Countdown to the Final Version of the Developer Tools

We are eagerly awaiting the release of the Final Version of the Developer Tools for Windows Phone 7, due on 16 September. More information here.

Not only do we want to check that all our apps in development will still work, but we have identified a few areas on our 'wish list' which we hope the new release will fix.

- Clipping of Audio Files: we have noticed that for some reason the last few seconds of audio tracks are being clipped. We can easily re-master to allow for this, but hope that the new version may have fixed this issue.

- Support for theme versions: Although theme versions are not required, we would like to be able to present a version of our apps which complements the chosen theme, even if only taking on the background colour. There are several work-arounds posted, but hopefully there may be a simpler way from Thursday.
