PimpFish for Windows Vista and PF Basic sneak preview
Hello everybody!
As you all know from a quick glance at this blog, then it is obvious that we are not the most prolific bloggers online.
I guess we are just too busy cooking up cool stuff that we have a hard time keeping track of everything. But at least we are trying to get better at this thing. So, we thought that with this update we would give you a little sneak preview of what we are playing around with these days.
First and foremost then we are coming out with a brand new, free, version of PimpFish (yeah you heard right: Free!) What's the catch? Well, it will be a slightly feature-reduced version of the regular PimpFish and it will have a few messages in the toolbar and downloader to encourage people to upgrade, and to give out news, tips and whatever mad ramblings we might feel like putting out there in the ether.

Windows Vista Stuff
As a part of our continuing, sick and twisted, urge to improve on PimpFish we have been doing a lot of research and development on the upcoming Vista platform lately. One of the things we will be introducing in our future release is support for the Aero Glass effect in Windows Vista (as you can see on the image on the left)
We probably wont go overboard on all that stuff though, as we predict that everybody and their mother is going to be doing the Aero Glass stuff as soon as Vista hits the streets (just look at the surge in Windows XP themed icons etc. in applications in recent years) - So what you can expect is spiffy new looks here and there, but still with some unique UI elements along with all that stuff. For example, our downloader remains largely unchanged on Windows Vista except for the border areas which have been glass-i-fied.

PimpFish Basic - Coming soon!
The other big thing coming out soon is our new PimpFish Basic (as I mentioned earlier) which is going to rock - a lot. Basically PimpFish Basic is a completely free but feature reduced version of the regular PimpFish. What we have "cut out" from the free version is the automatically generated galleries, the ability to save to any directory (PF Basic only saves to My Documents) and the mini thumbnail viewer.
We are hoping to release the new PimpFish Basic, and send out a newsletter to all you freaks within the next week or two.
On top of all that you can expect 7 new language versions of the regular PimpFish being released over the next couple of months... Exciting stuff!
Well, untill next time - Stay freaky!
