The following feature is gone from mIRC 7.1:

Tools -> Options -> Display -> Options -> Visual Styles -> Switchbar buttons

'sup with that?

Why is this a bug report? Is there any reason you believe this change was unintentional?

As Khaled has stated before, he's consolidated some of the visual styles options to make mIRC more consistent.

You'll get over it.

It's a bug report because versions.txt / whatsnew.txt doesn't mention anything about its removal. 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:

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.

It was deliberately removed.

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.

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.

also to Tomao: I asked about this very thing shortly after the beta was made public and got This Answer from Khaled.
