Well, the current CVS version of WindowMaker now compiles painlessly on Slackware, and I've heard it also runs fine on Fedora and Suse. Antialiasing and GTK2 compatibility are now a reality.

It's nice to be back.

I've started a few new themes already. The first one is a backport of the Ultrafina site theme, which was originally an altered port of the old WindowMaker theme. Still with me? Good. Anyhow, here's the package, and a screenshot.

iRiver has posted a schedule that promises several overdue upgrades to the ihp-series players. Users should see gapless playback, on-the-fly playlisting, true shuffle mode, and onboard file deletion implemented between May and June. Perhaps this will address the hard-drive performance issues as well.

Rio has posted a new firmware for the Karma. Mostly bugfixes, but you can check out the details here.
