Wave - New skin for NPVR

[Hairy]

I've had a go at developing a new skin for NPVR. This is the first time I've attempted to release a skin solo, so I like to think of this as the start of something.

A couple of notes:

• You should just simply have to copy the extracted folder to your NPVR skin folder [i.e ...Users\User_Name\NPVR\Skin\] and select the "Wave" skin from the options menu
  
• This skin has been designed for HD 16x9 displays, as far as I can see there is nothing preventing users from using it on 4x3 displays but element positions mightn't always work.
  
• As I said this is the beginning of something rather than a finished polished skin. I hope to develop it further as NPVR matures
  
• nPVR is still a beta, so some feature might not work on an app level. I'm really interested in hearing if any features work in another skins but not in "Wave".

Note: This update requires NPVR v1.5.31+

Changes:

• Reduced the overall over-scan area.
  
• Re-sized the layout to use a larger amount of the screen
  
• Harmonized this re-sized layout across the plug-ins.
  
• Added plug-in specific folder icons.
  
• Added a manual recordings popup
  
• General polish.
  
• Updated for compatibility with NPVR v1.5.31

Screenshots look great Hairy! You've always done great work with skins.

its enough incentive to bite the bullet and try getting NPVR to work.
