Ahh, but the next Version 0.8 will be shrinked from current 2500 k to 800 k!

I think you should stop adding random stuff to the SE4 Companion... music player, IM program, where does it end? If you want to learn how to program these things, that is fine, but keep them separate. The program you release is definitely doing far too much already...

An idea just struck me. Ouch! You should learn how to make the program use plugins/extensions. Then, you can keep extra stuff like this out of the core program, but able to be added in as a plugin, like Mozilla and such programs do. It would reduce the bloat for those that do not want weird features.

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.
