A happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate, I hope you think of how you'd dither that turkey skin in front of you when it's time to eat, or how you would use subpixels to animate the rich gravy flowing down your mashed potatoes and pooling at their base.

New version of Pro Motion is released with free limited version. I thought it was going to have dockable tool windows so it would be usable in wine, but unfortunately not. Still its better than it was as at least the float stay on top of the main window, they just happen to also stay on top of everything else.  :yell:

Mouse pan has moved to space bar, which is better but still no MMB.
Still impossible to make even diameter circles.  :blind:

Clicking the little "pin" icon (the one with the slightly misleading tooltip considering the initial state already is "always on top of everything") in the upper left of the floaty windows fixes that and only makes them stay on top of the main window but not on top of other windows from different programs. In Wine, I have to use it without a Wine-Desktop or otherwise the floaty windows will keep disappearing behind the main window.

I've been using Joe's forum skin. Indigo is working on an official reskin as we speak.

The one issue I had with Joe's temporary solution is you can't see the unread posts/new replies links, and I'm not sure if you can see the unread PM count. Did you find a solution for that, 32?

I never used that so I didn't notice. The link itself still works so you could always just bookmark it or something.

And yeah you can't see pm's unless you hover over the button but there's a setting to get an email notification. Probably not so good if you're getting a lot of them though.

On the topic of forum improvements, it would be nice to support Imgur album embeds -- would work very well for Daily Sketch thread, for example

Unsurprisingly, simply pasting in the HTML imgur provides doesn't work:

<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/6ytgw"><a href="//imgur.com/a/6ytgw">Jan 1 2015 draws[/url]<script async src="http://s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

(link to the album I was using for testing here)

Seems to be of comparable simplicity to existing Youtube embeds.

Prompted by seeing this post : you can go there to see how album embed looks/works interactively.
If you insist on being pessimistic about your own abilities, consider also being pessimistic about the accuracy of that pessimistic judgement.

Wow, thanks Crow! :)

EDIT: Here is my first try at an 'album' icon to go next to the 'video' icon:


Maybe too rounded. I had it with sharp corners before and it was very blocky / hard to read. Colors probably still need a little tuning to best fit the forum theme.
