First of all I apoligize for not just automatically giving this a glowing review. So before people start yelling at me just know that. I think this is nice. However I was hoping the portions that deal with desktop icons to be more automatic. This is still very seperate from the windows desktop and I would like to see it take over the desktops icon functionality. If you right click on the desktop and make a new folder it should automatically show up as a desklet folder. If you save an image on the desktop it should automatically show up as a desklet. If you hit delete it should remove the desklet and send the file to the trash. If you hit shift+delete it should delete the file. You get my drift. In other words have the functions the normal Windows icons have in addition to your features.
What would be good for the function that hides the icon if the drive is not mounted is for example if you have 2 CD\DVD Drives for the second one to go right under the last non cd desklet and then below it if there is another cd desklet. Or if you duplicate a desklet it should not pile up. If you plug in a new drive or when it first starts up I think it should see the drive and automatically create a desklet for it have auto hide on by default, and if a person doesn't want it they can turn it off in the advanced options.
There are 2 other things, the labels should be accessible from the right click menu in a sub-menu and there should be a blur function for the label text shadows.

It's good to hear feedback from the community on every app brought through the doors of Aqua Soft. We are especially lucky to have someone as talented as AndreasV finding a home here, releasing apps specifically for the Aqua community. This is where the strength of AquaSoft is - in its developers and in the communities feedback to those developers.
Smoke: The add item functionality you want WAS originally in the Betas. Anytime an item was copied to the desktop or a new item was added it also added an identical desklet. For someone like myself it was a nightmare - I use the desktop to move hundreds of files a day. I don't know if you read all of the original release post, but AndreasV has already addressed this issue...

Also, a desktop plugin that will convert your desktop icons into desklets at real-time, will come pretty soon.
So I don't really see your complaint/ issue here... it was adressed in the original post.
Your drives request I dont understand. You seem to want this application to be more of a shell replacement instead of a widget/ gadget system that compliments the desktop. I have no idea where AndreasV would take this app... to a full shell replacement or just a standalone application like Konfabulator or DesktopX. Personally, I like it how it is.
I disagree with your request for label access from the right click menu. To me you might as well ask for the entire dialog to be accessable from the right click menu by focusing on such a small option. IMO, "Add new Desklet" would be the first and most reasonable addition to the right click menu, bringing up the the New Desklet dialog.
As for Double D and Unbeliever 'yelling' at you, it comes across as you yelling at Double D. Just a little FYI. People are happy this is out, constructive critisism is welcome, but lets try not to stir up a huge issue about you not being listened to. Honestly, its all about AndreasV and Avedesk 1.1 right now, not you.

). My reason for not yet releasing it along with the application is that I heard most of the testers asking for a way to disable it. If you want, I can send the extra files to you. Just drop a line at 
Thanks guys!!!!!!
