On a side note, active work on Covered's development branch(es) has stopped indefinitely. I plan to support the current feature set in the 0.7.x branch with possible minor enhancements as requested. Please feel free to continue to send me e-mail and/or submit bug reports against the 0.7.x stable releases.

- Updated GUI to use the ttk styled widgets for a more uniform look and allows the user to change the overall look of the GUI using a preference item.
