Oh! You're correct, it used to be in there, it's not now. Also, there seems to be another issue with this last update, and the name of the folder created when you unzp the zip file on OSX. I'll update and post here. Sorry about this!
Okay, the folder for ManaWriter should be correct in the zip now, and the readme.txt is there. Just download the lastest version of the file. Any other issues, please let me know
I bought this software, but unfortunately, I can't read anything because of the font. In other responses, I saw that there will be an update, so I am waiting.
The option to also turn off the music would be great.
Thank you for your kind words! And yes, the font update and volume update is coming later today. I'll have instructions on how to update in a blog post on itch to go along with it.
I loved the update, but I still have a little problem with the font. “” and — appear as rectangles. The volume symbol does too, but other than that, everything is fine. For now, I changed the font in the main folder, and “” and — showed up without any issues; the only downside is that the font became huge hahaha.
The volume is supposed to appear as rectangles, it's supposed to look like the volume going up and down on old tv/vcr, lol. And yeah, it does require a smaller font. Which theme did you use that had the issue? Each theme has its own font, and I thought I made sure the ones we had in there could handle curly quotes just fine.
I just tested every theme, and the font "" appear just fine for me, not as rectangles? Are you copying and pasting it from a word doc or something like that? Just curious!
Lovely idea, I really like this! Is there a way to turn off the music, if I want to put something else on while I'm writing?
I'm running the Mac version, and there seems to be an issue with the full screen on my computer. I turned it on, and it worked but when I want to leave it and go to the windowed version, it doesn't do anything and stays in full screen.
I will add an ability to turn down the music or off, same with sound effects, in a future update for sure.
Thanks for letting me know the error about the mac version. I was testing it on Mac and haven't had that same issue. Did it give you any error codes at all? I'll see if I can add that fix in the Monday update I'm sending out. I won't be able to add the music/sound additions Monday, but will hopefully have the fullscreen issue fixed.
Cool that you're thinking about adding the music option!
It doesn't give an error code. It seems something happens when I click the option to leave fullscreen. The screen goes black for a second, then rapidly I see a flickering, and then it displays the fullscreen again. I will add that I'm using an older version of macOS, so maybe that's the issue? I'm running OSX 12.6
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! It seems on some monitors/etc yes it does get very blurry. I figured out a way of solving the issue, and created a new font system to fix it.
Got it almost done, just need to testing and debugging to make sure the update doesn't break anything. Probably go live Monday as the "ClearText Update" lol.
It looks pretty sharp. I'll update the screenshots here when I update monday.
Thanks for addressing this so fast. This and not having sound options were the only aspects preventing this bit of software from being the most unique and useful writing tool I have come across.
Any chance you could make it work in full screen mode on portrait displays? Oh and support for scroll wheels? My mini Bluetooth keyboard that I love thumb typing with has a a nice big scroll wheel on it that adds a real tactile element to reviewing what I have typed.

The download page mentions a Readme.txt for the MacOS version but I don’t see it in the files?

Other than that, the software is excellent!

Okay, yes, it was the cooldown delay when the menu item is selected! So on Monday's update this should be fixed for you.
Thank you for looking into it! Looking forward to the update!
This is a neat idea but the text is so blurry I can barely read it. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

I agree that the font is a huge problem for me too, barely readable on my screen. Glad you got a fix for it ! Looking forward to it
Great! It does look much clearer, so here's hoping this fixes it for everyone :) And still keeps the retro SNES look

Huh! That would be cool. Maybe for a future update I can figure out how to do portrait displays!
