points on SoundreameR < You got the point.
It would be a big + (plus) for mirc if it would be skinable with visual styles!, like it would be a + if it would have foul xp visual style with xp tabs , trakbar etc..
even all scripters using dlls to give mirc a visual style
show me one script public script thet is not using minimum one dll like mdx,

we are not in 1995 anymore.
!update !update! !update!


I couldn't agree with you more.

Update with bug fixes yes.
Update with new functions yes.
Update with improved functions yes.
Update with improved performance yes.

Update with a bunch crap that will do nothing but
unnecessarily bloat mIRC and look pretty to a few ..
that would be a big fat no.

Yeah... you guys think like pure coders... but try to hack out from this position and try to look from the eyes of those who understand only how to type their nicknames and press 'Connect', they would realy appreciate a good looking program... as for me... BitchX in terminal suits me fine! smirk

In previous posts you keep asking the thread to be closed so why do you keep posting?

The interface could be "jazzed" up a bit without resorting to skins. There are many fine looking controls out there that mIRC could use as part of the interface without having to implement skins (for example; the left bar in windows explorer).

I don't mind either way if Khaled decides to change the interface, but I think skins would take far too much of his time that could be used on other features.

If he decided to use a third party skinning engine then I wouldn't mind, but if he decided to make his own it'd be like managing a whole new program.
