    + Tweak to draw a flat background to the Tab Bar:
        TabFlatBack=1
      Ultra-flat. Love it! Made it the factory default for Windows 8 and later.
    * Address Bar: Experimentally also this control shows no border now when 
      Configuration | Styles | Borders is set to "White border" or No border".
      Windows 8 and later only.

v14.40.0001 - 2014-08-26 18:34
    * Toolbars: All small toolbars are now drawn using the Window Theme (Vista 
      and later).
      The main toolbar, however, is kept in the old style. Here the Window Theme 
      possibilities are simply not sufficient to create a good interface.
    * Toolbars: The section separators got flat.
    * Status Bar: The section separators got flat.
    * Info Panel: The tabs got a new flat style. Also the tab heads got higher 
      to make a larger target.
      If you don't like it you can tweak it away using TabIPVisualStyle.
      Note: If "Configuration | Tabs | Visual style" is set to XYplorer Classic 
      the Info Panel will be in Classic style as well.
    ! SC property: Argument "#mp3.year" did not work, e.g: 
        property("#mp3.year", "<curitem>");
      Fixed.

v14.40.0002 - 2014-08-27 18:56
    * Raw View: Now flat.
    * Tab Bar: Experimentally reduced the gap between the tab headers by one 
      pixel from 0 to -1. This removes the ugly and totaly useless doubled lines 
      between the tabs. Now we got tight tabs!
      Looks great with the Win8 default theme (and also saves horizontal space, 
      about 1 pixel per tab). The questions is whether this looks good with all 
      Window Themes.
      (Only applied when Configuration | Tabs | Visual style = Windows Themes.)
    * Tab Bar: The left-most tab header did not fully left-align but was 
      indented by one pixel. That was done on purpose in those non-flat days, 
      but now it looks disturbing. The left-most tab header now is fully 
      left-aligned.
      (Only applied when Configuration | Tabs | Visual style = Windows Themes. 
      The other style was left-aligned anyway.)
    + SC SaveSettings enhanced.
      Syntax: savesettings [settings=all]
        settings: (bit field)
               0 = (none)
               1 = ini
               2 = catalog
               4 = udc.dat
               8 = ks.dat
              16 = fvs.dat
              32 = tag.dat
              64 = pv.dat
             128 = servers.dat
             256 = action.dat
            1023 = [Default] all settings
      Example:
        savesettings 3; //saves ini and catalog
    ! Catalog: Highlighting hovered items did not work anymore for a couple of 
      days. Fixed.

v14.40.0003 - 2014-08-27 21:46
    * Tweak FlatPlusMinus has been replaced by tweak TreeExpansionIcon.
        TreeExpansionIcon=0 //3D plus/minus icon
        TreeExpansionIcon=1 //flat plus/minus icon
        TreeExpansionIcon=2 //Windows Themes plus/minus icon
        TreeExpansionIcon=3 //custom triangle icon (experimental)
      Note 1: TreeExpansionIcon=2 (Windows Themes plus/minus icon) will draw the 
      same icon for Maxi and Mini Tree.
      Note 2: Curiously I did not find the Win8 themes triangle icon in the API.
    * Catalog: Minor graphical change.

v14.40.0004 - 2014-08-28 11:20
    + Breadcrumbs: Added tweak CrumbShowBorder. Set it to 1 to show a left and 
      right border in the Breadcrumb Bar according to the selected border style 
      in Configuration.
        CrumbShowBorder=1
      Showing a border better matches certain extreme color configurations.
    ! SC SaveSettings recent documentation was wrong. Here are the correct numbers:
      Syntax: savesettings [settings=all]
        settings: (bit field)
               0 = (none)

              16 = servers.dat (cached servers)
              32 = fvs.dat
              64 = tag.dat
             128 = action.dat (action log, undo/redo data)
             256 = pv.dat (permanent variables)
             512 = Language.ini (holds name of current language file)
            1023 = [Default] all above settings
    ! Info Panel: Pixel dirt in TabIPVisualStyle=0. Fixed.

    = MAINTENANCE RELEASE.
  +++ Minor bug fixes and enhancements.

v14.40.0005 - 2014-08-28 17:25
    + Tree: Hold CTRL and right-click an expansion icon to get a small menu with 
      all options for expansion icons.
      As you will see I added another style (Square). It works well IMO but 
      it looks similar to checkboxes which is a bit confusing.
    * TreeExpansionIcon: Triangle style now draws enlarged triangles on larger 
      font sizes, just like the plus/minus styles.
    ! Tab Bar: Drawing glitch on font size change under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Tab Bar: Icons were drawn 1 pixel too far to the left since v14.40.0002. 
      Fixed.

    * Miscellaneous | General Functions | Toggle Main Menu: Removed the default KS 
      Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F12. There is no more factory default KS for this function. 
      Too often users got rid of their menu without knowing how to get it back.
    * Narrow Tree: A little narrower.
    ! Narrow Tree: Fixed a drawing glitch at the top node.
    ! Tree Node Crumbs: The top node's menu did not show the correct items.

    * Tabs: Now you can customize the background colors of tabs even in style 
      "Windows Themes". Note that the result might not look so great with any 
      theme. It certainly works well with the default themes of Win7 and Win8. 
      You simply need to tick the following new checkbox to make it happen...
    + Configuration | Colors: Added option "Use tabs custom colors". Tick it to 
      actually apply the colors defined above the checkbox.
    * Configuration | Colors: "Tab Headers" is now called "Tabs".
    % SC replace: Made it much faster.
    % SC replacelist: Made it a little faster.
    * Tools | Customize Tree | Show PlusMinus: Renamed to "Show Expansion Icons".
    * Locked Tabs: Now you can run and remove a Quick Search within a locked 
      tab. Before, this was only possible for opening and removing a Branch View.

    * Tabs | New Tab button: With tab style "Windows Themes" and a flat 
      background (tweak TabFlatBack=1) the New Tab button is now drawn without 
      background or border, looking pretty slick.
    * Configuration | Colors: Renamed "Use tabs custom colors" to "Apply 
      colors". The original wording was a bit confusing.
    ! Undesired behavior on startup in relation with "Configuration | Startup & 
      Exit | Open command line start path in new tab" and "Configuration | 
      Startup & Exit | No network browsing on startup". Fixed.
    ! Tabs: Fixed more glitches with the new custom colors.
