A Complete Dark Mode Redesign for Folding@Home

Sure it's dark and bruiting and we like that, But in addition it's a replacement of the default F@H web client that does the following great things for you:

NEW - Timer (Time of Use) shifting allows you to set a time to start folding and finish folding so you can fold at off peak power usage times or to manage seasonal heat.

NEW - View a recent time allocation breakdown of research your system was working to better understand why your PPD varies due to different research projects.

NEW - UI Theme skin picker that allows you the flexibility to chose your style regardless of your team affiliation.

NEW - Monitor style picker to allow you adapt your favorite UI Theme to a number of retro style display colors.

NEW - Code and UI redesign to streamline the use of space and put more of a focus on the research being completed in a modern responsive UI that has been optimized to feel / be more responsive.

Get a baseline PPD for the GPU/CPU and project you are currently folding to see how your system compares to the community average and your personal recent averages due to different work units.

Makes folding a lot more fun with the real time statistics. I love seeing how my hardware is performing compared with WU info gathered from others using the same plugin!
