Screenshot of the current development version (4.1.0.8)

Follow me on twitter to find out what's currently going on behind the scenes!

  • The buttons labeled "3000" are rough implementations of the Fade In / Fade Out duration selectors. 3000 stands for 3000 milliseconds.
  • The toolbars have been replaced and prepared so that they can be configurable later.
  • There's a new unified button for Finish Actions - the old solution looked quite a bit cluttered (especially on Vista)
  • What you can't see here: Right-clicking the progress bar reveals a LARGE slider to set the position more accurately.

An updated Trial of CombiWave PRO is online

Some users of the trial version reported an "access violation in urlmon.dll" that appeared right after the activation dialog. This is fixed now. Please redownload the trial version of CombiWave PRO if you are affected.

CombiWave PRO Trial

It seems to be a bit silent these days, but behind the scenes a time-limited trial of CombiWave PRO is in the making. For the curious ones of you even time-limited alpha/beta versions can then be made available.

Broken "Buy now" button

The "Buy now" button did not work during the last 2 days. This is fixed now.
