I expected it the other way around. Certainly because I've seen other skins do the opposite. A little text like (check to hide) would be helpful.

well i may yet do it the other way round, im yet to actually do the hard coding to make the options work in 9.0 i was mainly just trying to get a working conceptual design going in the skin options panel so everyone can atleast get a feel for whats coming.

i can put in a little comment somewhere explainng tick to hide or tick to show depending on whiich way round i decide to do it, i may also change the alt text to "show / hide activities button (CT)" thats just an example btw.

thing is im struggling to get this new effect working, any idea what ive done wrong menthix?

EDIT:

another cool idea i just thought of which i dont think anyones done yet, in crystal lab the checkboxs for things like links, help button, text background etc, they have the custom checkboxes through customlook but i could take that further so that if the links are enabled then its plain text but if they are disabled then the text turns red and has a strikethrough effect to indicate its turned off. what do you think?
