This is the first year my site survived the Saint Nicholas
festivities. All records were scattered, with a peak 247.212 visitors
per day on december 5th. I am extremely pleased with the performance
of my provider:
ipowerweb
. The
past years with
HostRocket
were really troublesome, as they unplugged my site at only +/- 90.000
visitors per day already.

Pressed toolbar steppers get drawn ETCHED_IN now. Menubars now have
their shadow set to NONE, which is generally more consistent. Setup
menu and toolbar icon sizes to Windows defaults. Non-standard color
schemes, for example "Brick", are handled properly now. XP scrollbar
grippers are no longer displayed when they do not fit on the
scrollbar.

The most notable changes in this release are: added a new option
"Block mode" ranging from no blocking (break windows can be freely
dragged around) to full input and screen blocking, added multihead
support for Windows, improved suspend (to ram) support, added "Shut
down" and "Lock" buttons to the break windows. Furthermore, the
stability on Windows improved considerably now that several
longstanding issues have been resolved.

XP scrollbars now have grippers and should be indistinguishable from
native scrollbars. Furthermore, menu items and menu separators are
themed, as well as status bar resize grips. New for developers is the
fact that GTK-Wimp now compiles with MinGW.

I am trying to streamline my blogging, and took some initial steps to
achieve single source blogging. This renders my
Advogato diary
obsolete, but I never actually bothered to maintain that one
anyway. My blog can be syndicated in the following ways:
What remains to be done is to aggregate the relevant bloggings on
the
GTK-Wimp
and
Workrave
sites...
- GTK-Wimp 0.4.3 released

The Gaim buddy icons were still not drawn correctly, even with
0.4.2. This time, I tested the problem more thoroughly and now I
really fixed the problem. So, 0.4.3 should be the best release so
far. Hopefully, it gets included as default into the GTK Windows installer.

Another emergency update. Some changes in 0.4.1 had an unforeseen
impact and were backed out. The trouble was that buddy icons
disappeared in Gaim.

This is a minor update to iron out some bugs. Particularly, obscure
console messages caused by the previous version have been fixed. It
also includes a few new tweaks: tree expanders look a bit better in
the non-XP case now, and the cursor blink time has been adjusted to
follow the Windows setting.

Dom Lachowicz joined in and did most changes for 0.4.0. Most important
changes: enable proper fonts/sizes for menus, status bars. Handle
boxes/panes now do XP style REBAR theming. Toolbars should draw the
REBAR part properly. Menubars and toolbars now are etched-in to mimic
Windows' behavior. Furthermore, scrollbar sizes, radio/check button
sizes, paned sizes tooltip color/font, font preferences including bold
or italic are now all properly adhered to. Thanks, Dom!
