Well the plan is to keep development with this application, but the hard part about fixing the bugs is that parts of the code are needed that the developer didn't release before leaving. This code is a big portion of the things needed, and without it someone would have to revamp the whole application. It would be much easier to just make a whole new application instead of messing with this one. It is a great application, but I don't think that it is appropriate to mod and hack someone's application without their discretion. If someone knew how to contact the Developer then they should ask him for the source code. That would be a great start.
Plus, I'm trying to learn Visual Basic myself so my skills aren't that strong yet, but I can still make one heck of a skin, ha ha!
