My all-singing, all-dancing backdrop randomiser program with added
whoosh, whose name is not, as described by certain people among us,
MMBack, but rather MBBack, has received yet another update. Not quite
as big as the last one, but I still recommend upgrading, because there
are quite a few bugfixes!

I confess this release was started as an entirely selfish project, due
to the fact I noticed there was one last feature implemented in Decor
that wasn't duplicated (and done better!) in MBBack. Therefore, it can
now automatically recalculate the current backdrop whenever the screen
mode changes! Happy days!

Other features include a configuration option to load the companion
application at the same time, and bugfixes include the fixing of the
scaling routine so that it doesn't redraw the whole screen any more!

Go grab it while it's hot! Surely somebody somewhere wants this kind of
thing for a Christmas present!

(Incidentally, I tried to download Decor for comparison and couldn't.
Has the opposition finally thrown in the towel...?)
