A downloadable friend

Welcome to Desktop Buddy!

- Controls:
You can hold down left click on it to pet it, and right click to make it stop following your cursor.
To make it follow your cursor again, just right click on it again.

-Custom Buddy:
By default, Desktop Buddy looks like a green slime, but you can change that.
By going to AppData/Roaming/DesktopBuddy/CurrentBuddy, you can put 10 32x32 sprites for your buddy. (Support for different sized sprites unavailable as of right now.)

The required sprites are:
still.png (The sprite when the Buddy isn't moving)
right.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving mostly right)
left.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving mostly left)
up.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving mostly up)
down.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving mostly down)
rightup.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving right and up)
rightdown.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving right and down)
leftup.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving left and up)
leftdown.png (The sprite when the Buddy is moving left and down)
pet.png (The sprite when the left mouse button is held over the Buddy)

-Custom Buddy Issues:
If any of the sprites are missing or there are more than just these 10, it will use the default Buddy.
If any of the sprites are misnamed, it will likely break on opening.
To load the custom Buddy, just close and reopen the program.

-Closing:
To close the program, locate it in the Icon Tray (Bottom Right corner, little up arrow), right click on the green slime icon, and click "Close" from the context menu.
