Limewire BUGS

Version 4.9.11
Java VM: 1.5.0_01.
System: Slackware Linux 10.1 - kernel 2.6.12******1 and XFCE 4.2.2 as GUI

Nuisance bug: Brazilian portuguese accents doesn't get displayed.
Nuisance bug: Limewire system tray icon doesn't get displayed.

Suggestion: Please come back with the "Quality (poor, turbo charged)"
rating. I loved it. Otherwise program layout is fine.

Thanks in advance,

Carlos
(MegaByte).

P.S: tried to e-mail but it seemed down.

I've downloaded the latest Linux version from the official site and it reports 4.9.17 as the latest. Thanks for fixing the accent bugs and making the icon showing up, but I still get an invisible space together with it that won't go away.

Enhancement tip: Could you remove the old frontend and use a gtk2+ frontend instead? Then it would really look native and system integrated. And I'd have the option to use my system theme.


Yours Truly,

MegaByte.

P.s

1. The specs of my OS and system are the same from before.

2. Hints of apps dropping their frontend in favor of Gtk2 nowadays: Acrobat Reader 7, Realplayer 10, Open Office 2.0 (Beta). It also allows anti-aliased fonts that may increase productivity by 25% alone (with smaller fonts, say).

There won't be any native frontends in the forseeable future (at least not from LimeWire).

The connection rating can be enabled in the options.

I believe, Java Swing already does antialiasing for fonts.

1.) Antialiased Fonts are really slow for now under Java/X11 - this will maybe improve when Mustang (aka java 6.0) will be released.

2.) I personally would not like GTK2 look and feel as default - gtk2 is a slow and unrepsonive toolkit (on slower systems) so my brain automatically asociates its look with god damn slow.
