I know I talked to Youness briefly about this before, but.... what the hell is the
point of having an option that both the user and the skin can set??? The skinner
shouldn't care whether display pictures or little fat buddy pixmaps are shown on
the contactlist, it's the user that cares. The skinner should provide both sets of
pixmaps, and the user should choose which they want. Last time I mentioned this,
Youness said, ok, well why not let the user option override the skin option. What's
the point in that? The whole point of skin options is for the skinner to be able to
choose how their skin appears to the user - a skin option won't goive the skinner
this if it's going to be overridden by a skin option. Now, I can kinda understand
if this was a setting relating to fonts - maybe a skinner wants a fancy/different
font used... and users W,X & Y like that font, but user Z doesn't because it
doesnt fit in with his desktop theme or something....THEN it makes sense for the
option to be settable by both the skin and by the user.... but that's one of the
very few examples I can think of that's worth it. Maybe it's just me, but I find it
incredibly stupid! (I'm not accusing/insulting anyone, just saying what I think of
the concept :P)
Anyway, what do other people think?
