Sketch It! 2.6 has now been released. With this version comes a major fix. After the welcome screen was added to version 2.5, some people had trouble
with Sketch It not responding to any shortcut keys. By using a keyboard and mouse hook, this problem has been solved.
Another nice benefit of using system hooks is improved performance.
As always, thanks for using Sketch It! If you have any ideas for future versions, please feel free to send them to: Will Vandergrift.

Finally an update!
Sketch It! 2.5 is finally here. Although Sketch It still feels and looks pretty similar, all the mechanics underneath have been reinvented.
The main change made to this version is the way that lines are drawn. The biggest benefit that this provides is support for Windows Vista!
Along with the improvements comes a substantial speed increase allowing Sketch It to run smoother on both new and older hardware.
I've also added some new cursors that change depending on weather you're drawing or erasing lines.
This is definitely a great step forward for this program and one that I'm proud is finally here. In the upcoming weeks/months, I'll be working on some
more features such as an optional toolbar and extra drawing features such as a highlighter.
If you've never tried Sketch It! before, this is a great version to start with. And for the seasoned Sketching veterans, this is a great step forward in
what I can only hope will be the next great desktop enhancement!
I'd like to thank Javier Roig for giving me the inspiration necessary to continue working on this project.

Well it's time for another Sodium Admin update.
Currently I'm working on implementing a bug reporting feature that will hopefully help to track down errors and allow me to resolve them quickly.
When an error occurs a dialog box (example at bottom of post) will appear asking you to report the error. The error report includes information such as what command caused the error
along with system information and the current config file.
Along with working on error reporting I've been talking to the fine people over at Avast Antivirus about a problem that recently popped up.
As of now Avast reports WinLockDll.dll as a trojan.
Since this dll is required to lock the client computers, this is a pretty big issue for those who use Avast. If you know of any other antivirus software that reports WinLockDll as a virus, please email me, Will Vandergrift, at support@wilzmodz.com.

I took the time this evening to put together a help file using a great utility called HelpNDoc from IBE Software. So the help file is available online from here or from the Sketch It! area of the software page.
While creating the help file I found a bug with the printer dialog. This has now been resolved in the on demand and downloadable version of the software.
One final note, if you have a unique way that you're using Sketch It! then feel free to send your story to support@wilzmodz.com.

First of all I would like to apologize to the users that have downloaded Sketch It! 2 and have tried to use it without any directions. When I compiled the latest version of Sketch It! I forgot to include the Help file! The help file should be available by this weekend, but until then, here are some of the controls.
CTRL + SHIFT + Left Mouse Button = Draw a line
CTRL + SHIFT + Right Mouse Button = Erase a line (may not work with some video cards)
CTRL + SHIFT + ALT = Erase all lines
Hopefully this will help those of you who have already downloaded Sketch It! and also encourage others to try it out!

As I'm sure some of you have noticed, I've gone and completely redesigned the site...again. Hopefully this site will be easier to navigate and more friendly for dialup users. To kick off the new website I'd like to point out a few new features. First of all the new and improved left navigation menu will be updated with the latest program updates, patches, screenshots, etc. There's also a link to our new store on cafepress. I decided to make some Wilz Modz clothing available after being asked were people could buy them. Another new feature is Software On Demand. Software On Demand allows you to run our programs, such as Sketch It! 2, without having to install the program on your computer. As long as you have an internet connection, you have access to our latest software! Well, I hope you like the new site. Be sure to check out the latest software updates on our new software page. Thanks for taking the time to visit Wilz Modz. Be sure to tell you friends about us!
