* Created a nicer looking icon instead of the please donate one
* Increased rotation speed and decreased the time it takes to fade back to the cube after closing a launched program.
* Reduced sensitivity on Minimize cube as it was too sensitive for some devices.

Bugs Found:

* Background Picture bleeding on some applications that open.
* The WHOLE SCLPC++ Folder MUST be placed here : /Application Data/SCLPC++ or adding a contact WILL NOT WORK!
* Because of an absolute path in the cube it must be stored on the device not on a SD card….although you can configure it on the Device then transfer it to your SD card and it has been reported to work this way.

Still Left ToDo:

* Compile this with the Full Edgelib Library!!!
