We will improve the font rendering because some fonts are appearing too "light". For GUI you should never rely on exact font sizes though, make right-aligned text right-aligned instead of relying on the exact font width.

Would like the nicknames to be bold again, and this might be a related problem because even when I log onto servers with a custom nickname system they aren't using bold anymore.

Just because it isn't acting all the same as before doesn't mean it is a downgrade. As far as I know, Stefan isn't finished with v6 yet, so he'll probably make it look more like before, before he releases it.

I tried frapsing the bug which went fine and all but everytime I try to encode the gigantic AVI file the quality is horrible. Any suggestions or do people use Graal's inbuilt?

Was referring to the state it's in. All the fonts look much worse, all I'm saying.

This. Use QuickTime or a similar application to convert it to H.264 if it's too large.

Crono · #**220** 03-15-2010, 10:13 PM

Well I wanted to convert the fraps video to h.264 if possible...the quality with fraps is great but I just don't know how to convert it to something high quality so I can upload it to youtube!

DustyPorViva · #**221** 03-15-2010, 10:15 PM

I just record with Graal and then use Windows Movie Maker to convert it. Though this depends a lot on what exactly you're doing(recording full screen or partial? Is the graal window filling your whole screen? Yada yada).

There is no zoom, spin, or anything else that should make these blur. They work fine (solid edge) in v5.

Hmmm modified it in my version so it should be fine with the next update.

Cool. Please check out the issue with .05 timeouts slowing down to .1 timeouts for no reason and making everything go slow -- that's easily the most important bug.

Is there a list of new features for v6 anywhere? I searched and couldn't find anything.

Would also be nice if someone (GDT maybe???) compiled a list of frequent suggestions and problems so that nothing important is missed. I don't want to have to wait another couple of years for simple but useful stuff like shoot2() because it was lost in the pages and pages of suggestions.

I wrote this article on the Bible, but I don't know how complete it is.
