I don't buy it. The point that 'everyone else is doing it' is exactly why many have stayed with mIRC. It has stayed clean, simple, and kept functionality over presentation. So you are making my point for me with your reply. It IS just an issue of keeping up with MicroSoft, which is a stupid reason to do anything. I am not a MS hater by any means (although I do think Vista and IE7 blow goats, more presentation over content), but to simply make wholesale changes in 'your' program just to 'look like' a MicroSoft product is totally absurd.
Having said all that, if someone were to share the 'appropriate format' for the button graphics ratehr than just say 'go see if you can find them', it would be a whole lot easier for folks to put mIRC back to the cleaner look. Im not sure who all has this knowledge and why they hav chosen not to disclose it but it would be the user friendly thing to do.
