Erm... that image probably screws up the formatting for people on lower resolutions...

/me awaits better, shinier companion.

Any possibility of applying a nice SE-related skin to it, rather than standard boring Windows GUI?

The pic will disappear when my wife closes the computer at home.

Skins... Right now I've only enabled Win Xp Themes.
But I'll look into skins, won't promise anything though..

I didn't necessarily mean that it has a skinnable interface, just that you apply a skin to it... but that would also work...

In the first permutation it was black, than I got suggestions to make it more window standard so it could be easier read.
So it will either be general skins or only XP themes.
Not forced skin.

Edit:have lookie dinto it.
Skinning seems very hard if one doesn't buy a commercial component.
It'll propably be WinXP themes.
Perhaps a switch to enable "SE4 UI", that could use SE4 fonts and colours.

Another issue the companion copuld resolve would be the resolution thingy.
OPtion to set screen resolution when game starts and switch back when it ends.
