"WPF-enabled" graphics will be fantastic, But, I agree Wes, that Bug-Squishing and "caleanup" is WAY more important. I am so happy to hear from you (and from what I have seen on mantis lately) that improved stability seems to be one of the highest priorities now.
I'm probably opening myself up to a whole load of trouble but if anybody wants to have ambience covers as default appear in the skin start listing artists and i'll see what i can do...
