V1.2 Changes:
Simplified code both xaml and models
Added more models to separate a heafty StartMenuModel class including:
BackGroundModel - Changes background through a setting
OverlayMenuModel - Handles the top and side options menus
UserLoginModel - For right now this just sets a generic "your name" tag I had problems with the MP2 LoginModel not loading not sure if this is a bug in MP2 or mine will keep working on to get current user and display in right corner of startmenu.
Added Background selection dialog with basic solid colors and advanced selection to any jpg
Better looking side menu once in plugin
Changed default buttonwidestyle
Added animation back to page transitions (Hope to further improve this next release)
Modified tile images - Still working on how best to implement live tiles
Added scrolling effect to tiles on start menu - Not sure I like this still needs to be more 3x3 grids will continue to develop
Bugs
Still notice if you are running a MP2 server and open the client before all the menu items become available the tile images are set the plugin does catch the changes per messaging from the MenuModel of the skinbase, but after tiles images are set they sometimes don't refresh and appear. If you click where the images are you will find they are actually there and if you hit escape after entering a plugin they are all back.
