The Lonesome Electric Chicken is a time and life wasting application that spews forth a gathering of quotations. That's it. Don't look any farther into it than that. Currently there are only about 70 quotes in the chicken pile. These are quotations that appeal to me personally, and may not jive with your own individual tastes. Some folks may enjoy them, others will most assuredly not. The Lonesome Electric Chicken is not intended to be a spiritually or morally uplifting application, although you may find it to be so anyway. There are not, nor will there ever be, any quotes from "The Simpson's" to be found within.
What's new in this version:
# The quotes can be resized (regular, large, extra-large).
# You can now set the transparency of the chicken and quote balloon. This means you can set it so that only the quote appears.
# A new window level has been added, "Desktop picture mode". When set, the chicken acts just like another part of your desktop picture: when in the background, it stays behind everything (even icons), it isn't made active when clicked and will not be hidden when "Hide All" is selected. To make The Lonesome Electric Chicken the active application again (for moving the chicken, changing preferences or quitting), just click on the dock icon.
# You can now move forward and backward through the quotes (the key equivalents have changed to forward and backward arrows). Moving through the quotes manually will not increment the auto-quit or cycle count. In other words, if you have LEC set to automatically quit after 1 quote, you can manually cycle through as many quotes as you want. After you stop cycling, the timer would start up again, and seeing that it went through one of it's own cycles once, quit. Probably doesn't make much sense, does it?
# More quotes from Nietzsche, Joyce, T.S. Elliot (why wasn't he in there?) and Jung added.
# A ton of minor spelling errors and other annoying bugs fixed (thanks to Lawrence Hargett).
# Other interface tweaks.
