A new Mosaico update is available (1.8.4.2)

/by

Hi there!

Mosaico 1.8.4.X versions had a huge adoption rate and a spike in downloads. Thank you!

Some users have reported issues, mainly due to the new inter-process-communication (IPC) module. The new IPC offers a new level of compatibility with apps, but it’s a lot less road-tested compared to the previous 6 years old module.

This version 1.8.4.2 fixes some bugs and improves general speed:

Fixed a bug with overlay appearing erratically during normal operations with MS Office and others.
Fixed a bug with transparency not being set correctly.
Fixed a bug with “Always on top” option not working sometimes.
Fixed some minor bugs.
Small tweaking of user interface.
General performance improvement.
As usual you can wait for Mosaico to auto-update, or you can go to www.soulidstudio.com/download/ to manually download the new version.

If you own Mosaico on Steam your copy should be automatically updating soon. Please remember that you can run your Steam copy without running the Steam client itself. You can also use the license key provided by Steam to register the retail version!

You can buy Mosaico on Steam at this URL: http://store.steampowered.com/app/257650/

If your trial has already expired, please feel free to contact us to require a trial extension!

Hi there!

I’m happy to announce that a new update of Mosaico is available right now at www.soulidstudio.com!

This version 1.8.4.1 brings some cool new features and a lot of performance and compatibility improvements. Here’s a brief list of changes:

  • New “Borderless Windows” feature. If you are into gaming, it is now possible to run your games fullscreen in a borderless window. This means easier ALT+TABing out of gaming window and complete multi-monitor support.
  • New “Mouse Locking” feature. You can lock mouse pointer to your borderless windows. Handy when a game requires interaction near the screen edges.
  • WIN key is now a global shortcut modifier. You can also select from 0 to 4 modifiers (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, WIN) to optimally configure your favorite shortcuts.
  • Improved compatibility. Mosaico now works fine with Acrobat Reader, VLC, Ninja Trader, JRiver and many others, thanks to a completely rewritten inter process communication schema.
  • Many bug fixes and improved speed. Fixed a crash when dragging windows across multiple screens in Windows 10. Fixed several other smaller issues.

Mosaico should be automatically updating soon to the latest version. You can also update manually by visiting http://www.soulidstudio.com/download/ .

If you own Mosaico on Steam your copy should be automatically updating soon. Please remember that you can run your Steam copy without running the Steam client itself. You can also use the license key provided by Steam to register the retail version!

Introducing Mosaico Free Edition (and new 1.8.3.0)

/by

Hi there!

One of the best satisfactions of this job is to hear from you about how Mosaico is useful in your everyday work. How it has changed the way you organize your daily activities at the computer.

Your feedback is fundamental. It drives the development and motivates my collaborators and me to do a great job.

During these years very often I’ve heard about users who were happy with Mosaico but not very keen on investing money on it. License price could be steep for a student or for a home user. I firmly believe that the purpose of one’s job should be to bring wellness and happiness to others, as it will eventually come back in the form of wealth and appreciation.

So I’m very proud to announce the new Mosaico Free Edition, available now at www.soulidstudio.com. This edition is available for free, it never expires, and it’s for you to use wherever and whenever you desire, for non-commercial purposes.

We’ve also extended the trial period of Mosaico Pro Edition from 14 to 30 days!

The offer of paid licenses has been organized in Mosaico Pro Edition, that includes these types of licenses:

  • Pro Standard, valid on 1 computer
  • Pro Personal, valid on every computer you use personally
  • Pro Workgroup, extended from 10 to 30 computers
  • Pro Enterprise, valid on every computer in your company
PRO Personal is offered at the same price of the Standard one, but only until March 6th. So hurry up if you were planning to join Mosaico supporters by buying a Pro license!

More info on licenses and a comparison between Pro and Free features can be found at http://www.soulidstudio.com/buy/

If you are already a supporter, your license will be automatically converted to a Pro Personal. Mosaico should be automatically updating soon to the latest 1.8.3.0. If not, please visit http://www.soulidstudio.com/download/ to manually update.

A brief list of changes in this new version 1.8.3.0:

  • New Free Edition available
  • Trial period extended to 30 days
  • Snapshot name is preserved when replacing it
  • Online registration should be more compatible with strict firewalls
  • Fixed compatibility issues with 3rd party apps interfering with Mosaico and causing crashes
  • Mosaico GUI doesn’t disappear immediately when mouse exits it
  • It is now possible to disable any keyboard shortcuts
  • Mosaico now works with both Administrator and non-Administrator apps, if you launch it with Administrator privileges
  • Fixed some minor bugs and hangs in Windows 10
  • General performance improvement
If you own Mosaico on Steam your copy should be automatically updating soon. Please remember that you can run your Steam copy without running the Steam client itself. You can also use the license key provided by Steam to register the retail version!
You can buy Mosaico on Steam at this URL: http://store.steampowered.com/app/257650/
