Release 6 has been submitted to the store!

Update (1/15/2013): Release 6 is in the store! You should see the update today sometime.

Well Release 5 has just hit the store this morning and already the next one is in for certification! That's what happens when they take 2 days (it usually seems to take that long over the weekend) to approve a release...I already have the next one ready to go.

This isn't a huge update, but it does bring a few small things that should have been there already, such as adding Elapsed Time and Remaining Time to both the standard and full screen views in the Media Player. I also added a position slider to the full screen view so you can navigate your videos without having to drop out of full screen mode. This media player is actually one of the most functional options you have in the Windows 8 Store now! And it's only part of the package. Playlist support is in the works, and then it will be really useful as a primary media player.

Also in this update is the ability to change the home screen image! This is in response to some requests that I add the federation logo instead of the galaxy image. Rather than do that, I figure I would give YOU the choice on what should be there. You can add any picture you want, and it will copy it so if you move it later it will still be your home screen image until you change it in the program. I may add more customization options later, so if you have any desires in that regard, I'm open to hearing your ideas!
