ChangeLog: v4.2: I just started adding this part, so much wont go here :)

- optimised a bit more by reducing colours in some files, and also by multiple use of bmp's within each colour variation.
- added a feature? where you can now see date, time and day in the systemtray with only 2 heights of the taskbar.
- cleaned up some controls.
- changed a few controls to better match the original watercolor style.


Original Watercolor theme credits goto Microsoft for making & designing the Original theme (which was previewed in Whistler builds). Watercolor.msstyles and Watercolor.theme made By Chris O. aka Binary with help from StyleBuilder & TGTSoft LLC.
Brw2k1 and thuggers made most of the shellstyle.dll, Ergonomic colour idea by Dj_Night, and NETknightX fixed the tab bmp's (all from Neowin.net) so Major thanks goes out to them :D
And of course thanks goes out to all the people that gave bug reports and suggestions :) (also mostly from Neowin.net msg board)
