Well, although your comment was a tough read I really appreciate it. You point your finger exactly at what I also noticed by now and classified as "ugly but not fatal". Your observations are the same I (and I think quite many Phex user) already made.
My main problem with developing Phex is the limited time I can donate to it, as it´s priority is clearly below my job and my social life. However, I will keep working on it and some of the issues will be addressed in a future version. But as long as there are more pressing issues they will have to wait. I am only just at the beginning of the development of Phex and there is so much I want to do, but it might take long to really do things the way I want them done.
Never forget that most of Phex is still almost identical to Furi and the new features are rather "roughly" coded into the original source. If I ever find time to clean it up, I will.

Bye,
Konrad
