R65 SmartConsole

My first impression R65 SmartConsole.
Fight between developers and marketing (marketing wins).

Whishlist:

• Remove the big pictures from the title bar, we know this is Checkpoint.
• Make the tabs for ContentInspection and Connectra choosable (maybe in [Global Properties/SmartDashboard Customization])
• Menu Style between SmartDashboard / Tracker inconsistend (there is a api to get the menu style from the customer OS).

Thinks i like at this version:

• more settings are aviable in [GlobalProperties]
• new help style

# Remove the big pictures from the title bar, we know this is Checkpoint.

Hear Hear! Give me back my screen real-estate!

I don't know when it first showed up, but being able to 'clone' objects is saving me quite a bit of time.

If you're adventurous, you could try this hack from the CP mailing list:

> Take a copy of the .exe's for the CheckPoint GUI.
> Open *.exe's in a resource editor. i.e (C:\Program

> Find the bitmap for the logo, it's a Bitmap Resource. (see

> Delete the bitmap.
> Save the exe.

> After this is done and verified, the .exe's may be copied to other
