At this blog you will be able to follow the development of Costa. Every now and then I will post about the current status of the project, tell news about Costa, and talk a little about future goals. Atom feed is available, for those who want to keep posted.
While it may not look like much has changed, there’s quite a few changes behind the scenes in this new version.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been working to improve the Icon Editor. Visually, nothing has changed - but under the hood, three major improvements have been made!
I was going through my old stuff some time ago, and found my old notebook. I used it to take notes when I was first learning to program, from 2001-2004. It was very interresting to read through my old notes, but one of them in particular caught my attention.
After a 2½ year hiatus, I have once again pulled the source code for Costa out of storage, and added some new features. This time around, I’ve implemented some bug fixes, and a whole new theme editor.
With this new theme editor, users can now customize any color of the interface - either by modifying existing themes, or making their own. User submissions are welcome!
Once again I have released a new version Costa, version 1.2.0.
The main feature in this new version is support for multiple profiles. It is now possible for several users to use the same installation of Costa, each with their own settings, theme and personal desktop. One user could also have separate profiles for work, play etc.
Full changelog for this and previous releases are available in the archive.
