1. 6
Moved the label again, so that it fits inside 1366x768 laptop and netbook screens.
Unnoficial 1. 5 update by Mariano Mariscal
Updated to new SMAPI, and to support newer SV version. Moved label from the top of the colour menu.
1. 5
Fixed (again) the bug of prevent other things from being named, this time it worked... Updated to SMAPI 0. 39. 6, now it looks better when zoomed. Some changes were made to SpeederSDVUIUtils.cs, modders using it should update their mods too.
