Wisbar Advance 2 Updated to v2.7.0.1

This new release rocks. Much faster loading times. Didn't see this posted yet so thought I'd mention it.

Version 2.7.0.1
Enhancements

Reinstated the custom SIP options.
Added an option to skip the Today screen when using the "Switch Task" action.
The control panel program's tabs now look more like the system tabs.
Customizing the close button per application can now be done via the application's exe name rather than just a window title.
If a backup battery is not present on the device, it will not be displayed in the battery/memory bubble.
Decreased the loading time on Windows Mobile 5 devices.
Added a commandline parameter to the WisSettings program to switch to a specific theme. For example: WisSettings.exe --theme=
Where should be replaced with the location of the .skin file.

Added an option to remove the "Desktop" shortcut from the cascading start menu.
The installation of the default themes is now optional.
The Close/OK shortcut now performs whatever the OK/Close button tap assignment is set to.
Added a tip to the "Clock Settings" page about 24-hour format.
Updated the installer to create a shortcut for starting on a soft-reset.
If the installer needs to install files that are in use, it will prompt the user to perform a soft-reset.
