Maybe totally unrelated, but I notice that since installing this, I have a few blank tiles.

I haven't made the move to Windows 8 yet, but with this program and Start8, I'm seriously thinking of putting it on my touchscreen at least. It wasn't going to be an option until I knew Stardock was going to be able to develop probrams for W8.

Being a heavy Rainmeter user, I had the look of W8 on my desktop with the Omnimo suite http://omnimo.info/ two years ago, so for me, W8 didn't look like anything new to me!

Thanks Stardock!
