It's nice, quick, clear, and I certainly like the system info (although it says I have 17.1GB physical memory, the system only has 16GB, BOINC itself says 15.93GB)

But a nice change from BOINC Manager. Why Fresco, though?
Also, when I first start it, its menu bar at the top goes behind my taskbar (which in my Windows is at the top of the screen) and can't be used. I have to resize the window to get the menu bar back. And how do you exit it? Clicking X will keep it running. Alt+F4 keeps it running as well.
