Now uploaded to www.magnumsworld.com/muds are updates to the firework gadget, the Ages of Despair example plugin for using it and a bug fixed modified terminal font.

Changes to Gadget:

1. Added a delayed minimize effect. Now ten seconds after the last firework appears the gadget will automatically minimize itself, so it doesn't block anything while idle. It automatically restores when needed.

2. Added a 'Fit To Window' feature. This is identical to Dock, in that it takes Top, Bottom, Left or Right and a top level window name to attach to. However, while Dock will automatically adjust the gadgets size to match any change in size and position of the window you docked it to, FitTo ignores such changes. This may work better for some people.

3. An 'Always On Top' feature. This, when set true will cause the gadget to appear above all other windows when it is active.

Changes to Plugin:

1. The 'default' behaviour in the old plugin was to Dock with Mushclient. It now merely uses FitTo.

2. The gadget's AlwaysOnTop attribute is set to True be default in the plugin.

3. The code used to kill the gadget and recreate it when needed was removed. Since the gadget now hides itself when inactive, this was redundant.

Change to ModTerm:

Noticed that the letter å was missing from the font, which placed all following letters one slot lower than they should have been. This should now be identical to Lucida Consoles layout, except for the few characters I added to fill in spots that are unused in the Lucida Console font. They may still be useless characters, but at least you can see something if those characters are sent to you.

Unfortunately I am still unable to delete the duplicate font in the file. The program Softy I use was never finished and removing a font from the file (let alone setting some info in it correctly) is impossible. :(

main {
__if (Schrodinger_Cat is Alive or version >= "XP"){
____if version = "Vista" then Performance /= Number_of_Cores;
____call Functional_Code();}
__else
____call Crash_Windows();}
