      @masteryoer I'm using a windows build and I saw the boxes too (I downloaded your theme from git and installed it). It might be an artifact from one of the other systems that hasn't been styled yet.

      Cool UI. Did you have to dig into the guts and recompile ES to do that? (Imagine if we could style the UI from the theme, how cool would that be?)

        @mattrixk Yes, I had to dig into the source. Somebody was working on getting the UI pulled out and able to be themed. There is actually some code already in the source to do that, but Aloshi compiled the resources into the source, so I am not sure how to tell the system to use a path, and not the compiled source.

        (There's a check to see if the resources are compiled into the system to use them, and if not look in (path:) for them). I am not completely familiar with the source code though to be able to modify it enough to enable that functionality.

        You can actually find the source for it here:
