    After a lot of hunting I did find it...
    It showed up at the bottom of the Home Screen but there are still issues.
    1-Without the Plugin Config, there is no way to control it

    When I did find it on the Home Screen it looks strange

    Config is managed via a windows plugin, check your start menu.

    Yeah, I noticed this with Titan as well. The program image works with the other skins so not sure why not on Titan.

    My guess is you haven't configured the plugin so there are no pictures to show. Please refer to the Wiki.

    Wow... the Wiki leaves a lot to be desired as to finding the configuration screen.

    After you've gotten used to how the plugin works an you like what you see you may decide you want to create some of your own templates. You can do that should the configuration tool

    There should be a reference to "The configuration tool is located within the Windows Start Menu"
    But seeing the what the MP2 Dev's are trying to create, I think they might want this to fall under the Plugins Page within MP2-Client....
    You might want to open a conversation with them.

    Now that I found the Config, I will test the different aspects of it

    So I got into the Config Screen.
    Discovered the only way to enter the directory was type it or Copy Past and then click Add
    MP_Photo_01.jpg

    Clicking the Save Button does not seem to do anything.
    Clicking the X Close window brings a popup

    Clicking Save does work but when you go back to the Windows Start Button, the Config is gone

    Launching MP-2 Client, the Screen Button is still a little weird like the other screenshot.
    When I Click it all I got was a Black Screen. I know there are 2 Picture files in the directory I told it to look at
    MP_Photo_04.jpg

    Log file is included.....
    Anything else, just ask...

    Did you click Build Cache after adding the directory?

    Please read the wiki as it describes all the steps necessary to get going.

    1. To add a directory you can manually paste or double click the text box to select
    2. Close brings up a Save dialog. This is expected to make sure you save your changes
    3. Save button saves.
    4. Config should show up under the MPPhotoSlideShow Folder in the start menu

    Here are your logs and here is a thought....
    Is it possible I get a black screen because on my 64Bit machine the installer did not write the directory information for the Config tool to know where everthing is?
    I say this because if I double click either the Background Image or Border File Path boxes it does not know where they are.

    Thanks, everything looks good but it appears there is a null reference exception I need to squash. I'll let you know when I have a fix.
