Notes:
82. This is new. Note the "grabber" symbol at the far right side of the toolbar. Use this handle to drag the toolbar wherever you want it.
It "snaps" to the edges. Right click on the grabber, and the toolbar shifts to vertical format. On Windows (at least), the toolbar dims down transparently until you roll over it. Have fun....
85. Shift key with F6 reverses dimming direction, allowing easier control. Find just the level you want.
Other notes:
No good results or feedback have been obtained from intermittent crashes on cm93 quilted pans.
Please test this aggressively, but in simple and easily reproduced scenarios if possible.
There are some language file updates for this Beta version.
With luck, we will get all the .po files updates for the next Beta. Keep them coming...
Thanks, and Good Luck
