A very good start :)<br /><br />Could you externalize the colors in some config file so that we can play with them without having to figure out how to compile a C# projet !<br />You should also put the default foreground/background colors for the UI in this file so that we can experiment and improve those white on black dialogs :Djicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297571272665536509noreply@blogger.com
