NRC public beta 2 was released:
*Netbook Resolution Customizer Beta2:
A totally new astray plus like utility for all netbooks with intel graphic device.
You can google a useable Linux Modeline for your monitor and get a windows resolution with the modeline.
UIs and functions was tested working fine, but I dont have a real netbook to test it.
So, if you find any problem please contact me!
I recommend epc701 users to use astray+ 1.3.7 for that is the most stable one.

19,Fix: Some minor bugs and memory leaks.
20,And maybe more... I've rewrited over 80% codes of AsTray Plus since version 1.2. So, I just can't remember every thing, sorry!^^
*Konwn issues:
1, If you see a square blinking on the right bottom in some games, please disable the keyboard state.
Wondering if you need one more param to control keyboard state in games.
2, Some games may cause a crash and reboot of windows with downscaling, it is recommeded to exit astray plus before you play this kind of games.
This really depends on the game itself.
3, When the cursor was hided by appwatching, it can't be showed after the app closed. You need to click one button of your mouse to recovery it.
There is a way to fix this, but it costs far more cpu and memoery usage. So, I decided to leave it there, since it's not a serious problem.
