How to contribute

If you like this plugin there is a few way you can help out.

• Review It! - I'm not asking for donations or anything, but if you do use this and like it.. Please head over to the Visual Studio Gallery and review it. Good reviews refill my nerd powers that power all those late night programming sessions. They also make me feel all warm and fuzzy!
• Suggest Features / Point out bugs.

• Code - Check out the code, play with it. maybe fix a bug while you are there.. It fun and educational. It also makes you super cool, better looking and possibly give you superpowers.

Help Wanted - Features/Fixes

• Options Page - Settings are stored in a user folder, this is not how it is supposed to work. The UI the UI is ugly does not look right on high dpi monitors. See Example
• Localization - I woudl be nice to support a few other languages.
• Button commands - This part is a bit messy right now. It would be sweet if this could be cleaned up.
