    I'm still on Windows 7, accent color might not work as well here? Plus, I'm using Aero Rainbow, and the accent color changes all the time. Maybe just an #RGB value to set? Using the third color, btw.

    Alright, I can always leave the accent color, they do need tweaking slighly. Maybe I can add more? I'll consider adding an RGB system, then the user can do whatever.

    Currently the UI overhaul is completed, there are minor UI tweaks to finish. Next is revamping the font system, and logging system. I've moved from Segoe MDL2 to Fluent System Icons due to licensing, the resolver is next today. There's quite a bit to complete, but I could get a new BETA out within the month. It's all basically moving to new systems so the application is easier to update; however the systems are already written and just need migrating.

    Old Segoe UI is ugly.

    ??? Which is, effectively, an RGB slider (or color wheel, or color cone). An idea you denied earlier. :D

    Isn't Fluent restricted to Windows 1x? Anyway, everything is better than having to install fonts manually.

    :p

    A box is totally cool. Usually, you set it and forget it.

    Unfortunately, she has disappeared and is MIA for a long time now. :(

    Never mind, .NET has a built in color picker {ColorDialog dialog = new ColorDialog();}. This will be the solution.

    I'll PM you regarding MJ.

    Okay, that was easy.

    Yes, that thing is even in Win7 (and Vista probably, too).

    Alright, accent colors removed and replaced with ColorDialog. Today I'll move over to the new settings system, and port in the new message prompt from Mac EFI Toolkit. We're getting there slowly.

    Old accent colors adjusted and added to the dialog, added teal color.

    EDIT: New settings system ported in, adding redundancy. New message prompt ported in. Tomorrow is cleanup, adding the new exception handler and refactoring.
