A new release of the native MorphOS presentation app. Koliber 0.9 adds object fills, step-by-step slide "builds", and two-way PowerPoint import/export.
What's new:
Object fill: colour, gradient or image. A shape can be filled just like the background — the same four modes. The fill is read through the object's own box, so a gradient turns with a rotated shape and an image fills whatever outline it's poured into (an ellipse shows the picture inside).
An object can be a build step ("Wait for me"). The show holds on that object; Space, a click, the wheel or Next brings the following one — and an unreached object isn't drawn at all (a list arrives a line at a time). When the objects run out, Next moves to the next slide.
PowerPoint in and out. A .pptx opens as an editable deck: shapes as shapes (text still on the slide), tables as tables, bulleted/numbered lists as lists, and groups placed where the deck drew them. Text keeps the size the deck says, each deck keeps its own colours, and slide transitions survive. Export no longer drops rotation, gradient fills, bold/italic/underline or transitions — a round-trip test confirms it.
Effects & panels. You can no longer pick an effect from the other mode that would be silently ignored; when a backend can't draw an effect it substitutes the nearest thing; the Advanced per-effect panels behave like proper menus.
The interface stops fighting the pointer — mouse-handling fixes.
