This is amazing beginning resembles CPU-Z or so on. Do you plan to update it and give a second life?

Configuring BGInfo4x is a mystery. It is not explained in their documentation. It seems to require manual modification of files, but which files is not clear. Definitely a step down from the simplicity of BGInfo.

Great and fully configurable. It's easy to start using with the default config, and once you understand the parameters, you can change everything!
