They were mostly cosmetic ones. If I didn't announce it in the forum,
nothing to care about until I post about it. I just did it as I tended
to forgot about cosmetic stuffs recently. Here where I live, uploading
this small size of file is as easy as saving to the hard disk. And as
I always customized my version, mostly removed what are unnecessary to
me, like close button and naturally the last event before the quit, I
can't just upload what I'm using as it is. So, whenever I modified it,
I also modified the one in the file section before I forgot it if time
allowed. So, really nothing to loose track about. Anyway, it's just a
script, all is there, nothing under the hood like undocumented API's.

So, a brief comment would help the situation? I bet you always feel
that way no matter how detailed the comments are, until you read
documentations about the API's used.

Maybe it's me, however, I don't think I've ever helped by the comments
in the scripts. I always tried to understand the scripts by the codes
themselves. So, what mostly irritated me were the ones to make me jump
from here to there, which greatly reduced my concentrations. IMHO,
good scripts which deepen understandings on whatever are not the one
with detailed comments, but the one to keep concentrations on until
the end.

I don't understand. There can't be anything hidden in my script. Isn't
it one of the merits of the scripts over the plugins and executables:
nothing under the hood? Anyway, if you think I better not post the
scripts, I'll not, no problem with me. OTOH, you must understand
writing plugins instead is not easy to me. I'd inevitably feel a
barrier, at least psychologically. I've never studied/coded on C/C++,
and even never complied anything written in them myself. So, writing a
script is whole lot easier to me than trying to write a plugin.
