All rights reserved. en-us cuttheredwire news ColorPad, after a long period of dormancy, has had an unexpectedly fast code revamp and release. CodePad has a newer alpha uploaded too. ColorPad is a popular skinnable color picking program; one that's been around for years. This latest release "add(s) support for floating point number format ... commonly used by OpenGL and Direct X". Release notes are in the download (way down in colorpad.txt). The author thought is would take much longer to complete the new version. He only began work on revamping the code in the past few days. Revived activity in an old favorite like this one is more than welcomed. In other news, CodePad has newer alpha (v0.15) uploaded. CodePad is a free-form, skinnable text editor aiming to handle syntax highlighting for HTML and possibly other languages. Bugs will be obvious if you view HTML in it, but it does have basic functionality. You can open and edit text files, which is more than the last alpha I had could do. Still, the author has a renewed interest in the program and plans on improving it. Link: http://matthieu.bizland.com/index.html Chatter: http://www.teknidermy.com/board/index.php/25?

Tonight I got an e-mail from the original author that the site for ColorPad was back on-line. I checked the link, tested the download, and sure enough it was back. Now, this isn't a new version, but hearing from a long lost coder is never a bad sign. My hope is that Val will continue development, and think I speak for the community when I say that. For those wondering: "Why did he contact this guy out of the blue?" It just was so that I could update the archive at skinnables.org, which has long provided a mirror for the app. A warm "thank you" was extended to skinnables.org, and we appreciate the app and the gratitude.

Decided to come back in preparation for some of my little customisation projects I'm planning. I probably won't be here much except when posting my customisation works. p.s. The GAIA Visual (Re)Style has been dropped; since it was for Windows XP, and since my old computer has died (for almost a year), there really is no point in continuing the project - I have actually forgotten about it until I came onto here. Plus, the new GAIA08 project has rendered it obsolete.

Got other things going on right now also so the time spent online will decrease dramatically. Will check in from time to time, take care all. /q Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:27:20 -0500 http://customize.org/blogs/view/334 http://customize.org/blogs/view/334 sujhon blog tips mac pc www.I-exist.co.cc Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:26:37 -0500 http://customize.org/blogs/view/333 http://customize.org/blogs/view/333 kinkihi news JUST TRY TO POST THE FIRST ITEM TO THIS BLOG.
