Developer’s Description

By Problink Infocare
Browse Facebook with notifications provided in a system tray.
Simple and stylish Facebook browser for your Windows/Linux PC and Mac. This app provides native Facebook experience in a Facebook styled window plus a system tray icon for providing notifications. This app doesn't disturbs you by popping out notifications, but it notifies you silently by changing the system tray icon color.This app uses a simple approach for delivering notifications in the system tray. It reads the number of notifications, messages and friend requests directly from the facebook page, using Javascript calls, without using any components from Facebook SDK. And, I'm researching on the code of Facebook webpage, more features will come soon!WHAT'S NEW:NOW SUPPORTS THEMES! YOU CAN CHANGE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF YOUR FACEBOOK SESSION WITH COOL COLORS AND THEMES! JUST CLICK ON THE THEME CHOOSER BUTTON NEAR THE NAVIGATION BUTTONS AND CHOOSE THE THEME AND LOVE IT!NO MORE ADS!THE BUILT-IN THEMES ARE DESIGNED TO HIDE ALL ADVERTISEMENTS FROM FACEBOOK! SET YOUR FAVORITE THEME AND BROWSE FACEBOOK FREE OF ADS!CRITICAL BUGFIX:Windows users might experienced a problem of not loading the Facebook page, even the MinGW build of OpenSSL is distributed along with the installer. This issue is fixed in this version. If you already installed the previous buggy package, uninstall it from the control panel, and install the fresh copy downloaded from here. (Direct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66476531/Facebook-1.1-fc13ef2-Setup.exe)(Note: Windows users may experience the app to close unexpectedly. If you got such problems, uninstall the app from the control panel, remove the "Facebook" directory in C:/Users/UserName/.config path, and install again.)
