Hi Rob,
1) Yes. I'll put a comment in the wallpaper so it helps the users.
2) No problem with the two Sage items, I'll research about the
login and password or directly ask Alfredo how he did it.
3) That is the idea of the taskbar, to be extremely minimal and to
switch between windows using Alt + Tab. Do you think is better
to make it bigger, like it was before? If so I change it.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Greetings,
Lucio.
