* Added small icons mode for file browser
* Changed Toolbar modes: 3 with large and 3 with small icons (text below, text on the right, no text), and text only mode
* Toolbar is now set to large mode by default for better readability of main program's function

* Theme moved to a separate form, reachable in Options menu
* (Windows) Configure system integration entry now reachable in Options menu
* Default language file now changed to default.txt, that can be overwritten (i.e. by hand, or by custom installers or configuration script) to start by default the application in a non-Englih language; resetting the application will then result to swicth back to the language chosen for default.txt

Updated to UPX 3.07
CODE
Updated Wolfgang Ehrhardt's crypto library units to latest available version
FILE MANAGER
Fixed: opening a password protected archive counts as password validation, so the password confirmation field inherits password field value
Fixed: "Encrypt also file names" option is ignored for formats not supporting this feature
"Encrypt also file names" flag is now remembered
Removed -x.y version suffix from language file names so next version's updates will preserved user-selected language

Updated to Pea 0.34
CODE
Updated Wolfgang Ehrhardt's crypto lybrary with crc_hash_2010-12-19
FILE MANAGER
Fixed: installable version unable to update archives on Windows 64 bit
default 7z working dir (-w parameter) changed to explicitly set to use output path
if 7z working dir is set to temporary folder, let 7z determinate the appropriate path
when deleting files from a file supported through 7z backend, apply 7z working dir preference
Fixed button position and size with large fonts / high dpi
StringGrid's rows are now auto sized
Modal buttons text is now translated
Open output path moved from Options to Add and Extract interfaces for better visibility
On archive creation, if password is set and the format supports encryption, the encryption label is evidenced in green for better visibility
New option for ignoring paths for drag and drop extraction (default on)
with ignore path directive applied, extraction through 7z and freearc backends will be performed using e (extract without paths) instead of x (extract with paths), in order to extract files from the archive without recreating the parent path's directory tree on the extraction destination
with this new directive applied by default, all partial extraction operations starting from the file/archive browser (extract and open, and extraction by drag and drop), behaves uniformly trying to extract selected file(s) without recreating parent path tree
the directive is overridden if a directory is selected, as extraction without paths will lose information about directory tree below that directory
see Options > Settings, Open archive tab for fine tuning "ignore paths" directives
129 file extensions supported
Added support for .APK (Android package) and .SAR, and .IMF (IncrediMail)
