This utility application allows you to modify the bonus square layout and colors used for Crosswords 4. We expect you to use it once or twice and then discard it, so it's not as highly polished as is Crosswords.
Download it here.
To use it, you must first have run Crosswords at least once (so that it can make the copy of its built-in settings that it will use from now on; these are what you'll be editing.) Now make the changes you like. When you quit, XWConfig4 will ask whether you want to save or discard your changes.
