I've pushed 0.5.1 tonight; if fixes an uninstallation buglet that could leave you without a taskbar after uninstalling EvilDesk.

The only new feature is being able to select how many workspaces the alt-tab task switcher will cycle through; you can use up to 32, with the default being 4.

I was just curious if the source is released somewhere? I wan't able to find any references to it.

Plenty of my other code is OpenSource, so I don't feel compelled to open this project at this time.

Wez, I am enjoying your creation Evildesk immensely! It combines just the right degree of minimalism and configurability for my taste.

Keep up the good work!

Because I find myself having to continually re-start the Evil Shell, I felt the need to associate an icon with the executable, wezdesk.exe

Here is what I found:

Just wanted to say thank you. I've tried many shells (including the oh-so famous Litestep and SharpE), but I've found EvilDesk waaaaay better. At least it's perfect for my needs. Easy installing (and in case something went wrong, de-installing), totally uncluttered desktop, maximal functionality. The configuration of the slit and the plugins is a bit complicated, but hey... what the heck.

Keep up the good work! Cheers! -Zoltan from Hungary

Hello! I would like to say I like this program very much. It's using so little resources and is still looking very nice! Two questions though:

1. When using Alt-tab to navigate open tasks, I noticed that Explorer windows have no icon associated. It's no big deal, but still perhaps some little thing for a next update.

2. Is it in any way possible to use the 'multimedia-keys' on my keyboard (you know, the ones to launch a media-player or e-mail program) using the .evdm file?

Thanks, Shib.
