Although DHTML Menu Builder does not natively support the creation of multi-column menus, we have created an AddIn that incorporates such ability to the program making it extremely easy to create highly complex menus.

I recently received a request from a user on the public forums requesting to see a multi-column menu that could mimic the menus at MTV.com
Although the menus at MTV.com are rather simple, they feature one submenu with a rather complex set of columns... this was no match to the power of the AddIn that allows DHTML Menu Builder to display multi-column menus.

This new version includes several minor bug fixes as well as some major interface changes.
Here's the list of what has changed in this release:

• screensaver-settings is now distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3.
• The program will now automatically hide the settings window when switching to fullscreen or selecting either the Random or Blank settings.
• Added support to display the settings from a "command" control but support to modify the screensaver's command line is not yet supported (and probably never will) so the textbox will appear disabled.
• For some reason, getting the Random Cycle Delay parameter from GCONF will fail. This hasn't been resolved yet but, at least, the program will not crash when this occurs.
• Made some substantial modifications to the GUI in order to conform to the suggestions made by Matthew Paul Thomas. Not all his suggestions are implemented and those that were are not 100% functional.
  The changes include:
  • Moved the screensaver daemon settings to the top of the dialog.
  • Added a selection box (dropdown) to select the operation mode: Blank Screen, One Screensaver or Random.
  • The selection of which screensavers should be included while in random mode it is now made on the same dialog.

DXVUMeterNET is an extremely powerful .NET library which can be used to perform many different tasks.

I, for example, have found some very curious and cool things that can be done with it... so I decided to create a special section where I will showcase some of the most interesting things that I have done with this control

You will be able to find these sample applications here. In this section you will find unusual, but very cool, applications developed using DXVUMeterNET and, whenever possible, I will make the source code available.

This new release of screensaver-settings fixes many of the known bugs and adds support for other Linux distributions such as openSUSE 10.3

Here's a list of some of the most important fixes and improvements:

• Fixed bug that could cause the program to crash if you switched screensavers as the program was closing.
• Fixed bug that caused the settings window to improperly intialize number-based controls (such as sliders and spinbuttons).
• Removed all the "Console.WriteLine" entries that served only for debugging purposes.
• Improved support for other Linux distributions (such as openSUSE).
• Fixed a bug that caused the program to not close/terminate properly.
• screensaver-settings settings no longer needs to be run as root (gksudo). Whenever the program detects that it needs to update a screensaver it will ask for the user's permission.
