Humm.. well, you might be lucky.. actually, you're probably lucky... we have
a worldwide audience.. and not every part of the world has many users with
big CPUs.. there are even some people who use amsn only because it uses less
memory than WLM, or because WLM doesn't work on their machine because their
OS is too old (many win95 users..) etc...
I think opting for a speed efficient skin rather than an eye candy skin
would be good idea...
Karel, hi, it's been long time, how have you been? :)
What do you think about the 'initial setup assistant'? something that would
guide users through their first use of amsn.. like ask them to choose a skin
from a predefined list, or ask them which options to set (like tabbed
chatting, yes/no, etc...) This would help users, but it might annoy some
(yes, a "Skip" button would be needed).
