I recently discovered wordpress automatic updates for plugins delete the plugin's directory. This has severe implications for the plugin because downloads will be lost. To solve this I have had to move the folder outside of the wp_download_monitor directory. Therefore if you use automatic updates please back up your downloads, or move them into wp_content/uploads before updating the plugin.
I will update the plugin tomorrow, this should give some notice and let you backup your files.

Mike, why exactly did you put this line in your javascript: var returnColour = “#ffffff”; if(colour != “” && colour != “transparent”)? I was curious because when trying to apply a transparent PNG background this function makes all curves come out white, rather than transparent like I intended. I commented parts of that line out so that it wouldn’t replace transparent PNGs with the color white anymore, now it works perfectly. I was just curious why you made that coding decision?

I think Its there so the function returns something in all cases. Perhaps I made a mistake. I will consider removing it to fix the transparency. Thanks for noticing!

I did notice that the curves stop displaying in IE6 when applying a transparent PNG background after my change to the code. I do realize that transparent backgrounds don’t work in IE6 by default, but even after using Dean Edwards’ javascript library IE7 that forces IE6 to behave like a standards compliant browser, it still didn’t work. My point is, maybe that is why you included that function, because of IE’s failure to recognize transparent PNG bgs? I will state this, after altering the script it works perfectly in Firefox, but isn’t that always the case
Regradless, I enjoy this adaptation of the curvy Corners script, it seems very popular. Keep up the good work.

Non related question: Why did you disable focus for your form field? The real question has to do with printing pages that have the Curvy Corners plugin. How can I get the bars and corners to NOT print. Lemme know.

@Mark - thanks! Perhaps it was, I really can’t remember. Maybe I should comment more lol
@David - Tricky. If your using autopad you could modify the plugin to add a class to the autopad div, then in the print stylesheet make all the divs in the curvy corner div hidden with display:none except for the autopad.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, but then I am creating a “branch” off of trunk. Wanted to keep it as is. Hmmm. Thanks.
