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
<http://blog.mindworkshop.com/animation/a-quick-introduction-to-webp-graphics-and-animations/>.
* 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*.

Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 15 ***(new this weekend)***
Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. 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.

Screen Saver Construction Set 9Revision 3 ***(additional
notification)***
Screen Saver Construction Set 9 has been Updated. This release:
* Adds *WebP* support — import still images and leading-edge
animations from WebP documents.
The WebP format was developed by Google. 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
<http://blog.mindworkshop.com/animation/a-quick-introduction-to-webp-graphics-and-animations/>.
* 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. This release addresses a number of configuration issues
that could cause the plugin to misread some documents.
It also fixes an installation bug that could prevent it from
correctly configuring Graphic Workshop to use the plugin to display
EPS graphics, rather than its own internal — and less capable — EPS
reader.
Click on the blue button to download the Graphic Workshop PostScript
(EPS, PS, AI, PDF) Plugin.
