Click on the book to get there.** *** The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 Revision 4 The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 has been updated. This release: * Adds the *Filaments *style, examples of which are illustrated here. The Filaments style evokes the eldritch forces and cosmic scope of... actually, we have no idea what it evokes, but it looks really cool. The reduced still images of Filaments to your left don't really do the actual clocks justice. You need to see this one live and on your desktop. Filaments comes in six colors and two sizes. The Large size is epic. Note that you'll need to download and install the extra styles library for The Ultimate Screen Clock to access all the Filament style options. * Adds more intuitive mouse wheel support to most of the windows in The Ultimate Screen Clock that include lists. Just roll the wheel to scroll the list in question, even if your mouse pointer isn't anywhere near it. This makes the style selection windows get up and dance. * Fixes a few cosmetic bugs in the validation window. * Adds *WebP* support for those functions in The Ultimate Screen Clock that export pictures. There's an extensive discussion of WebP at our blog . * Adds some new screen saver background graphics. Right-click in The Ultimate Screen Clock, select Styles ? Select Saver Style and click on Transitions. The new graphics include Stellar Nursery, Magma, Quantum Foam and Cymbal. Enable the ones you like the look of. * Updates the screen saver logic. * Improves the *clock rendering engine*. * Addresses a number of*GDI and performance issues* that software developers never really stop meddling with. * Updates the *documentation*.

Upgrades If you have registered or upgraded a registration for The Ultimate Screen Clock 8, we invite you to upgrade to The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 for *half the current new-user price*.

This release: * Adds progress bars to the *GIF and WebP animation windows* to assist you in following the action as an animation plays. * Adds a *Crop* option to the File menu of the Graphic Workshop *View *window. Crop your images directly from within View, rather than saving them to temporary files are bouncing them around the Windows clipboard. * Adds a *Film Grain filter* to the View mode Filters window, to make your start-of-the-art digital photographs look retro, vintage or sufficiently convincing to fool people into believing you haven't aged over the past forty years. If you're too young to know what film grain is, there's an explanation in the Reference section of the Graphic Workshop Manual. (We couldn't make something like this up...) * Adds a handler for *JFIF* files. It has come our attention that in some contexts, JPG files can appear with the file extension .JFIF. Graphic Workshop now interprets these as conventional JPG documents. * The Get Info window for *WebP documents* will now tell you whether they contain still images or animations. Look for the word Animation in the Comments field for the latter. * Fixes a bug in the *Graphic Workshop Window menu*'s application list which previously could prevent Alpha Paint from opening correctly when it was called from within Graphic Workshop, under some builds of Windows. * Addresses a number of issues in the*file association* links introduced in the previous update. When you right-click on a file that Graphic Workshop or one of its ancillary applications knows how to open and select Open With, the appropriate software will appear in in Windows Open With menu and Open With window. * Fixes a problem with the Graphic Workshop*Crop window* that could cause it to momentarily display any application or desktop elements appearing under Graphic Workshop when it closes. * Updates the documentation. * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.

Supported by the current versions of all the major web browsers, it replaces PNG and JPEG with a twenty-first century graphics standard. It allows for true-color imaging and full alpha transparency. There's an extensive discussion of WebP at our blog . * Updates the About window of the screen saver runtime, which appears if someone clicks on the Settings button for a screen saver in the Windows Control Panel. * Improves the download speed of Screen Saver Construction Set's *Remote C**o**ntent* objects. * Updates the document runtime to address a number of minor bugs and to improve its performance. * Addresses a number of *GDI and performance issues* that software developers never really stop meddling with. * Updates the *documentation*.

Graphic Workshop EPS, PS, AI, PDF Plugin Revision 2 ***(additional notification)*** The Graphic Workshop Professional 9 PostScript plugin has been updated.

EPS reader. Click on the blue button to download the Graphic Workshop PostScript (EPS, PS, AI, PDF) Plugin.
