- Launcher or from the Start Menu.
- Added support for gradient-based color packs.
- Added Shell Context Menu action for removing the current icon assigned to
- any folder, wether it was set with icomancer or not.
- Added functionality to assign pre-generated images from Downloaded Content Packs.

- Fixed an error that made the application crash when it wasn't able to download
- an "anonymous" license.

New in icomancer 1.0.3.76 Beta (Jul 9, 2012)
- Fixed an error that prevented the proper initialization at first run for very rare cases.
- Added some version checking comparison fixes.
- When the crafter was closed before finishing building previews, it crashed.
- Under some circumstances, the Updater Dialog was improperly launched after closing the Online Collections Browser and caused a crash when closed.
- Fixed a potential bug in date comparison function (additional to the version checking comparison fixed stated above).
- When autocrafting (embodying an image from the shell context menu), image names where possibly repeated, causing an eventual crash in the Crafted Images Browser within the Crafter. An error preventing snippet was added in the loader of the mentioned browser for those users that where unknowingly caught by this bug.
- An ImageMagick detector was placed on startup (for those users that downloaded the Stand-alone setup package and didn't have ImageMagick installed).
- Crafter: avoided uploading of the "Mona Lisa" image. It is useless to upload this one!
- Imbuer: under some circumstances, the Imbuer used to overwrite the "Skeleton" settings. This was fixed.
- [CRITICAL] Imbuer: when the Skeleton didn't have the system default settings for style (Normal/flat), it used to crash because the required images where not pre-composed.
- [Improvement] Crafter: added a legend stating the need to load an image for crafting, 'cause this Operation Mode is not made to assign just colors/textures/styles to the folders (That's the Imbuer for), but to compose folder icons based on pictures.
- [Improvement] Crafter: the default folder to pick images from is now the current user's "My Pictures" folder -it was the App's Program Files folder-.
- [Improvement] Added a pre-generated image cleaner that runs when closing the Launcher. This will keep the cache small and fast and will help in preventing the hard disk fragmentation.
New in icomancer 1.0.2.74 Beta (Jul 5, 2012)

- Fixed some typos in GUI elements.
- Polished the Launcher's Online Collection Browser window.
- Highlighted all the info tips from the Online Libraries Browsers to make obvious when a locally existing item is being selected.
