WCC beta 12 build 135 (16 Feb 2006)

- Progress bar issues fixed

- Some improvements and small bugs fixed

http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc12b135.zip

FYI: 3 steps to install beta 12:

1- install beta 10 (just if you don't have installed WCC before due system files). You can get it here: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...e/1109367710/1

2- install one of the new fonts set (you have to create a "Fonts" folder then a subfolder for each font set, like the "Skins" folder):

Default font: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/Default.zip

Morpheus font: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/Morpheus.zip

3- Now you can test the last beta 12 build: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc12b135.zip

Note: an installer will be made as soon as the font engine is ready, so wait for it if you can't figure how to install it out.

Have fun! :)

@carlos: with this latest built http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc12b135.zip i am unable to c any progress bar or title name.

In addition, please check:

1) you have properly installed at least one font;

2) "Skin Manager>Notifier Lines": the "Text size"

WCC beta 12 build 142 (20 Feb 2006)

- changed some procedures to avoid the gdiplus.dll error (*)

- if the notifier is set to be always visible, moving the case will move the text too

- small bugs fixed

(*) Go to "Options>Notifier" and uncheck "Show on mouse hover" since I didn't have time to review this feature yet.

Thanks you all for your great feedback!

For such case there'll be one of those 2 alternatives:

1) a set of extra fonts (I'm not sure who'll done the extra design work, let me know if you're interesting... I have the PhotoShop project)

2) a normal label instead the png: this is my plan but I didn't have time to do it yet...

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks you all for your great feedback!

this version is a lot more stable than the past betas....great work :)

Show on mouse hover seems to be working for me as well

2 problems

1. I'm from israel now you change the fonts in PNG and not fonts in my computer how i can put hebrew in this?

I can make it for you, just attach the font you want to a post or email it to me. I've studied Hebrew a bit, so I'm familiar with it. Do you need vowel points?

Yochanan,

Before work on the Hebrew font set let me think how to implement that.

Initially, I can make an option to load an extra set (more memory usage). Doing so the extra set will begin with number "81" ("81.png") and you'll have to configure the "custom.ini" too so WCC will have the map...

Something like that.

But I think I'll need the GhostMouse help to test the feature since I just can't (no Hebrew title songs).

WCC Beta 12 Build 145 (21 Feb 2006)

- Balloon tip will not steal focus anymore

- WCC will read the height of the png font in order to better render it (not all font set has the same width and height)

- "Options" and "Skin Manager" will not generate the gdiplus.dll error (after Apply or OK pressed) if "Show time" is checked

Have fun! :)

WCC Beta 12 Build 170 (21 Feb 2006)

- Pinned to desktop issues fixed

- Skin Manager font size bug fixed (zero size for older skins)

http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc12b170.zip

Tip of the day:

Make progress bar (the progress part) transparent: just set the color to the magic pink (Red: 255, Green: 0, Blue: 255). Where? "Skin Manger>Notifier Lines>Lines composition>Line 4".

Have fun! :)

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
