P.S. How did you manage to align the About button with the other two? This is the reason I think it would be better if Option Panels used DialogTemplate. There would be no need to skin Messenger Plus! to get the result you want. I hope Patchou adds this sometime.
Yeah I am aware of that one. The problem is that the options panel and about windows that we code are loaded into an existing window within Messenger Plus!'s interface files.
So the UI has been restructured to fit in the Phunk'n panel nicely and I gave it a custom header and everything. That is how the about window button was lined up properly, because I actually shifted the window within the parent window. But any other panel won't be able to be seen properly since they are relying on the default Plus! file which has a totally different layout code.
Its a minor set back that you will have to live with. The only remedy is to just apply the skin you want to apply and then apply the options afterwards.
I don't see Patchou changing the way this works either.
