I didn't say anything about doing something because Microsoft is. But it's fundamental design that applications should look appropriate in their surroundings. I think you'll find most people use mIRC for it's unmatched functionality and extendability, not because of how it's icons looked.
The exact thing I am saying is absurd. Software should not be coded to 'look pretty', it should be cided to WORK RIGHT. The icon change was nothing mroe than a 'look pretty' issue. Some like it, many don't. Its merely dumbing down and prettying up mIRC to the level of AOHell. Im glad you like the new look so much. That still does nto tell me what the 'appropriate format' is for icon graphics though.
