    incomplete instruction… it stated for beginners and it doesn’t show a clear and thorough procedure. You should have stated for ADVANCED USERS since you assumed the reader to be very much aware of the tools.

    Thanks for your effort!

    question: does the part in the middle have to stay purple (as in your one) or can we change it to black?

    Posted by chris on January 4, 2011 at 6:25 pm

    It doesn’t have to stay purple, but in my case it doesn’t matter that much. Glad you like it.
