SKINNING TUTORIAL included !~!
Published on April 16, 2007 By MySecret In New Releases

Need more themes for 2.1 so all the new extras work!

Apart that Rainlendar V2 requires about 100 png's and about 15 .xml it should be perhaps nice
As far as i'm concerned, for sure i'll stay with Rainlendar V 0.22.1 which brings enough features for me ...

Hmmm. Maybe I'll roll back. Have to think about it. Thanks, neophil. Any word on HE suite? WB? DX?
