I love the winstep skin, but I do not know how to turn off the noise the clock makes every hour. I've looked around, but I don't seem to be able to find it. Any suggestions?

Right click on the desktop clock module and select 'Clock Settings'. In there, if you don't want the clock to speak the time, change the Interval from 'Every Hour' to 'Never'.

Well, now I feel silly. That window opened so close to the top of my screen, that the "never" selection was off the edge of the screen! =) Thanks!!

Hehe. Sorry, it's those NeXT style controls... we're dumping them in favor of regular Windows controls in one of the following releases.

OH? New release??

Now that is interesting, isn't it......What else might be in such a release???
New modules perhaps?

Nah, sorry, the upcoming new release has more to do with improving performance and fixing the less than a handful of bugs that managed to creep into the previous version than adding new modules.

I have plans for major improvements after that, though.
