    + Status Bar: Now you can adjust the width of the first two sections of the status bar 
      by hitting Shift+Alt+Wheel over them. The width is increased or decreased in steps 
      of 10 pixels. The minimum width is 40 pixels, the maximum is the screen width.
      In case you don't have a mouse wheel (or if "Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Fonts | Enable zoom by Ctrl+mouse wheel" is disabled) you can tweak it here. Note 
      that these values are not the widths but the pixels that are *added* to the default 
      widths, and they can be negative.
      Example:
        StatusBarSection1WidthAdd=10
        StatusBarSection2WidthAdd=-10
    + Info Panel | Find Files: Now you can pop the context menu of the Find Now button 
      also by right-clicking the area right of the right-most tab header ("Excluded").

    * Custom File Icons: Failed to add embedded/extracted icons to the jumbo image list 
      and eventually had to give up. As a result, the embedded icons have been removed. 
    + Custom File Icons: The above mentioned removed icons are now part of the download 
      package, as ICO files. If you want to use them, these are the definitions for Tools 
      | Customize File Icons...:
        *\ /x><xypath>\XYicon_FolderDenied.ico //matches all accessed denied folders
        *\ /e><xypath>\XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
      In an upcoming release, they will be part of the factory setup.
    ! Thumbnails/Tiles Views: Fixed some minor icon drawing inconsistencies. Tested only 
      for Win8.1 at 100% and at 125%.

    + Custom File Icons: Added 3 more icons to the package, one "FolderGeneric" (to be 
      used as a replacement for the default folder icon of your Windows version) and a 
      green and a gray one (currently not used, do what you want with them).
        *\><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGeneric.ico //matches all folders
      Big thanks to Brian Johnson for making the Windows 11 style color icons!
    + Custom File Icons: A fresh installation now comes with three ready-made CFI 
      definitions for folder icons. They also serve as cute examples of how it's done. 
      Custom File Icons is now disabled by default, and the "Enable Custom File Icons" 
      button is now part of the standard toolbar. So the newbie can experience the miracle 
      with a simple click.

    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Didn't work for compressed folders in Win10 and later. 
      Fixed.
    ! Icons: At screen resolution > 100% and Windows version >= Win10 icons in a certain 
      size that had a link overlay were drawn incorrectly (too large, and the overlays too 
      low).
      You know, drawing icons in Windows is a black box with a lot of buttons, and an 
      alien nameless intelligence that changes with every version of Windows also pushes 
      those buttons all the time. Not complaining, makes it interesting.

    + Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons: Added option "Draw hidden 
      icons ghosted". Check it to do what it says. The default is ON, as this is the 
      Windows standard. Now you can turn it off to drive the ghosts away.
    ! Custom File Icons: Extracted icons did not work for compressed files. Fixed.
    > Custom File Icons: In general, extracted icons are not fully recommended for use in 
      CFI. Due to problems with the jumbo image list, they only work reliably up to a size 
      of 48x48.
    ! Icons: At screen resolution > 100% and Windows version >= Win10 icons in a certain 
      size that had a link overlay were drawn incorrectly (too large, and the overlays too

    - Content-Based Folder Icons: Removed the "n" switch. That wasn't the right place for 
      the logic because only *after* the check we know whether a folder is empty, filled, 
      or access denied, so it's pointless to have individual network switches for /e /f /x.
    + Content-Based Folder Icons: Now there's a global setting "Check Network Locations 
      for Content-Based Folder Icons" and it's in the context menu of the "Enable custom 
      file icons" toolbar button. I know, clumsy and hidden, but once you know it, it's 
      very handy compared to the "n" switch.

    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters | Enable color filters: The list

      disabled interface, and it's pointless and redundant here.

v24.60.0000 - 2023-06-24 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Custom Folder Icons. Now the download package contains five colored folder icons in 
      Windows 11 style for your pleasure. Three of them are predefined as Custom File 
      Icons. Seeing them in action is just a click away. You get a cute yellow generic 
      folder icon, a blue icon for empty folders, and a red one for inaccessible folders. 
      Looks good and is more helpful than you might think. Give it a try!
  +++ Deghost Your Icons. Now you can control whether the icons of hidden items are drawn 
      in this ghostly, semi-transparent way (Windows default) or not.
  +++ Peek at Embedded Icons. Now you can use the wheel to scroll through all the embedded 
      icons in an icon resource and see their full list.
  +++ Status Bar Section Width. Now you can adjust the width of the first two sections of 
      the status bar by hitting Shift+Alt+Wheel over them.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
