When I first got the new CCT I looked around a bit. I went to Options > Load Custom GUI > testing.xml and I was suprised to see so many extra fetures! I just had a few questions about this: What does GUI stand for? How do I make a 'custom' GUI? and on a scale from 1-10, how much do you like the new CCT? :D
 
Yep. Martin/DonQuixote's right.

And as for your second question, you'll need some basic XML knowledge to create a custom GUI. You can probably learn that online at W3C or something. Or alternatively you could just view the source code of the other 3 (or is it 4?) pre-made GUIs and figure out the stuff on your own, shouldn't be too hard (just guessing, haven't seen them myself :p).

But then again, there's no real reason to want to make another custom GUI, I'm perfectly fine with the new layout :)

About the rating thingy, 9. Lost a point because you have to quit CCT before your times are saved :( Once I was doing an average of 200 and my laptop crashed for some dumb reason at about #150 and I lost all my times. (Okay, this is definitely more my fault than CCT's, but... :p) Just so that you know, clicking "New Session" doesn't mean that your current session is automatically saved (or all other previous sessions since you launched CCT for that matter), the only way to save your times is to close CCT (and re-launch it later).

So, if you just did an average of 500, then clicked "New Session" and left CCT open and went to feed your goldfish, and suddenly your laptop battery dies, or your goldfish trips over your computer's power cable (?), you'd still lose your session average.
 
You may have lost your session average, but you have a goldfish that can trip over power cables! How many people can say that?

Actually it happened last Sunday, I went to KFC and bought some drumsticks home, then my parrot who got sick of crackers couldn't resist the smell and tried to steal some chicken (cannibalistic parrot?) while I was feeding my goldfish. Luckily I heard him flying into the kitchen and caught him in the act. While I was scolding my stupid parrot, my goldfish sneaked out of her bowl because she wanted to play Minesweeper. And for some unknown reason (she's still not telling me) she tripped over my power cable, so I lost my session average, and she didn't get to play Minesweeper. Yep, that's it, that's how I lost my session average :(
