Johann's graphics rock, thanks Johann!
Resizing speed is acceptable here too, but there's still a noticeable delay 
when resizing. I'll try to optimize it a little bit.

Yes, I think the animations would be a nice addition. I had already though 
about that, and it would not be difficult to add them, but it would not be 
trivial either, and there are some small yet important things to fix still. 
So, animations are coming, but exactly when is still uncertain, depends on 
my amount of free time.

My nick there is stampede.
