Description So after having rage over losing my work, and taking off way to much time from the project, I finally got back on track. This is almost everything that I had done originally, save for the web back-end (going to use a simpler system for that)

I even now have my first "Pro" options, the ability to Enable or Disable Icons, and if icons are enabled, what SIZE you want them to be. Current size choices are 16,24,32,48,64.

The size in the screen-cap is 48.. Looks nice, don't it? This works so far for AppTab and Tile mode, but not for Classic mode.. Need to do that next.

As you can see the Settings window was updated (the whole purpose of the update was to do SOMETHING with the darned thing)

The options sidebar slides in and out with the arrow icon up top (the arrow changes positions depending on if the panel is slid out or not), and the skin chooser is now a custom made graphical List view.

The reason that two skins has a different icon is that while it parses the skins folder it looks for a specific file.

In this case it is the button.png or button.gif. However it will soon have a 3rd options of skinicon.png or skinicon.gif. The whole purpose of that file is to simply have a different skin icon in the selector.

The Gear is the default "No skin icon graphic found, use a generic default" graphic.

And also, the default icon for the app has changed.. AGAIN. This time it is a windows logo "Window" ("It's not a FLAG!" screams Microsoft) with the gear behind it.

Anyway, the project is now .Net 4, built with Visual Studio 2012. I think I actually love VS2012 more then VS2010. So many useful, neat, new tools.

Anyway, yes, screen caps for you to enjoy. Once i get the web backend up and going again, I will release.

Buttons and anchors blend with background - making them hardly visible.

Why are computer and controlpanel shown as folders?

controlpanel.exe and computer > all are items already defined in the start menu. check it on windows 7, possibly even XP, see if they are not listed there already. They will be in 7.
