I didn't say I wanted to remove all the skin settings, I said I thought
that some could be set by user & skin. Small stuff that only 'advanced'
users want could go in a plugin or something - somebody was talking
about a Tweak Amsn plugin or something, that would be ideal. But I
really think that things like the sash and dp options should be user
only, not skin, they are 'functionality' not 'theme' settings - when you
change a background colour, that doesnt change anything Amsn *does*,
just how it *looks*. If you change whether DPs are shown in the
contactlist, you are changing something Amsn *does* - and hence what the
user can do.
Simplicity is the key, someone opens aMSN, he doesn't need to start
going to preferences to adjust 10 settings that normally skins should
take care of. I don't like that. If they really want to change the
look of aMSN, then then should be able to adjust manually the settings
of the skins somewhere in the preferences, but we don't need to bloat
the current preferences with that.
I totally agree, and they won't have to do that. I'm just saying that
the skin shouldn't set stuff like whether to show display pictures or
resize sashes or stuff like that. For those settings, we have (config)
defaults that most users will like, and an entry in the prefs window (eg
Show display pictures on the contact list) - these surely have a place
in prefs, unlike options to override skin settings(i agree with you
there, and like i said above, maybe put them in a plugin of some sort...)

, like showing display pics on the contactlist and showing the resize
sash in the chatwindow should ONLY be user-configurable, NOT
skin-configurable. Do people agree or am I out on a limb here? :D
