=================================================================================================

1.) About:
	This is the latest version of my plug-in with a lot of new cool features and 			optimizations. Probably this will be the last version of this plug-in because I will
	have no time to code when classes start.

2.) Requirements:
	Any fast Pentium Class CPU will do the trick.

3.) What's New:
	- New and cool configuration system.
	- Made a lot of optimizations which made the visual run about 30% faster.
	- Changed the default skin (configurable) to blue.
	- Modified the LED meter animation.
	- Fixed a lot of minor bugs.
	- Removed the internal floating window.
	- New and faster bargraph engine.
	- Allowed all colors to be configured.
	- Modified the cross animation.

4.) Configuration:
	
	- All colors must be in ARGB hex color format (FFFFFFFF).
	- All other settings must be integers.
	- Sonique may crash with exaggerated values.

	In vis.ini file in Sonique directory, you will find these entries under MetreX:
	
	BackColor	- Background (Skin) color.
	BorderColor1	- Lightest border color farthestfrom the center for 3D effect.
	BorderColor2	- Lighter border color nearest to the center for 3D effect.
	BorderColor3	- Darker border color nearest to the center for 3D effect.
	BorderColor4	- Darkest border color farthest from the center for 3D effect.
	LedOnColor1	- Color of first group of LEDs when turned on.
	LedOnColor2	- Color of second group of LEDs when turned on.
	LedOnColor3	- Color of third group of LEDs when turned on.
	LedOffColor1	- Color of first group of LEDs when turned off.
	LedOffColor2	- Color of second group of LEDs when turned off.
	LedOffColor3	- Color of third group of LEDs when turned off.
	PointColor1	- Color of the upper and lower cross points.
	PointColor2	- Color of the left and right cross points.
	PointEnable	- Set to 0 to disable/any other numbers to enable the cross point.
	PointDelay	- Delay of the cross point animation. The lower the number, the faster.
	LedEnable	- Set to 0 to disable/any other numbers to enable the LED meter.
	LedMonitor	- Band the LED meter will monitor.
	LedStyle1	- Style of LED meter when turned off. 0=flat 1=embosed 2=engraved.
	LedStyle2	- Style of LED meter when turned on. 0=flat 1=embosed 2=engraved.
	LedDelay	- Sets the refresh rate of the LEDs. The lower the numer, the faster.
	BarEnable	- Set to 0 to disable/any other numbers to enable the bargraph meter.
	BarStyle	- Style of the bargraph frame. 0=flat 1=embosed 2=engraved 3=separate.
	BarSense	- Sensitivity of the bargraph. The higher the number, the less sensitive.
	BarFall		- Fall rate of the bargraph. The lower the number, the lower fall rate.
	BarSize		- Size of the LEDs in the bargraph.
	PeakEnable	- Set to 0 to disable/any other numbers to enable peaks in the bargraph.
	PeakFall	- Peak fall rate. The lower the number, the lower fall rate.
	LedSense1	- Sensitivity of LED1 in the LED meter.
	LedSense2	- Sensitivity of LED1 in the LED meter.
	LedSense3	- Sensitivity of LED1 in the LED meter.
	LedSense4	- Sensitivity of LED1 in the LED meter.
	LedSense5	- Sensitivity of LED1 in the LED meter.
	BarMonitor1	- Band the first column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor2	- Band the second column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor3	- Band the third column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor4	- Band the fourth column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor5	- Band the fifth column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor6	- Band the sixth column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor7	- Band the seventh column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	BarMonitor8	- Band the eight column of LEDs in the bargraph will monitor.
	LedStyle	- Style of the LEDs in the meter.

5.) Tips:
	Don't run the visual plug-in in mid mode.
	The plug-in looks best in the four lowest resolutions in fullscreen mode.
	The visual plug-in ignores special effects (blur, smoke, and zoom).
	The plug-in works best with dance songs with a lot of bass.
	The peak effect may only be visible in higher resolutions.
	Check out the vis.ini settings for MetreX.

6.) Contact Info:
	For comments, suggestions, and bug reports, please send an e-mail to kbcware@yahoo.com.

7.) Acknowledgements:
	Thanks to God for giving me the ability to program in Visual C++ at this age, to Mark
	David Gan and Samuel Graenacher (xplo) for helping me solve problems in this plug-in, to 	Team Sonique for making this excellent MP3 player.
