Aerofoil 1.4.1 - Minor Graphical/Source Update


Apologies!
I should have held off release of the Aerofoil 1.4 a little longer - I couldn't help but tweak it for the following:

- Blue Hibernate option in system tray menu (was red - I didn't like it because it was too "in your face").
- Removed one of the system tray menu "separator" lines because the menu was getting too big.
- Made "About" window slightly transparent (looks more professional).
- Smaller executable (1.5K less at 29.5K, 30K on disk) by improving the Visual Studio solution and removing some method redirection in code.

Download and source code

Okay I'm now officially off the Aerofoil sidetrack and back on the Gesture Magic beaten path again...!
