- Version 1.3 (4/29/15):
- NEW: Dock themes can contain an image (set in dock info window) which is shown when docks are tabs.

- NEW: Some new dock themes show a color badge (when tab) instead of changing the entire tab color.
- NEW: Better indicator for grouping docks.

- CHANGED: Themes are drawn with code and updated for Yosemite. The old HTML based system was removed due to complications not worth correcting.
