Description: Dilo looks up words at http://dict.leo.org and shows the english or german translation of that word. It is kind of comparable to "Babylon" for Windows but uses a public web-dictionary instead of having a local one. if you want to see how LEO works, please go to http://dict.leo.org and try it out yourself. You can start up Dilo directly and enter something into the search field to search for or you can call it through the services menu Define in Dilo. It doesn't matter whether you are searching for an english description of a german word or vice versa (and french/german, spanish/german respectively). Just select the word in the editor you are using, choose "Services->Define in Dilo" (or "Services->Define French in Dolo") and that's it.What's new in this version:Dilo now remembers the state of language-popup setting between sessions and added French translation (thanks to Ange).

Description: BugMirror is a different screen saver; as its packed with bugs!Nowadays screens are made out of pixels. What if they were made of living creatures instead of pixels?That's what BugMirror tries to explore, as it proposes a screen made of thousands of little bugs.The bugs react to camera input, trying to mimic what the camera sees. They are free to walk around and change their color. This creates a low-precision slow-reacting mirror, giving it a very organic and unique feeling.Every single Bug thinks locally, reacting to its surroundings. But by having thousands of them, all thinking on their own, makes the whole bug community work as a single entity.What's new in this version:Optimized parts of the drawing code, should feel faster (especially on lower end graphic cards).
