In the screenshots I have used a slightly modified version of Branis' Anaemic skin, the NS Kit7 Free from Natural Studio and guido's NS_Kit7 DK+ bank preset. My thanks to them all.
Depending on the DK+ skin you are using, some of the buttons and icons may look different.
Text in this colour indicates a significant change since the previous issue.
This is a "Work In Progress", so please forgive any errors or omissions, but let me know what they are so I can fix them. Please send me (DarkStar) a PM via KvR if you would like to suggest any additions, improvements or corrections
