Huh I always mix up that year dates, dunno why. Might be because of the ongoing cuttings on civil rights in Germany. With a data retention law monitoring my communication I definitely feel a lot safer.

Anyway. Looking back, 2007 was one of the most intense years in my life. Many changes and many new experiences. But I’m confident 2008 can catch up with that.

I had some time working on Simple-CCSM during my holidays and I actually used it.

First of all the CCSM code has gone through a review and was cleaned up a lot. The code corresponding to each page is now put into its own class. The signal system is moved to the glade file, which really saves a lot of unneeded code. Some nasty bugs were also squashed such as the wrong size of desktop preview widget.

I finished my work on the Zoom page: well, ok still looking a bit empty.

There is also new an effects page. It allows you to select your favorite switcher and enable some nice plugins like scale, wobbly and blur.

You might have noticed the “Advanced” button. It launches CCSM depending on your currently selected page in the notebook. For example, clicking on it while your are configuring animations it will launch CCSM with the animation plugin settings. Quite handy if you want to give your settings a little bit extra tweaking.
