The Ultimate Screen Clock 6 Revision 5 _______________________________________________________________________ The Ultimate Screen Clock 6 has been updated. This release: - Adds the Ion Drive animated clock style. Largely defying description, this one looks like it belongs on a really up-market installer space ship. It comes in three sizes and a wealth of color palettes. - Adds a Days Until window. Enter as many future events as you like - Days Until will keep track of them, and provide you with an updated count of the days until they arrive every time you open its window. Days Until will keep track of specific dates, and of repeating dates that occur every year. It will also optionally alert you when your events happen. To access Days Until, select Calendar from the right-click menu, and then select Days Until from the sub-menu that appears. - Adds a perpetual calendar - select Calendar from the right-click menu, and then select Perpetual Calendar from the sub-menu that appears. - Splits the by now somewhat vast library of clock styles into two installers. Installing The Ultimate Screen Clock itself will install a wealth of clock styles. You can optionally install The Ultimate Screen Clock Extra Styles library to access still more of them. There's no additional cost for the Extra Styles library - we've handled the styles this way because things were getting a bit immense with all the styles in one installer. You can download the Extra Styles library by visiting The Ultimate Screen Clock's web page, below, or by opening the right-click menu in The Ultimate Screen Clock, selecting Styles and then selecting Download Additional Clock Styles from the sub-menu that appears. NOTE: If you have previously selected a clock style that has migrated to the extra library, you might encounter a warning about The Ultimate Screen Clock proving to be unable to access your clock when this release first boots up. This isn't a problem - just install the Extra Styles library and restart The Ultimate Screen Clock. Alternately, select a different clock style. - Addresses a potential security issue - if you're using The Ultimate Screen Clock, we urge you to upgrade to this release pretty much immediately. - Updates the Select Styles window. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation. You can download The Ultimate Screen Clock 6 from: http://www.mindworkshop.com/clock.html#download ........................................................................ UPGRADES If you have previously registered or upgraded to The Ultimate Screen Clock 4 or The Ultimate Screen Clock 5, you can upgrade to The Ultimate Screen Clock 6 for half the cost of a new single-user license. Please see: http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html to upgrade: _______________________________________________________________________ 2. PNG MNG Construction Set 6 Revision 7 (Second Notification) _______________________________________________________________________ PNG MNG Construction Set 6 has been updated. This release: - Updates the Favorites window... quite a lot. This release fixes several fairly nettlesome bugs, improves the user interface and adds an option to have double-clicking on a Favorites item open the corresponding animation as a PNG MNG Construction Set document, and close the Favorites window. The latter behavior can be disabled in Setup, if you prefer the original response to double-clicking. - Improves the color management logic in Animation Wizard and Combine. - Fixes a potential user interface issue in the View window. - Improves Reconstruct - aside from its use in the Reconstruct item in the Block menu, it turns up in various other functions. - Addresses a potential security issue - if you're using PNG MNG Construction Set, we urge you to upgrade to this release pretty much immediately. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation. You can download PNG MNG Construction Set 6 from: http://www.mindworkshop.com/pngpro.html#download ........................................................................
