v Removed hard coded dependency on 1024x768 screen resolution. Images may now be captured and displayed at any resolution.
o If the resolution of the display screen is larger than the captured screen, the image will appear banded to preserve image ratio and clarity
o If the resolution of the display screen is smaller than the captured screen, the image will scale to the appropriate size while maintaining the proper aspect ratio
o Hover images and splash images must be the same resolution as the image they are related to in order to preserve control locations
v Searching with nothing in the search text box will now return all demos of a given language
