How about on the task bar along with Easy, Medium and Hard we have Very easy and very hard puzzle icons.

Yeah that would be good As i have just started doing them today The easy ones are ok though. Very hard would be good for all you experts out there

How did you get that image of the taskbar

From this very website on how to use the program: "Puzzle grades: Basic grades are Easy, Medium and Hard. Hold down the Control key to make the basic grades into Very Easy, Anonymous and Very Hard respectively.

There ya go

Or was the question more about having a button on the task bar to do that?

Hi Luna, yep it was more of having buttons available to do just that. Quick clicks all that type of stuff.

[ChilledChick]

Yeah but when do you pres down the control key?

[lunababy_moonchild]

Click on New then press the control key, hold it down and click on the puzzle of your choice.

At least that's how I remember it.

Def need some very hard ones - can do the hard in under 10 mins so need more challenge

Just a couple of thoughts about difficulty setting -
1. It would be nice if the program saved the last difficulty setting you chose (when you close it).
2. How about a drop-down selection box with all six difficulty settings instead of the three buttons?
3. Also, I think the difficulty buttons should change colour/picture when the user holds down the Ctrl key.

Yes, I'll think about those. #3 is quite possible. #2 would take up a bit of real estate on the toolbar. #1 may not happen, though. The way it comes up into Medium was deliberate, as a way of reminding Easy-only solvers that there are other grades of puzzle out there. But, as I say, I'll think about it.
