that depends on he level of development. If all developers did it eventually there would be little to no software that caters to lesser builds. The actual point i was making is that most users who refuse to upgrade for reasons such as "i dont like the color" expect software to be catered to them. they dont want developers to exclude them when writing thier projects however its ok to exclude the users who have upgraded. In the case of the icons its possible to have the best of both worlds here but alot of features simply werent available or requireed mounds of additional code to achieve with older versions.
alot of user want the common controls integrated but forget to take into account that many of the features they provide are dependant on the IE version installed (MDX listview for example). Adding them to mIRC would indeed impose this restriction but we shouldnt leave it out simply because users of older builds wouldnt be able to take full advantage of all options/features. This would limit those who could.
