Firstly, we didn't intend to "gang up" on anybody. Rather than having just one person report a feature request, we felt it would be better received if it was understood that this is a concern of a community of people at large, not just an individual user.

Moreover, we appreciate the abilities of mIRC concerning customizability. Background images, fonts, and colors are all great tools to customize the look and make it look sleek. However, the looks is marred by the glaring default icons that sit in the titlebar and switchbar and that is our main concern.

As a community, we acknowledge that the program requires a certain amount of security given the inherent vulnerabilities that exist in not enforcing a file integrity check.

Is there any possibility to allow an option the display settings of mIRC that would make it possible to insert custom icons for the titlebar and switchbar? I know it would be more difficult for the switchbar since it uses a bitmap, but at least the titlebar uses a regular icon so that could be changed with little difficulty, correct?
