To all who have pm'd me and volunteered to test and generate skins, The inital ALPHA release of Kymaera is now available at the Emutron download page on my web site. The direct link is:

As stated , this is an Alpha release of Kymaera, this means that if you are looking for a 100% working and bug-free front end, this is not it. I have decided to make this release of Kymaera available for bug testing and for skin creation.
[/disclaimer]
I would like to thank everyone who pm'd and emailed me volunteering to test Kymaera. With your help, I know we can make this a great front end. Now is your chance to provide some feedback on features and bugs you may(and will) encounter.
If you decide to create a skin for Kymaera, or port a skin from another FE to the Kymaera skn format, please email it to me so I can post it to my web site for all to download.
A few notes about the skinner:Save all resources(images) for the skins in a sub-directory under the skins directory. Kymaera uses relative paths wherever possible, so if you stay under the Kymaera directory, all the resource should be fine when you zip up the skin.
Bug ReportingIf you encounter a bug, please post it to this message thread, and I will attempt to resolve it immediately.
Feature listIf you would like to see a feature incorporated in Kymaera, speak up, and I'll probably put it on my to-do list.
QuestionsCurrently, there is NO documentation provided with Kymaera. Hopefully, a few of you can take some screen shots and write down what does what and save it to a html doc, this would help me immensely. I can fill in any blanks if you don't know what a button does or how a feature works.
Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll try to answer them.
Thank you to everyone in advance.
