Well here's the thing.
As I see it we are BETA testing right (if you check your TLB settings and it says Beta then you are a beta tester)
The purpose of BETA testers is to contribute to the greater development of the program 'for the general public' not just quote 'to suggest improvements in the areas that matter to ME !!!'
My comment was intended to point out that reliable functionally improvements to True Launch Bar are more important (and more commercial) than 'eye candy'
If you look back over the version history from about relase 1-13 you'll see that quite a lot of Yuri's effort has gone into skinning, transparency and icon sizes which are nice to have and appeal to the 'geek' but don't sell to the general public as much as say a full featured DRAG and DROP function which the average user can understand more easily.
What's the point of eventually having the prettiest launch bar around if all it does is look good and is not as smart or smarter than an improved Windows Quick launch.
And I know '*for a fact* MS has release plans for an upgraded Quick Launch that does a lot of what TLB does now.
Let's not get sidetracked (and eventually left behind) is the point of my message.
