I get enough complaints about things not being discoverable enough, I think I'm just going to stick with the one app bar...Yeah, technical issues with that.  By default, it's not actually possible to select between the light and dark themes on the fly; that has to happen at start up.  There are work-arounds, but from what I've read, they've got MASSIVE performance penalties attached to them.Oh, "Open File" isn't going to be the only item on that app bar for long; downloading characters straight from you DDI account is slated for the next update.I've been wanting to do something like that for a while (although I'd go for role, instead of class), but it's pretty low priority for me.The live tiles thing might be a bit of a pain, but I may be able to implement a semantic zoom to make the items appear similar to how they show up in the snapped view.Due to the sandboxing Metro apps have built-in, I pretty much have to revolve that list of characters around the Most Recently Used file list, which basically ends up getting sorted by order of use automatically as a consequence of adding the files to the list every time you load a character.Also of note, the MRU list will only hold somewhere around 24 files, so the character list can't exactly get that large, to begin with.  Parsing out a separate "recently used" view seems like more trouble than it's worth, considering the small size the list is restricted to.THAT has been on the to-do list since before the first release; I also want to include familiars and custom companion tracking.</blockquote>
