Description Credit to martz90.deviantart.com/ for the icons!

Quick guide on how to edit the skins: i.imgur.com/sPX59Ws.png

Right click and select edit settings to see all the available options. There you will also find the actions you can change so that the Icons will work when you click on them!

If you want to update the skin to the most recent version without screwing up your icons etc, copy all the icon pictures and actions from the user variables, and replace those with the new skin. 

To change: 
    - Seperate certain variables to make updating easy.
    - Make the animation speed variable.


Changelog:

18/2/2016 - 1.2
Changed a lot in the background of the skin which should improve overall experience.
This update includes:
    - Center Icon is no longer necessary, but still an option. 
    - Mouse over that starts the skin is now fixed, and the resizing of the center icons won't cause any trouble anymore.
    - Extra loading bar that prevents the skin from acting weird when you hover over it without actually wanting to open anything.
    - Loads faster after the short (around .3 seconds) load time to compensate.
    - The area that the skin takes in is now smaller when not hovering over the icon. This means that you can actually click things behind the expanded circle when it is not expanded.
    - Colors of loading circle are now changeable in the usersettings.
    - Less prone to lag.
    - Less buggy and less weird stuff in general!

17/2/2016 1.0
    - less buggy text + easy custom text
    - Make the icons and actions when you click them easy to change
    - Custom colors

16/2/2016 - 0.8
    - Changed the animation to make it more fluent and a little bit quicker. 
    - Now works without clicking, just hover your mouse over/away from the circles!
    - Started doing some math, now the Icons align like they should
    - Added text in the center

Yup! Thanks for the suggestions! Sometimes I overlook issues, or just don't notice a change that could improve the skin. That's why I brought out a really early version hoping that I could get some feedback, with the result that I could get a pretty nice 1.0 version out right away.

Great launcher! Can't wait for updates. Especially hoping for the animations to be a bit faster.
