That was way before I found bunch of issues, bugs and undocumented "features" of it.
Also with v2.3 being WIP since like 50 years, we can pretty much say there will not be any release anymore, meaning these issues and bugs will never get fixed.
On a related matter: Viperosa asked me to ask seltsamuel a question concerning the D2SE window and why it doesn't show the D2 icon.
Here's what he said (he answered me about a month ago, but I didn't check until now
Just read the highlighted sentence.)
► Show Spoiler
The reason is sumple:
-normal d2 starts game.exe... even if launched via D2SE
-Mods from D2SE work via D2SE.exe, which doesn't use anything from the game.exe... this is also true for the icon, which is copyrighted by blizzard
D2SE is no launcher, but a complete replacement of the game.exe and thus shows the D2SE icon. The new D2SE version receives a complete new UI, which also includes Icon frame and the window style.

So yeah, he's still working on it, and it's basically a total rework of the program. Maybe, MAYBE we can expect a new D2SE and you can turn back to being a young, hopeful whist
Please note that this is just a roughly translated version of what he actually said.
