Hey guys, how can you forbid Ruatha to have fun from making HIS program? Imho, he can add whatever he wants to the Companion: media players, im/irc/mail functionality, skinning (good idea, btw, cause I hate that black backgroung), system tuning, new OS afterall
If you don't like the look'n'feel of this tool, ask Ruatha for source code and make better. Competition is the motive power of progress, you know that
PS: but plugin idea is great too.
