release crystal-0.5

original release: June 30th, 2004
release crystal-0.6

original release: July 4th, 2004

Changelog:
* THANKS to vicko for the SuSE 9.1 rpm!!
* Added a lot more options, like border width, image effect, and frames
* Perhaps it's faster, perhaps it's slower now. ;)
* Few internal changes
release crystal-0.7

original release: July 7th, 2004

Changelog:
* Godlike SPEEDBOOST. Yeah, speeded it up to about 10^23 times of the previous version, by applying the effect only once to a shared image.
* Because of the above it uses much less memory, when a lot of windows are opened.
* Different desktops, with different wallpapers set, should now work correctly (the image is applied on the wallpaper, when changing the desktops, so changing may sometimes be slow).
* Activation / Deactivation of windows should take effect to the window decoration directly.
* Now works with non-picture backgrounds.
* Double click on the program icon closes window.
* Removed two effects, which were rather silly. ;)
* THANKS to vicko again for the SuSE 9.1 rpm!! :)
release crystal-0.7.1

original release: July 7th, 2004

Changelog:
* Just fixed one bug with xinerama. Now works fine on xinerama enabled, stretched desktops.
release crystal-0.7.5

original release: July 12th, 2004

Changelog:
* Ability to change the title bar size (the title font size must be assigned separately)
* Right-Click on minimize button toggles shade mode
* Dropshadow of the title bar text is available for better visibility
* Updates the window only every 200 ms when moving or resizing, to preserve CPU. No need to do so more frequently
* Fixed minor bugs in rendering and handling.
* Added kdevelop project file. No more kate or vi. ;)
release crystal-0.7.6

original release: August 28th, 2004

Changelog:
* Bug fix, it should load correctly now , when kde starts up.
* Added one KDE-3.3 button, for shading the window (there is few need for this, because you can right-click on the minimize-button to shade).
* Added option to react on virtual desktop switching. Most people have the same wallpaper set on all desktops, so they can uncheck the option. If they are different, crystal needs to react on desktop switches to update the transparency.
release crystal-0.7.7

original release: August 29th, 2004

Changelog:
* De-uglyfied left and right caption align
* Middle mousebutton on minimize button now sends the window to below on the stack.
* Define the shading color of the title bar buttons. Set to black, when you have a bright wallpaper, or white when it is rather dark. White or black looks the best but feel free to try pink or green. ;)
* Added option for round window corners. The thin frame is deactivated when running with round corners, you cannot set the radius for now (perhaps later).
* Right click on menu button also shows window menu. Yiehaa!
* Some minor beautifyings.
release crystal-0.8.0

original release: September 21th, 2004

Changelog:
* When setting fade effect to 100 %, less CPU cycles are used. Good if you want to disable transparency.
* Added option for a mouse over effect.
* Choose the color of the window border yourself.
* Beautified round window corners and made window frame work with round corners.
release crystal-0.9.0

original release: November 6th, 2004

Changelog:
* Even faster rendering method offers a good speed up
* New Option to specify when to repaint the deco, while the window is being moved: immediately (makes you drool), every 200 ms, or when finished moving
* Added option for Button Themes. :) Feel free to design some for me, I have included the original button theme within this package now.
* When disallowing maxmized windows to be moved and resized, the borders disappear now, and the buttons are straight in the corner of the screen, ready to be hacked on.
* Several minor bug fixes and code rearangements. Uses less memory.
* Double clicking middle mouse button does not generade one click event and a doubleclick event anymore, but two single middle mouse button events.
* Windows that are not resizable can now be moved by touching any part of the border.
* Window menu is shortly delayed to suppress flicker when double clicking.
* Cleaned up and sorted configuration dialog.

Changelog:
* Nicer lighting preset

* Option to show a tooltip for the caption
