· Consistent message display via a (movable, slightly transparent) Big Green Box(tm).
· Number of files download via SkipScreen is displayed on post-download screen (note: not all handlers update, so the number may be lower than your actual use; no data is kept other than a count, and the date the counter was started).

· Options panel should display at correct minimum width (w/o scroll-bars).
