Hehe, there ya go. Now you're getting the idea :2thumbsup:

It doesn't seem all that crowded to me. If I could figure out what to do with the blank space on mine, I'd surely fill it up with controls and frames. I need to learn how to use tcl a bit more tho. I have tons of ideas just don't know how to implement them yet.

Oh, and was experiemtning in faking out BBI to get rounded frames. I think theres prolly an easier way to do this, but this is what ive come up with:

Create a frame of the size you want on the desktop. And make it the max size that you have the edges go to. Screenshot it, crop out the frame(all you need is the size, you could prolly just create a new photoshop project with the size that you made the frame as i guess). From there I went around the edges of the cropped frame with the eraser to get it transparent. Had to make sure it was totally unfeathered or else is screwed up in BBI. I got the corners roughly rounded, and saved the .png(gotta make sure it is png). So from there you add the immage to the fame, and then in that fram you set the style as "none" and there you have it. A rounded frame that is NOT resizable in real time ><

Apparently, the BBI creator, psyci, is working on adding rounded corners to a future build.

Whoa F3ar0n, am I seeing that right? Your hard drive temp is 255!?!? Hahaha...that's a bit high!

FYI, hard drive temp shouldn't exceed the 120-130F range.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

wow..I never would of even thought of doing that Agent..That sounds sweet. I'll have to config it. Oh and I def didn't set the value for that hd temp right. Had to have mixed it up with free ram value or something. I'll have to check that out...Otherwise my hd is melting as i type.
