I agree that this needs to be handled. I'm not quite sure of the best way to do 
this
yet. I'd like to see swappable "skins" (or whatever they're called in WPF) to 
provide
alternate visualizations (e.g. Digg Labs, different simple layouts, various
visualization, et cetera).

This would be a fairly straight-forward one.

As an interim solution (I've run into this myself), you could have two folders 
with
the executeable and run them side-by-side. This gives you a similar effect if 
you
filter each configuration for the exe appropriately.

Window 1...     Window 2...
[1][2]          [5][6]
[3][4]          [7][8]

Not the nicest solution, but it can get you there quickly.

I'll keep this one in mind for some changes that should be coming out soon.

Hmmm, skinning is easy with WPF so that's possible but not sure if it'll work 
since 
it's the layout you want to skin; not the individual build status blocks (maybe 
that's not clear but it is in my head).

The side-by-side is a good interim but how do you even get two columns of 
boxes? It 
seems to be fixed to a stacked layout?

Should be doable and fairly easy.

You're right about the side by side. there would only be one column per window, 
so i
guess that it would take 4 windows.

Just did a bit of research and it works just fine. Uniform resource did the 
trick.
I'm going to play around a bit with dynamic style loading for a bit before I 
throw I
commit it.

You should have it available in the next day or so.

This is now in the trunk (The display option is set through the configuration 
file).
You can see an example in the config file.

I'll push out a 0.6 release before too long and it will be available as a 
download.
