    Hey bro thanks for testing...

    1. This is being worked on don't worry, I'm just finding the best solution for it.
    2. Awesome :D
    3. The color option will be worked on and the user will get a setting for this, to enable personal color on startup.
    4. I completely missed that, it will be fixed.
    5. Does it =/? I'll look into this.

    Let me know if you spot anything else :)

    One more issue.
    Open the app, change the theme to blue and open the experience index. The window's theme would remain grey although we changed it before.

    No worries dude, the colors were just a test and will reflect every Window before final release. BETA 3 will include this plus the locked tabs will be available :)

    Just a quick update. Pre-releases are now only available to my BETA testers while I get ready for the final release.

    Any questions please feel free to ask.

    1. These are the most commonly disabled services :)
    2. Running = Green, Stopped = Orange, Error = Red. You can only stop or start services. But they're stopped permanently until the user starts them again.
    3. They look better in the application, you'll see in a few days when I pass you the BETA 3 download.
    4. Nope, not until a restart, log-off or... restart explorer.

    :D The Dev.

    Glad to see this is going well. I can not wait to test it.

    1. Start Menu + is being seperated into a new app.
    2. I know, don't worry about that.
    3. It should be effective after a reboot, I'll look into this, must be an issue for x86 users.
    4. Don't worry this Window will be part of the same UI before release.
    5. This will be fixed.
    6. I'm not completely sure what you mean, in Operating System?

    I'll release an update soon.

    Regards, The Dev.

    3. Heh? If you stop a service, it would apply until someone (or something) will restart it. And this something would be a restart. (That assuming "Stop" doesn't configure the service to "Disabled" or "Manual")
    6. Aha.

    Both my machines are running Windows 7 64-Bit and it will stop or start them regardless of a restart, yet my Vista 32-Bit after a restart the services have reset themselves.

    The Export picture is going to be removed anyhow, I'm replacing it with a button.

    Okay, maximize issue fixed (thanks PAYMYRENT), service processes edited and fixed, even though I'm sure it was working before hand. A few things to tweak tomorrow and BETA 3 will be released.

    EDIT: I meant BETA 4, damnit.

    Hmm, never realized that, most likely because I've looked at it every day for the last month aha. I'll look into what's causing it. Not really sure if it's a massive issue tbh. Let me know if you spot any problems.

    Seems I'm getting close to final release ;)

    EDIT: In BETA 5 (so far.)

    1. All tools are now threaded and timers have been removed
    2. All registry commands fixed and keys closed after use
    3. Re-wrote the process of installing and removing Take Ownership
    4. Freed memory and fix bugs with memory not being returned
    5. All unhandled cross thread errors fixed
    6. Fixed multiple string replacement bugs when reading the latest WEI XML.

    Forgive me asking, what do you mean exactly by "timers" in that context?

    Timers can run code every so often (increment). I used them to do checks, refresh things, etc.

    Now WinTK has threads it can run simultaneous functions and code, making it faster and more stable.
