It is a nice way to learn how to use the template system and what does what and not.

If you prefer a different setup, you are ofcourse free to do so to your liking.

The box's are marked - so it should be easy to modify it.

Yeah, it shouldn't really not work. I didn't notice much changes. An improved version for beta 5 will hopefully be released in a week or so.

Thank you for testing it for us Dan :)

It took me 3 minutes to create it, 5 more minutes to tweak it and another 10 minutes to find out it was limited by a small bug in vb3 :D

It takes about 4 minutes to install.

It took me 30 minutes to make test it and make the screenshots and the installation file and upload it.
