+ updated short readme and docs (new info, old info removed, better consistency, spelling errors fixed)

Version 1.0.1 - June 25, 2002

New Features

+ Added a hot-key "M" to invoke the app's contextual menu
+ Added French translation (thanks to Pierre Haberer and Ronald Leroux!)
+ Improved hot-key compatibility with international keyboards
+ opacity preference added: "Transparency" of type float
+ fade preference added: "Fade" of type boolean

Bug Fixes

- Sometimes LiteSwitch X wouldn't load at login
- Fixed "LiteSwitch Brings All Forward" mode so that it works with multiple instances of the same app

Attention: To use the new preferences added in this version, use the 'defaults' command from the Terminal like this:

[localhost:~] username% defaults write com.proteron.liteswitch Fade -bool no
This would turn off the "fade out" effect

[localhost:~] username% defaults write com.proteron.liteswitch Transparency -float 1.0
This would set the transparency of the window to 100%, i.e. remove transparency

[localhost:~] username% defaults delete com.proteron.liteswitch Transparency
This would restore the default transparency

[localhost:~] username% defaults delete com.proteron.liteswitch Fade
This would restore the default fade effect

Version 1.0 - May 6, 2002

Initial release.
