CCleaner

What's new in this version:

Emu Loader 8.7.8
Fixed:
- Event "OnChange()" was not executed in "TFontDialog" component after frontend recent changes
- Black frame painted in tool bar filters background when gradient setting is disabled
- Severe painting problems in my TPanelEx since last component update... damn you BitBlt()!

Changed:
- Icons of disabled menu items are now drawn with 50% blending effect instead of a grayscale icon, which looked terrible
- Delphi's TImageList component messes up with the icon's alpha channel
- Source files "ImgList.pas" and "CommCtrl.pas" updated with new constants and functions for better support on Windows 7 and newer
- Replaced TToolBar + TToolButton controls by my custom TSpeedButtonEx so the buttons can have white font in night mode ("Favorites Manager" screen)
- More tweaks to popup menus draw routine
- Modified "TRangeBar" / "TGaugeBar" components from "Graphics32" library to add a custom color for the arrow, it was using the same color as the border color

Night mode updates:
- Moved all settings from preferences screen to its own window and updated its interface with dark colors; you'll find it on main menu "Customize - Night Mode Colors"

Added new settings so you can have different ones from the light mode:
- games list splitter colors
- images splitter colors
- game docs colors and splitters
- image background color and image

New layout showing all settings without pages; high resolution only: 1280x1024 and higher

Added a new "Show Preview" button, showing a new floating window so you can see you customizations in real time:
- "Games List Selection Bar"
- "Panels Colors"
- "Image Hint Box"

Added:
Game Docs status bar (preferences screen, "Game Docs" page):
- For those who go berzerk on the fact that the bottom of the game docs panel is not aligned with the games list panel
- There's no useful info displayed there yet


Emu Loader 8.7.7
Fixed:
- Popup menus can now display Unicode texts, but this implementation is far from perfect
- Copy/move/delete game ROMs was not working due to an "Exit" command I forgot to remove, preventing further code from executing
