The problem of transparency come from a modification in the way it works in the skin, the previous option value saved in the registry in no more used in the last version of the skin and it's why the first time you open the option panel after updating you have a blank value in the dropdown menu.

I didn't contact you for the translation yet because I'm working on a major update (3.0.1) and didn't want to ask you to translate it two time (due to new option). I should have told you before, sorry.

all the bugs in tooltips come from the skin.
A solution would be to create "new" string in the Skin but as far as I know it is not possible.

Version 3.0.1 beta should be available late tonight or tomorrow morning. Of course I will ask you (warmth) to tranlate it if you still agree.

Thanks for your help

What I'm going to work on in the coming weeks:

- The Script:
"Avalon Concept 2009 Background adder" was a first step
Next version will offer the ability to download different "package" of background wich will be automaticaly added to the skin by the Script. (I'll need the help of the scripter for that, if someone is interested,you are welcome...)
I will allow users to add several pictures of their choice to the Skin(currently they can only add one picture)

- The Skin:
I'm thinking about several options such as an option to change font police and font size in contact list, an option to remove the scene, an option to add a background for "What's New" . (using why not a picture specificaly added with the Script for that)

My option panel will be soon to small
(It's why I'm thinking about a script with several tab (one for contact list, one for chat window...)wich would replace the option panel...)

Yeah... I know how's that...
Things you may want to do:
  • Use less pictures, or no pictures at all (you can use a website for previews)
  • Use less text (You can add "DisHelp" to show the complete description when the option is mouse-hovered)
  • Blend some options into one (like make "Remove Convo/Logon/Contact List window's scene" into "Remove Scenes")

It's probably what I'm going to do first (I could use the "About" window but I'm not sur it's a good idea)

In fact adding an option to the skin is very fast but each time I spend a very long time to modify the option panel...

Do like me:
Release less often, but each time with a bunch of new options.
This way you won't need to always let your options panel perfectly organized, only hen you're gonna release it.
Let images and about window to when you've finished with adding options.

Wow I really love this! I think you need to update the icons for the chat window toolbar though.

Also, why is the plus! icon in the convo to the right of the menu button?? I like it more on the left.
