This update cleans up a few things with the gadget, mostly optimization and code.  So while there isn’t anything new, we have eliminated the auto-update checker (because no one was using it anyways and it’s pinging our server like nobody’s business), spruced up the code and redesigned the settings panel.  We’ve also moved the data file to a different directory, so you’ll have to reconfigure the gadget when you upgrade, but it shouldn’t take more than a minute to do.

This update sets the gadget up for future update where we can actually begin adding in more buttons and controls.  Just had to do some house cleaning first.

If you haven’t checked out System Control yet, please do, it’s extremely useful.
