Want to solve by difficulty rather than theme in CT-ART for Beginners?

So, when I purchased the combo CT-ART pack that includes CT-ART for Beginners, what disappointed me was the fact that the new Peshka interface for CT-ART for Beginners did not have the ability to simply start with difficulty level 10 and move upwards, the way the old CT-ART 3.0 did. It has a way to do it via ELO, which is extremely clunky. Also, when solving by theme, the theme gives you too much of a clue to look for.

In fact, I just checked, and the Peshka version of CT-ART also no longer has the ability to test individual difficulty levels 10-100..

Well... I have a programmer tenant living with me, and we reverse engineered how the Peshka interface groups the problems by difficulty, and were able to reappropriate some of the less useful designations i.e. "opening of the f-file", etc.... And we made our own groupings, a la "Level 10", Level 20", etc..

 

 I am attaching a jpg of what my CT-ART For Beginners interface looks like now. Sorry if the pic is too big and jacks up the text on the thread.

Either way, let me know if there is interest and I will clarify further. It really only took the editing of an XML file.As I absolutely hate being clued in to the theme of the tactic I am supposed to be looking at, this made the software much more useable for me. Maybe others would like it as well.
