The Clocks palette controls (close button, resize control and scroll arrows) can now be hidden. To hide controls, deselect the "Hide controls" checkbox in the Palette pane of World Clock Deluxe Preferences or Control-click the palette's background and choose Hide Controls from the contextual menu. To quickly show or hide controls, simply Shift-click the palette's background. When controls are hidden, you can close, resize and scroll the palette from its contextual menu. To close the palette you can also click any clock in the palette and choose Close Palette from the displayed pop-up menu.
Clocks can be made more transparent: minimum opacity is now 20%.
Transparent clocks can now have an opaque text. To make the text (and hands) opaque when clocks are transparent, select the "Don't apply to text" checkbox in the Palette pane of World Clock Deluxe Preferences.
The Menus pane has been introduced in World Clock Deluxe Preferences. It lets you customize the pop-up menu which appears when you click a clock in the palette, the Dock menu and the World Clock Deluxe status menu. You can add your local date and time and decide whether to show clocks or not. You can list all clocks, visible clocks, or hidden clocks.
The number of labels has been raised to 10 and default label colors have been rearranged.
The Bring to Front/Bring All to Front command has been added to the pop-up menu which appears when you click a clock in the palette and to the World Clock Deluxe status menu. It lets you make World Clock Deluxe active and bring all its open windows to the front.
Cities, DST rules and time zones have been revised. Haiti, Nicaragua and Tunisia have introduced DST in 2005, while Kazakhstan abolished it. The UTC offset of Aqtau, Kazakhstan has been updated (it recently switched to + 5 h) and the British Indian Ocean Territory's UTC offset has been corrected to + 6 h. Rothera, Antarctica and two new time zones (Pitcairn Time (PNT) and Taiwan Time (TWT)) have been added.
Shift-clicking the Clocks palette's background shows or hides controls now. To change the palette's orientation you must now Shift-Command-click its background.
Two different bugs that could cause the vertical palette to crop the widest digital clock under particular circumstances has been fixed.
Several other minor improvements have been introduced.
