<p>The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 has been updated. This
release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Corrects the <b>document path</b> where The
Ultimate Screen Clock looks for style overrides,
user-created clocks and other ancillary items. It
was previously set to My Documents/My Screen Clocks
— sadly, a non-existent folder as far as the
software was concerned, rather than My Documents/My
Screen Clocks 9 , as it is now.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p> From last weekend's release:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li> Adds the <b>Radio</b> <b>clock style</b>,
examples of which are illustrated here. The small
graphics don't really do this one justice. <br>
<br>
<img
src="cid:part23.631BF1FB.A9F241F6@mindworkshop.com"
alt="" moz-do-not-send="false" class=""
width="504" vspace="10" hspace="10" height="97"
align="right">Harkening back to a fanciful past —
which is way more fun than a dystopian present — the
Radio style is available in three sizes, with and
without a bezel, and in animated versions in which
its digits cycle, just like back when a personal
computer was about the size of an Amazon warehouse.<br>
<br>
You might want to stand well back from your monitor
if you select one of the Huge style options.<br>
<br>
Note that you'll need to download and install the
extra styles library for The Ultimate Screen Clock
to access all the Radio style options.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the <b>Select Style window</b> to
generate list graphics in the background, to
minimize the delay as <img
src="cid:part24.F5698986.06D6785B@mindworkshop.com"
alt="" moz-do-not-send="false" class=""
width="424" vspace="10" hspace="10" height="73"
align="right">you initially scroll through the
available clocks. The Select Style windows are a lot
more responsive now, and way easier to use. There's
a complete discussion of this functionality in the
section of the Reference document that deals with
selecting styles, and we hasten to mention that it
can be disabled if you don't like it as much as we
did.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the <b>PNG readers and writers</b> in The
Ultimate Screen Clock to address some security
issues. We strongly urge all users of The Ultimate
Screen Clock to update to this version to close
these potential security holes.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses some potential timing issues in the<b>
Net Time</b> functionality.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Improves the <b>clock rendering engine</b>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses a number of<b> GDI and performance

<p>Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated.
This release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixes a bug in the <b>Favorites</b> window that
could prevent it from creating new Favorites
galleries under some configurations of Windows. It
was admittedly, an obscure bug, but we chortled when
it finally became demised.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Further improves the performance of the new <b>View
window</b> update logic. <br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Fixes an embarrassing typo in the View mode
closing save file prompt.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>From last weekend's release:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Rewrites the <b>View mode screen update logic</b>.
It's now shockingly quick. It also has an Optimum
Size mode that will display your pictures to
completely fill the view window, rather than
selecting the nearest integral zoom factor. We
hasten to add that you can select Optimum Size as
the default zoom level in Setup, and you can use the
View mode Configure window to set your middle mouse
button or mouse wheel to toggle between Optimum Size
and 100% zoom.<br>
<br>
Because of the warped structure of the universe,
we're fairly certain that there exists at least one
computer... somewhere... that won't entirely get
along with the improved screen update functionality.
As such, you'll see a message the first time you
open a picture in View to the effect that it can be
reverted to the original banded screen update
functionality. Unselect the Show Me This Message
Again option to avoid seeing it in the future.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Rewrites the <b>thumbnail </b>read functionality
to make Graphic Workshop's browser windows populate
in less time... 'specially under Windows 10, which
is bit lackadaisical about such things.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Fixes a truly pernicious bug in the <b>View mode
Filter window</b> and the batch mode and
right-click Filter windows which could leak
resources and crash things. We urge all users of
Graphic Workshop to update to this version and nail
this insidious little beast before it nails you.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Fixes pretty much the same pernicious bug in the <b>Textures
and Fractals window</b>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Adds the ability to remove permanent thumbnails
from items in the <b>Search</b> window. Hold down
the Ctrl key and click on the thumbnail button.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Changes the behavior of the <b>Add Permanent
Thumbnails</b> function of the Search window —
hold down the Alt key and click on the Thumbnail
button. The previous behavior, which used the Shift
key, could enable the face detection feature of the
thumbnail generator if you didn't release the Shift
key quickly enough.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the documentation.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.<br>
<br>
</li>
