Ill post a few more screen shots for you guys if you want. And yes I wasn't ENTIRELY happy with what i did with the Back, Change Sorting, etc either, but i couldnt think of a nice clean (and stylish!) way to do it. That was the best i could come up with, if you have suggestions I'm more than happy to hear them out! (refer to post 1 for screens)

(We're also cooking up something that will make the process of making contributions of any kind less cumbersome [as well as more pleasant in a number of ways] than having to maintain a patch against svn HEAD until said patch magically lands there. If you're a version control junkie, you'll probably have a good idea of what it will be, but we're going to go full-on with it probably over the weekend.) If you feel like having a word with us about what you're doing, come and join dev IRC.
Ive only done some minor changes, although i do feel that they are important still for my own use.
1. If there is a songs folder in the FoFiX directory, it will automatically use that rather than prompting. I felt that the old dialog was very un-userfriendly
2. I made it so that it is truly portable. Settings are saved in the directory rather than in the app data folder. The base libray path is also dynamically changed... (it checks to see if the current one actually exists, if it doesn't it will default to FoFiX directory/songs. If that to does not exist, it will prompt to choose a directory manually)
3. I changed some graphics for icons and stuff around.
4. Did some misc debugging for song selection.
5. Attempted to make the GH3 HO/PO system, that went WAY over my head. The Ho/Po system is quite complicated, or at least, what i was looking at to try and comprehend how to implement my own....
Main reason why im not contributing with my changes is, im sure there is plenty of reasons why some of the things are they way they are. And im not a guru at python or anything(my programming background is mostly PHP and Visual Basic .net (+ a bit of C#), so im sure my solutions are quite inefficient compared to what other programmers could write.
