- Minor changes to Overclocking feature (trying to fix flickering and high CPU usage, please report if you had issues with previous builds)

I get "Error Saving Settings" when I try to enable the overclocking in Settings/Advanced.
But in the new skin it looks like the overclocking page is always there, enabled or disabled.
Btw, where is that box that identifies the game I ran in the new nVidia looking skin?

[FDisk80]

I'm back to default skin, to much bugs with the nVidia looking one.
But in the last update this happened

[japamd]

Sorry about that, there are issues with large fonts I'm going to address as soon the problem gets more stable.

The latest version has lots of updates that should fix some of issues you're getting with Verde skin, did you tried it?

Thanks.

Can you please click check for updates to see if there's an update for installed skins?

Thanks.

I think that fixed it. But where is the "Recently opened applications" window in the Verde skin?

[japamd]

Ok.

Recently opened applications feature is gone and will be removed soon from other skins as well, in place I'll add a new feature to scan for games on user's computer

Ah ok. Sounds good
Is it possible to add a feature of locking a refresh rate for global and per profile?
There are some games that for some reason like to change the 60hz refresh rate I set in catalyst and I have to use a refresh lock application to lock it at 60hz or I get black screen on my TV

[Kvickstick]

Are there any plans to adding forced tripple-buffering in D3D?

EDIT: *Facepalm* I found it!

JumpList seems to be working, but I have an issue on my computer, I can see the JumpList on taskbar but cannot see it anymore when the program is pinned on Start menu. If anyone else can see the items in Start Menu and Taskbar, please report.

[FDisk80]

Very very nice!
My only wish is to have an option for forcing the refresh rate.
