when i go to download the files i just get a file saying i cant run it in DOS mode, and the rest on the file is gibberish, do you know how i can fix this without having to restart my computer
are you still looking into revamping this? would be really cool to have more characters, maybe could set up a system to also connect notifications with other fan comics
I have tried to download it several times but it always just results in like a blank page icon that shows its not something I have installed that would work? I have shimeji but it's not seeming to work.
Yeah, sure! But I mean it's still open source so if you want you can fork it and do whatever you want with it. You'll probably be able to do a much better job than me anyway, seeing how my code is such a mess hahahaha.
You can close the program from the system tray. If you don't have a system tray (say, you're using a WM in Linux that doesn't have one) you'll have to kill the process from the terminal.
Unfortunately, there's no way to make the characters smaller, sorry. And as I mentioned in the last update, I'm pretty much done with the project. If you know Python, you could take a look at the source code here: https://github.com/botanicEventuality/homestuck-desktop-buddies (it's pretty messy though, since it was my first "big" Python project, and for the most part I wasn't really sure of how to do things) I'm sorry I'm unable to help.
I might just be stupid but i literally cant figure out how to get them off my screen so if anyone knows help me CEYFGGGFHEUI (i mean this as in idk how to stop running the file) (Update: i figured it out im just really stupid)

they are so silly i love them
sick
well. uh. seems like the need for upd8 notifications are once again a worthwhile idea
Yeah, I wasn't expecting HS2 to come back hahahaha. I've been thinking about revamping this project but I'm not yet sure how I would approach it.

absolutely adorable lads and gals, made me really happy to accidentally stumble upon :]
ABSOLUTELY EPIC LIL WIDGET!!
Glad you like it!
10/10, gives me desktop buddies where Homestuck shimeji links failed
would be 100/10 with trolls
I'm glad you liked it!
how do i get rid of the characters
click the icon to toggle
is this available for chrome??
Very Cute, wish they were smaller if anything
absolutely glorious
can you please add the trolls soon?
Sorry, the project is abandoned for the time being. :(
I have tried to download it several times but it always just results in like a blank page icon that shows its not something I have installed that would work? I have shimeji but it's not seeming to work.
Could you share a screenshot? Also, this is a standalone program not related to shimeji.
I know, shimejis just a popular application that also does this as well!

And I also have this issue on all of the versions! Thanks so much for responding I honestly didn't expect anything back. ^^;
Oh! It seems to be a problem with how Windows handles the file extension. Try renaming the file to something like "Homestuck Desktop Buddies.exe"
Oh no! Does it give you any additional information? Could you post your system specs?
is this available for mac? or will it ever be available?
Not for the time being, sorry. However, the source code is publicly available so if you know a little Python you could make it run on your Mac.
uhhh whats a system tray
ill search it on google
that worked
to everyone who's wondering how to close it, go to the system tray and right click the homestuck icon, then press exit
will you be taking pull requests? i love the idea but dont want to turn around and steal yours
Yeah, sure! But I mean it's still open source so if you want you can fork it and do whatever you want with it. You'll probably be able to do a much better job than me anyway, seeing how my code is such a mess hahahaha.
PLS HOW OD I GET RID OF THEM THERE ARE MULTIPLE PLS HEL
