See 473
I have fixed the problem with balloons in picture landscapes and added a couple more balloon varieties.

Very nice but it looks a bit weird when the balloons emerge right out of the sea (Resort) - Ctrl+B and Fiesta.

Agree, but we have not found any other option to make fiesta effect easy on Seaside.
After all this is a top secret feature.
But don't hesitate to spread the word among your fiends ;)

Hi Pasha,

RC 473 has OpenCandy attached to it. It also works on all landscapes, but it does not work as good as RC 472.

RC 473 works really good on the custom landscape. On the animated landscapes the balloons start above the middle of the sky and float to top. On the Village landscape, balloons start just below the Menu Bar. Village and Ctrl-B, the balloons sometimes start behind the Menu Bar.

RC 472 works awesome on all 3 of the animated landscapes. The balloons start at the ground and float to the top or across the screen.

I have removed RC 473 and reinstalled RC 472.

Hopefully, RC 474 and future resolve the issue that I had with RC 473.

I still am enjoying the balloons.

Marty

Thank you Pasha!!!

RC 474 is AWESOME!!!

Ctrl-B and fiesta work on all landscapes. Balloons are starting from the ground or close to the ground. With fiesta, the balloons are not just floating up. They are floating up and across the sky.

I have tested on both Win XPs and on my Win 7. I have only tested IE8. I need to test IE9.

Thank you for RC 474!

Marty

ctrl-b is gonna be a problem when this feature is incorporated in the weather widget...

In internet explorer the ctrl-b keys are used for organizing 'favorites'...

Thanks Wally, definetly a problem for online version in IE.
I cannot find a good solution at the moment and I don't think it is a major one.
I don't think too many people will desire to spawn balloons online.
We will leave his unsolved for a while.

Marty, thank you for the hard tests.

RC 477
Probably the last feature before the release - Yura has proposed it today.
If you don't the balloon to fly away, you can drag it back :)

Perhaps before the final release you could add the option to shoot'em up... :Yahoo!:

We could have a competition...

Winner gets a free trip to any of his locations in YoWindow...

Just for the record...I just added the Maldives...:) + I'm a real good marksman... :D
