 the next pre-release build for 8.2: os8.2-761.  This build will be created
 sometime early tomorrow.  It's very possible that this *will be* our final

The icon for the control panel has been changed, in the latest builds 
(it is a a wrench now). Maybe you want to update the screenshot of the 
xo-menu in the home view section.

Best,
Simon

2008-09-23 Thread Bobby Powers
it generally looks great seth.

the only thing I don't get is the 'record' shaped button up top that
is labeled home.  It seems to actually be linked to back. is this
intentional, or the case of too much to do, too little time?

yours,
Bobby
