More thoughts on LcdBible since 0.92c:

Moving the search text box to the top is most welcome. Having more room to
type in is great.
Load times and overall speed are as previously commented on: excellent.
Was most surprised to find all the options for searching on right clicking
the taskbar button for LcdBible. Hadn't discovered them in 0.92c.  I have to
say I don't really like having the menu pop up that way as it goes totally
against the grain - particularly as the menu collapses after making each
change. Having the 'close' option moved right to the top of the list rather
than being at the bottom is annoying (I get frustrated with .chm help files
for the same reason as they add to the right click menu and move 'close' -
gets me every time.)

A couple of other things that don't really detract from the app but make it
look less polished than 0.92c (IMO) are the new 'Exit' button directly below
the 'X' for closing the window - seems superfluous.
Not being able to move the window without right clicking seems odd -
particularly as 0.92c didn't show this behaviour.

I hope these comments don't sound harsh and that they're also of some use.
The idea is great and having an app that I can load and search in quickly is
going to be really useful.

Best regards
