AveDesk 1.3 Preview

I'm slowly working on AveDesk 1.3. The main changes will be in the interface, thus a lot of usability issues will hopefully be resolved.

What has been changed so far?

Control Panel

The old control panel was too hard to use. Simple text-descriptions of running desklets are not very easy to remember and use. That's where graphics will help a lot:

Labels

Picking the right label was a lot of work: searching the name, clicking, appying and searching for the desklet on te screen to see if it looks good. Small change, but a lot better:

Other

Desklet labels are no longer a `dead` part of the desklet; they will actually respons to mouseclicks. So it will be possible to move desklets by moving their label.

Clicking-mode:

I've got some more stuff I'm still working on, but I really would like your input for AveDesk 1.3: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=25687
