New features in ascd 0.13-beta:
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
(it is a big big big release, as I had to redesign or rewrite nearly
|
|
everything in the soft except the CD control functions. So, I'm
|
|
considering this code as beta stage one.)
|
|
|
|
* Visual Themes:
|
|
|
|
Visual themes are now 100% configurable. A theme consist in a description
|
|
file and various pixmaps. You can place any screen element anywhere in the
|
|
window and the icon. Available screen elements:
|
|
|
|
- pixmaps
|
|
- counter
|
|
- track number
|
|
- message area
|
|
- database display area
|
|
- direct access horizontal, vertical and inverted vertical bars
|
|
- hardware volume horizontal, vertical and inverted vertical bars
|
|
- mixer control horizontal, vertical and inverted vertical bars
|
|
|
|
For each element, you specify the *command* to use for the three mouse
|
|
buttons. AScd provides commands to control the general options, the CD
|
|
player and the mixer.
|
|
|
|
AScd is no longer restricted to a "dockable" size. More: In -w mode, it's
|
|
now possible to have different screen layouts for the main window and the
|
|
icon one
|
|
|
|
* Mixer support is back (FreeBSD and Linux are the only supported platforms)
|
|
* New documentation (PostScript) about making new themes
