    The easy coding approach in this case worked :)

    Will add in the missing HomePremium E tomorrow morning.

    Thanks for testing, i know it is a niche set of win 7 editions but nice to cover them.

    Sorry it took this long to incorporate the 7 E editions into the oem slp key database.

    Just noticed it shows Dell as the keys brand name, it just picks up the dmi or slic name. Cosmetic error as the key is actually for HP/Compaq but as oem slp keys can be used with other slic combinations it not matter the main thing is that it activates using the slic and certificate too.

    Doesn't bug me, if we can prevent needing yet another database. As keys are brand agnostic, maybe you shouldn't mention the key brand at all.

    @mxman2k I think it's good idea
    To open GitHub project for this tool
    ( It's not too complicated .. like it sound )

    I see the user selected 'center' value for the wallpaperstyle worked as can see the black areas around the desktop wallpaper image. :)

    The original value in the .theme was 'stretch' as can be seen in the log. Added that line to check before any user selection so that there was a reference to what was the previous value. This could be via the os's default setting or from the brands .theme file.

    Testing stage will now change to 'rc' release candidate as very close to release in early May. :D

    Adding a last minute pshell script to adjust the wallpaper's style instantly (or as quick as ps runs the script :D)

    If this not work then i will revert back to BC3 and the reboot is required to set the registry for the new style -- this only applies to those that change the value in the creator from Automatic.

    Not sure if it will work on anything below w8.1 but may just only use the ps script to set it for w8.1 and above

    Adding back the W11 Taskbar Size option - if the win 11 OS does not allow the use of the setting it will just ignore it , but a later CU may re-enable it?

    It should work on the latest w11 'DEV' build {22616} again... Lets see if m$ remove it again later :D

    Testing continues....

    Bit of a delay as been a busy week and weekend so it will be next week when MRP 145 is ready, sorry but i not want to release a version that not fit for purpose.
