That's great! It sounds like I have the perfect project in the wind down to Christmas. I'll keep an eye out for the change and pick all this up again then. I'll subscribe to this thread so if there are any bumps in the road I'd appreciate a heads up.

One of these is fairly easy to fix but the other will need a lot of careful thought to fix it in a way that doesn't cause problems for any existing user configurations.

I've since found customised icons, so I'll use these and then the stars in index values so don't waste any more time on this on my account. I'll likely be on Synology anyway.

I had been trying to change the Java environment with '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8'. I found a post that increased available memory size but I couldn't find the right location to place the options in Windows.
