Snapshot - Build 789

[*] End Mon duration is now specified in seconds and can be greater than 32
[+] Improved "auto-truncate time" option. You can now insert a "!" character to
    specify the minimum number of characters to remain in the final string.

    "0" characters, but also ":" and "." characters.

    (OverlayOutlineColor, OverlayOutlineWidth). This feature is mutually
    exclusive with the OverlayBackgroundColor setting.
[+] Appearance of all list/tree-style browsers can be changed trough skin.ini:
    BackgroundColor, FontName/FontSize/FontColor/FontStyle, NodeHeight,
    plus several colors (TreeLineColor, FocusedSelectionColor etc.)
