New versions of WhiteCap, G-Force, and Winter Wonders 2020 are now live and Aeon will show up later this week.

version history. G-Force Gold users also get: 9 additional new
configs and support for album cover artwork (note that only
iTunes and J. River MEDIA CENTER currently support album cover
art). The album cover art support is very sharp-looking and
gets addicting once you see it in action inside G-Force. Advanced
users: because the G-Force folder structure has changed, the
installer deletes the old folder′s contents during installation
(so any custom files you wish to keep should be removed from
your G-Force folder before you run the installer). Please submit
in detailed problem reports and any and all feedback — your
suggestions and comments count and without them, G-Force can′t
get better! And last but not least, big thanks
to all the the config contributors (Ted, Andy Cabrera, John
Protopapas, Ryan Edwards, and others), forum users that have
vocalized a supportive attitude, users who have submitted feedback,
and everyone else who′s been supportive. It all adds up, and
that support makes things better for everyone in the long run.

SoundSpectrum Darkroom (formerly known as
G-Force Video Exporter) is now posted. Special thanks goes out
to users who′ve been waiting patiently for the last month — you should find it was worth the wait. If you use it, please
submit feedback and problem reports so that we can quickly stabilze
it. Currently, SoundSpectrum
Darkroom is only available for Mac OS. WhiteCap 4.5.7 fixes a couple minor cosmetic issues
and fixes a WMP install issue. G-Force 2.5.2 has 16 new DeltaFields
(thanks Ryan Edwards!) and brings Windows users all the 2.5.1
additions. Mac OS X iTunes users can now either download an
installer or non-installer archive.
December 18, 2003
G-Force 2.5 has been released, and is now available for Windows Media Player
9, Winamp 5, Musicmatch Jukebox, and iTunes for Windows.
Highlights are: WMP and iTunes for Windows support, cosmetic
and stability improvements, better image/movie/sprite support,
faster boot time, many new configs (thanks contributors!),
pixel doubling, new config type called DeltaField Unions,
and better fullscreen support. The remaining G-Force archive
to post is G-Force 2.5 Video Exporter — Mac OS users
will see this in 1-2 weeks.

SoundSpectrum creates and licenses a special version of G-Force to Apple Computer for inclusion in its new iTunes music player as the "iTunes Visualizer" (unveiled at MacWorld 2001). Apple uses the resulting visuals in its TV ads for the new "flower power" iMac. See one of the ads from the campaign.
