As Khaled has stated before, he's consolidated some of the visual styles options to make mIRC more consistent. You'll get over it. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

I don't see anything in that file for 7.1 which would explain the removal of this feature (do you even know what it does? :-) ) The closest match I can find is: Quote: Improved interface design for a number of features Removing borders around buttons isn't really "improving the interface", hence why I'm reporting it as a bug. Maybe the feature got moved into some other portion of the options UI? I don't know.

If it was moved into another part of the options and you were asking us where to find it, that would be something to post on the support forums. It would still not qualify as a valid bug report. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

Quote: It would still not qualify as a valid bug report. Well, bug report or not, you don't have to turn this into a debate, just tell koitsu where to find the option in 7.1. A forum moderator can move this thread to an appropriate section easily.
