Next time I will wait until everything is 100% as I have learned my lesson this time. Also thanks in advance for the donation and don't worry about amount. Any donation is appreciated and goes towards software I use to make these taskbars.

Hi everyone. Yes, I have taken a little time away from everything. Over the last week, I have come very close to walking away from this project due to the behavior, poor and demanding attitudes and a general sense of frustration at the lack of appreciation. I'm still not totally convinced that I want to continue, but to put things in perspective, I have a son that just turned 2, a wife that works 60 hours a week, I and have been job hunting/unemployeed for 4 freakin' months Finally starting a new position on 4-1! Yay!). So I think I can be forgiven for getting a little stressed. I genuinely enjoy helping everyone, but I wasn't born with this knowledge, I learned it through trial and error and asking questions about how could I do this myself, not 'can you change/do/fix this'. All of us on the TB6 team are pretty discouraged by the negative attitudes and the constant complaints. It's frustrating and it really doesn't do a lot to encourage us to keep going.
So, please, be respectful, and please be aware of what you are asking.We switched out something approaching 550 individual icons. One at a time. Resized, edited, created, you name it. So before you pop of about how this TB stinks and you are switching to someone else (which is fine, btw, hope you enjoy it), take a moment to think about the work that we put into this. Yes, not everyone is going to like it. Personal styles are just that: PERSONAL. It's not an insult to you that we didn't make the taskbar just the way you wanted it. Sorry, if you want it exactly how you want it to look, it's time to learn how to do this yourself. Don't take it out on us or the other developers. That's not cool, and it discourages others from wanting to try this. This is also why ROM chefs bail out and stop posting as well.
I'm sorry if this has been a bit rambling, but It's somethings that I felt I needed to say. And to those of you that have been nothing but supportive, or willing to dig in and learn, THANKS!
