it's acctually nice to have skin without icons!

Yeah, the icons thing was totally intentional. And I'm shit with them anyway.

Don't want to make you rush, but do you already have an idea for the wide icons?

Okay, so now each of the backgrounds for the Home options and windows are customisable. The catch: it takes about half a second for custom images to fade in when you change options, whereas the default ones are instant.

That'll simply be the JPG load time versus XPR load time. If users specify a BMP instead, it'll be much snappier.

BMP files are normally larger, how would it be more efficient to load a larger file... or am I misunderstanding your meaning of "snappier"

The man speaks the truth; the BMP files do load faster. Still not *quite* as fast as the XPR ones, but at least we're only talking about a split second's difference.

A few more screens. Getting down to the nitty gritty now.

Basic Icon view (bringing the total for each main window to three, which is how I'm leaving it)

very nice!

the load time can quite often be caused by its running on a standard 10 gig drive in which case f drive seems to run way slower than normal, for large pics or any large files. Ive thought ive had errors at times but on a larger harddrive or C or E from a normal 10 gig drive it runs fine. The 8 Gig HDD speeds are fine but no F drive.
