PRETTY GOOD SOLITAIRE v16.2 with 920 GAMES
--
A new version of Pretty Good Solitaire for Windows is now available!
Version 16.2 is available for download from http://www.goodsol.com/download.html
Here is what is new:
-- Version 16.2 contains 20 new games, bringing the total number of games to 920.
-- There are major changes in the windowing system of the game for Windows 10. The game now responds better to changes in window size. In particular, changing the window size will now cause the game to automatically change card sizes (if necessary).
If you drag the game window off the left edge of the screen, the game will snap to fill the left half of the screen with an appropriate card size. This also works the other way if you drag it off the right side. This is standard in Windows 10 and is an easy way to set up the game to play half screen with another app in the other half of the screen.
-- There are new main screen options. If you go to the Options button on the main screen, main menu area, there are new options to set the font size and a few pre-set color themes for the main menu.
-- You can now turn on or off sound from the Options menu inside a game instead of having to exit the game and doing it from the main menu options area.
