEx.fx” to “<expandedfolder>/plugins/panel/TestPanel.fx”

6.Copy expanded folders, “unicode” (or mbcs) and all the files below “unicode,” to below “<Sleipnir installfolder>”

7.Find “Panel” in “<Sleipnir installfolder>/pref/plugins.ini”, and add “Panel5=TestPanel.fx” referring other lines. (Panel5 on the example below is added part. If the “Panel5” is already there, please add “Panel6”. # means disable orders so you don't have to add # line.)

8.Restart Sleipnir

Then you find one more icon on the explore bar.

When you select the new icon, you can see a link list as a sample.

You can also execute actions.

You can do a lot with this panel. Let's set it to execute the same action as IEPanel and display some web sites!

1.Open “<Sleipnir installfolder>/plugins/IEPanelEx/TestPanel/config.ini” in text editor.
2.Change “ContextMenu=false” to “ContextMenu=true”
3.Change “ScrollBar=false” to “ScrollBar=true”
4.Add “DropTarget=true” at the bottom
5.Add also “URL=http://www.fenrir-inc.com/” to the bottom

6.Restart Sleipnir

☆Today's key points!

*You can create IEPanelExs(plural) changing file name.
・Repeat the steps above changing file name, “TestPanel”

*You can change actions of IEPanelEx adding lines on config.ini
・“URL=” is for specifying URL. The same index.html in a config.ini file will be
displayed if you do not specify the URL.
・“ScrollBar=” is for whether display the scroll bar.
・“ContextMenu=” is for whether display right click menu or not
・“DropTarget=” is for whether allow drag & drop to the panel

For more details, please refer config.ini.

For the next time, I'll talk about “how to create something more with easy HTML and JavaScript,” “who is Mr. X?” or “Mr. X, mysteriously disappeared.” I'm going to talk about one of them. So don't miss it!!

Thank you!

by Mr. X

Now it's getting a little bit cold and we have started feeling autumn in Japan.
In Japan, we say that autumn is the good season to play sports, work on artistic activities, and eat delicious food because fruits like grapes, apples or chestnuts, saury(fish) and other lots of food are in season. Autumn is also not too hot, not too cold, so it's a good season to enjoy various activities!

But I'm not good at both sports and art so I'd like to enjoy this autumn with IEPanelEx / IEDockEx!
Today I'm going to explain about this 2 plug-ins so that someone like me can enjoy great autumn!!!!

* IEPanelEx / IEDockEx are softwares under development in our Laboratory!

☆What is IEPanelEx / IEDockEx?
“IEPanelEx? IEDockEx? What are they?”

We are introducing them in Fenrir Laboratory. I'll explain them to you in a very simple way.

・IEPanelEx is a panel displayed on the explore bar dock, the same place as Haedline-Reader Plugin”, “Favorites”, or “Browsing history.”
・IEDockEx is displayed on its own dock. You can change and set its size and position freely from its setting file.

“I don't understand panel, dock :-( What are they???”

Oh...., ok, firstly let me explain IEPanel. IEPanelEx is an extended edition of IEPanel. So I'll introduce you starting from IEPanel-> IEPanelEx-> IEDockEx. I think it's easier to understand.

☆Let's try IEPanel!
Let's use IEPanel first! (You need to restart Sleipnir to make the software enable)

1.Select “Tools-> Change design-> Plugin” from the menu bar
2.Check the box of “Show pre-installed plugins”

3.Wow!! you can see a list of many many plug-ins. Select “IEPanel (pre-install) (Disable)” and click “Enable” on the left bottom corner

4.Click “Restart” on the right bottom and restart Sleipnir

Then...

you can see another icon on the explore bar. Let's click it!

Ahhhhhh... Oh no!!!!! Blank page :-< Just kidding :-P OK, this time, let's drag & drop icon on the left side of the address bar.

Yes!! It opens!! You can use it in a different way from the regular tab display.

But you have to be careful because once you close Sleipnir, it'll go back to a blank page again :-(
If you don't want to drag &drop every time, you can edit setting file and save it following these steps.

1.Close Sleipnir
2.Open “<Sleipnirinstallfolder>/settings/<username>/setting/IEPanel/IEPane.ini” in text editor
3.Write URL you open with IEPanel on the first line
4.Save it, finish the text editor and start Sleipnir

Then you can display your saved site every time when you open Sleipnir.

So how can you use???

・You can display Google search like this...

・You can display Yahoo like this...

・Or calender like this...

Ummm... You can do a lot!

☆Next blog...

So how do you like IEPanel?

“Only one panel? Can we have more?”
Yes, you can have IEPanels (plural) and also add functions to it with IEPanelEx!! Well, I'll introduce how to use IEPanelEx for the next time... hopefully...

OK. I worked too hard today!! Too much work is not good for your skin, right? so I'm going to bed now! Good night... Sweet dreams... ZZZzzzzz

Thank you and see you soon!!!

http://www.fenrir-inc.com/us/sleipnir/note.html

If you use Sleipnir on Windows 98 / 98SE / Me / 2000, we strongly recommend you toupdate Sleipnir to the latest version since vulnerabilities of GdiPlus.dll have been reported.

If you are using Windows XP / Vista and apply the latest Windows Update, it is not affectedby the reported vulnerabilities because Sleipnir uses GdiPlus.dll in its system folder.

Fenrir has launched its Developers Blog.

2008-09-15T17:27:00.000+09:00

Dear Sleipnir users around the world,

More and more people around the world have started using Sleipnir since we opened
our global site in June this year (We are trying to develop Sleipnir in other languages as well.
If you could help us, that would be great!!).

We have tried to spread Sleipnir for 3 years in Japan and we have sent developers' messages and
communicated with many users directly, especially through “Developers' Blog.”

So we decided to translate “Developers' Blog” into English when it is updated to communicate with
users around the world through the blog.

We will continue to come up with surprising ideas to develop Sleipnir from now on.

We are looking forward you to join this blog and waiting to hear comments from you!

Software provides Happiness
Software meets Design

Sincerely yours,
Miki
