### Reporting bugs & suggestions

## Areas For Improvement:

1). | Fix remaining memory leaks! Obvious ones have been plugged. Need a Javascript guru to look at this please!
2). | Internationalization, for example, improve Right-To-Left text layout.
3). | Use FeedsManager AsyncLoad per Feed via event handler added to FeedsWatcher: couldn't get this to work per Feed.
4). | Page monitoring: add commands to auto navigate website forms to point of interest.
5). | Fix auto clicking: sometimes flyout doesn't appear after hovering.
6). | Use themes, e.g. to change palette, background color etc.

Any volunteers for the above?
