DEV Community: Marco Colonna

Just an idea...

Marco Colonna — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 12:04:25 +0000

What would be useful for creators would be a platform where they could create and organize.

so, this is in brief my idea:

a type of developer community (already, so is good)
the community have a private side, but also has a public front-end where you can publish developed products
this specific type of communities (team-group) has cooperative development tools like real-time chat/video chat, a shared dashboard, etcetera
the dashboard is customizable using HTML/PHP/CSS (and if it is not a security issue, customizzable also using JAVA, with a price OBV... since it costs to host code in a sandbox, not like just HTML/PHP/CSS, same cost as now)

could start with these supported projects (which are easy):

software projects development
hardware projects development
videogames moddding development

these projects are easy to support, and then if the system works well, could be moved on to something more elaborate... scientific/engineering/medical...

the development community should be chosen between these two modes:

for-profit (paying for legal fees)
non-profit (free since it is the same as any other community, with a small fee if a team wants to add, ad example, voice chat, JAVA, etcetera)

under the current sidebar on the right, two banners showing all these communities and their publishing front-ends:

PAID: a prominent banner above shows 4 paid communities
FREE: and only 1 banner below shows the free ones, one at a time; every time a user loads the page, the sidebar 4+1 show other communities)

this way, the social network make more reasoning/innovation/usefulness

people would post stuff, write comments, read projects, visit the front-ends, etcetera, and link the projects...

I tryed to create an image for show my idea, using Gemini, but the result is not good, so... just use your immagination ^_^

SquareCorners v2.1

Marco Colonna — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 23:21:40 +0000

just relased 2.1 of this tweak

is a simple active .exe process running in background to disable the rounded corners in Windows 11 (also some helpfull tutorials in README for novices)

https://github.com/70V07/SquareCorners

the tweak is safe and also a bit customizzable (can add exclusions)

I use this command for compile:

& "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" /target:winexe /reference:System.Windows.Forms.dll /out:"<OUTPUT_PATH>\SquareCorners.exe" "<SOURCE_PATH>\SquareCorners.cs" "<SOURCE_PATH>\SquareCorners\AssemblyInfo.cs"

maybe can be helpfull for someone…

the process running in background

(5-10MB in Task Manager)

I know there is the Valinet patch (which I dont like why change Windows system files) and Windhawk (which I dont use, so I dont want install just for disable rounded corners)

4 tabs File Manager for Windows 10/11+ (prototype)

Marco Colonna — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 18:57:13 +0000

I publish my 4 tabs File Manager app…

https://github.com/70V07/4TABs

ℹ️ all infos on the readme in GitHub repo

4TABs is a four-tab file manager for Windows 10/11+ that aims to enhance file manipulation efficiency through a centralized interface. It offers features like a quad-pane layout, navigation and file management tools, profile management, immersive dark mode, and shell integration. The software is currently an incomplete prototype and is provided as is it without warranty.

TO DO

Localizations: in Italian, and maybe a system for create translation in your other language
Self-made and Community ADDONS: like Tablacus Explorer
Custom themes: self-explanatory

[UPDATED] CSS theme for newReddit (night mode need to be activated).

Marco Colonna — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 23:17:31 +0000

crossposted from my Reddit account ─ original Reddit post

advice: desktop browser theme only (not support for mobile), and newReddit interface users only.

I not will make a version for the oldReddit interface, so... not ask please. I like the new design, the old is ugly and confusing; I know, this theme is is a mess, but is WIP and work, and I like it, so... (here the code).

// check the Gregorian calendar date in this format day.month.year for the last update version.

fully compatible with Dark Reader and Reddit Filter (addons).

updated version: 1.6.2022 (changelog at the end of the post)
