Ok, now that we've gotten 1.6 out and done a bit of a reset on what 2.0 (Codename: Leo) will be, I've posted 2.0 Beta 4. This is mainly a rebuild of 2.0 Beta 3 with the 1.6 localizations, minor fixes, Windows 7 taskbar and new installer. So, this is a quick update for those on the beta track adding in all the new fixes and enhancements. We'll be following this up with Beta 5 later this month with some of the long-awaited new features (there's no need to bring them up again... we know... they're coming).
What's New in 2.0 Beta 4 from 1.6?
Theme Switching - Seven colors (Red, Bronze, Green, Blue, Violet, Black and Silver) are included with the PortableApps.com Platform along with the ability to load other themes in PATheme format (an example is included below).
Fixed System Tray Icon - The system tray icon will now properly show and hide the menu, fixing an issue in 1.6 that caused the menu to sometimes not hide properly.

KNOWN ISSUES
Uninstallation Window Slow - For larger apps, the uninstallation window will appear to hang if you try to click on it repeatedly on Vista. It is still running and will still update to show the current directory being removed (unless you click on it and Vista stops allowing the window to update).
