I upgraded to the new Platinum licence back in August - well worth the money, especially if the Mac version appears soon...

I really like the fact that you have a road map planned out.

Every aspect of this product screams professionalism. From web design, planning behind it, the product itself and its functionality, documentation, etc.

Thanks Anthony mate!

Thank you very much for the kind praise Kuron! I always think if something is worth doing then it's worth doing properly and to the best of my ability!

Going to grab it right now and check it out.

I agree also, it is very professionally handled, I hope you are able to keep it a sustainable project (financially).

I can't imagine trying to find time to maintain an application or toolset if it didn't pay my bills

Thanks Zack Hopefully it will, the beauty of me working on ProGUI is that any application I write in the future will of course use ProGUI as the GUI front end and hence be very quick to develop so my continued development will always be financially viable even if the immediate benefits may not be sometimes.

I was looking through the examples directory.

I noticed that even when the source code has a newer date stamp, the companion EXE appears to be an older release and not a new compile based on the updated source (i.e I see Datestamps from November on source, but compiled EXEs are dated back to August)

But I was grinning like a kid at christmas when I opened up the OfficeExample.exe and ExplorerBarExample.exe files. It was really nice to look at, but also impressive was the smooth scrolling of panel roll-up / roll-down

(P.S - I didn't receive a new email with the Platinum Package, is that a manual affair? Might want to look into something that will let you maintain a mailing list, so you can click Send and its taken care of )

I can't get enough of the smooooth animation of the explorer bar *_*

Even though I can't wait for proGUI to go multi-platform, I think you should wait PB to switch from carbon to cocoa since it might induce some important behavior changes.

My only complaint is the really slow startup of all of the examples.

Most of the example EXEs didn't need re-compiling as the source hadn't changed and the ProGUI API was the same - the beauty of using the DLL version

Yes I'll be sending all Gold and Platinum users the updated source later today once I get my new server mailing list software configured properly so far Josh (cheers mate!) has been kind enough to let me use his mailing list in the past but now the licensing model is a bit more complex and I need easier updating with web based GUI.

Thanks for the advice Poshu, I think I'll implement the new Direct2D/DirectX rendering engine first (which will fall back onto GDI+/GDI if not available on system) and then work will start on the Mac version (probably a couple of major updates down the road)

Could you give me your system specs please Kuron? and is it slow to start up using the userlib version too?

Cheers!

Chris.

No more bugfixes for 1.27 for golduser? Only change is to upgrade?

Hi Thomas, major update 1 is free for all users already registered so don't worry your existing keycodes should work fine, let me know if they don't and I'll send you new ones.

Chris.

okay, then i miss the e-mail with the source.

greetings - thomas

I think you did not miss the email. I have not receive too. Maybe need to send out in batches. I am on Platinum.

Cho

He did state above in his reply to me, he is working on getting a new/better mailing script sorted.

Direct2D is my personal most wanted feature anyway
