The Ultimate Screen Clock 6 Revision 2 _______________________________________________________________________ The Ultimate Screen Clock 6 has been updated. This release: - Adds the Derelict clock style - technology left behind by a vanished civilization, a faint echo of a forgotten epoch, a dystopian harbinger of a crumbling empire or a rusty old clock with funky neon tubes... your call. Comes in three flavors. - Updates the World Time window to include, among other things, the distance between where you are and where you want to know the time of. Note that the first time you open the World Time window, you'll be prompted to set your current location. Also, in the event that you somewhere that doesn't measure distances in miles, you can select metric units as well. - Adds the Aviation analog clock option, which appears - perhaps not surprisingly - in the Derelict style. - Fixes a number of graphic issues in the Steampunk clock style. - Fixes a bug in the JPEG import library that could crash the application when the JPEG library was confronted with certain pathological data. - Updates a number of functions of the screen saver. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation.
