I not only use my computer for work, but I also use it because I enjoy using it. I tend to use applications that add a kick to the overall experience. The vanilla Windows look simply doesn't cut it and XP's skinning does add to it once you use skins that don't come with XP. I'm currently running WindowBlinds with a MacOSX Jaquar type skin and it sure makes for a MUCH better visual experience. Some may like the simple spartan Windows look but I do think they make up the minority of users. It's therefore a good thing that Ritlabs do have some priority placed on making the interface more XP compatible. It says a lot for the application especially from an initial impression standpoint when these little visual issues are properly ironed. If it's incomplete on the outside, it's invariably the same on the inside. -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator PGPKeys: http://www.ac-martin.com/pgpkeys.html ____________________________________ Using TB! v2.01.7 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
