I'm missing the 'x' in the top right corner of the curvemeister window (you know, the one to close the window).  Is that deliberate?

The X is missing in some cases because it provided a way to accidentally quit Curvemeister and lose your work, and I was not able to trap this easily in the software.  So the button is missing for people who still have the "warning on cancel" dialog enabled.

The good news is you can get it back again either by telling the warning dialog to go away, or by clicking on the "Enable Warnings" toggle button on the Settings ribbon.  This button is functional, but it does not indicate it's enabled state at the moment.  I'll change thisl for the next release.

the 'x' is back!  (v.20) Hurrah!

much more minor but the minimize is greyed out.... and when I've got curvemeister running, my taskbar (which is set to auto-hide) doesn't un-hide itself when I mouse to the bottom of the screen.  So its awkward starting firefox to come here and talk to you guys!

The auto hide problem is going to be here for a while, unfortunately.  This appears to be a problem with any app that uses the ribbon control, including I believe Office 2007 applications.  I haven't experimented with workarounds for this feature yet, but will turn on auto-hide and see if I can replicate the problem.  Minimize might be a workaround, but it creates a small icon in the Photoshop window, which can be rather baffling if you're not expecting it.

With auto-hide enabled, and the window in re sizable mode rather than full screen, I found that leaving a small one or two pixel high sliver at the bottom of the window allows the task bar to pop up.  This may have to do for the time being, until Microsoft comes up with a full solution.
