Re: guiDesigner 2.3.1.7 no buttons

Excellent. Since v2.2.0.0 we have completely rewritten the drawing
functions to use WPF, hence why .NET 3.5 is required.
WPF drawing works MUCH smoother and less resource usage than the
previous GDI method of drawing pages, buttons, etc. You will notice a
huge increase in performance when dragging objects around, etc.

I will definitely make a note that .NET 3.5 SP1 is required on the
download page. Thanks very much for the feedback.
