Hover info display went back to ragged edge at Fred's request. I really like the fixed width block though, and hope to have multiple options available for the users soon.

Fred's previously mentioned bug is listed here and has been fixed: http://issues.freeems.org/view.php?id=417

Also finally the look and feel got some attention: http://issues.freeems.org/view.php?id=445
Java's default L&F is the most hideous piece of shit ever produced. It also instantly introduces feelings of cheapness and lameness when end users see it because so many horrible Java programs use it (they don't know any better) giving it even more of a visceral badness than it deserves (if that is possible).

Any good program (sole exception being Justin Frankel's stuff) should follow the L&F of the system it is installed on by default. Our program is no exception.

Fuck iTunes.

Also start/end points have been promoted to more than just fat dots. Likely they will end up as hollow circles. http://issues.freeems.org/view.php?id=446

Sorry no screen shots right now. No one wants to see Windows 95 themed crap anyway I'm sure. ;)

Showing new hollow, start/end dots and honoring system look and feel (Window XP with "Classic" theme).

Why do your colours look SO washed out? Is that XP doing it because you forgot to foreground it before taking the screeny?

No, that is the lossy JPEG algorithm being notoriously horrid when it comes to high contrast single pixel lines on black backgrounds. In PNG it would look perfect. The host I usually use is JPG only though. =/

Version 0.0.2 which includes some improvements and a lot of polishing to the actual graph display is just about ready to mint. After this, focus can finally be moved to other items and eventually that UI overhaul I'm sure everyone's waiting for.

I know I've been absent from the IRC channels lately. I've been getting hammered at work. When things slow down soon you'll see me again.

Still swamped at work, not coming up for air any time soon. Carry on accordingly.
