another thing i noticed, i use windows XP, and i have the classic windows theme
for all the buttons on the GUI, they are very plain "OS-theme based" white rectangles.

in your screenshot of the GUI, i see you have vista-like buttons.

I guess that's just the visual basic button control?  in VB6 the command buttons have the old-school look.

this is nothing important, just cosmetics

i agree with getitdone on a few things.  a ini to store paths is definitely win

wow, does the launcher really use 40MB+ of memory?
plz reduce to less than 1MB

btw...this isn't a launcher...its a frontend to a launcher..

upload source please

i don't like 0.19

first off, the combo boxes for maps/AI can be edited.
so you can select a map/difficulty, then u can type in that text field
(game version text field can also be modified, but force loading and share map seem to be locked)

for difficulty: this string no longer fits in the space
Custom StarCrack V5.5 (cheating)

when I select a map, but leave the difficulty setting blank, the game still starts (probably uses list index 0 or 1, whatever is first)

"- You can now define Maps/Replay, AI folders (saved into registry)."

whats this, more registry clutter?

if you press Change, then press cancel, for maps it deletes the old set directory
for difficulty, pressing cancel results in msgbox spam

my default web browser is FireFox, but the download link for custom AI 5.5 uses Internet Explorer

Why change text "upload map" to "share map"?
share map sounds like shared vision or something

consider making the "online players" update every 1-2 minutes, otherwise I have to close the launcher then re-open to get a new online player count.

i also liked the old interface, the one with more height than width
