O.P. unskinned

i know there's probably a good reason for this but why doesn't plus skin all your toasts eg [Image: attachment.php?pid=931027]

RE: unskinned

Depends if the skin creator skinned the toasts or not. I think Oil Slick has an option to skin the toasts somewhere is the options, look for it.

Edit: Uncheck "Don't Skin Toast/Popup Design" under Miscellaneous in skin options.

Oil Slick doesn't skin Plus!, just the Options panel.

RE: unskinned

plus has its own files independent of messenger. I think the main reason developers choose not to skin it is because its not as easy as normal wlm windows. You don't have as much flexibility.

Bit of an understatement, methinks

But yes, Plus! windows in Oil Slick (and most other skins so far) are apparently insanely hard to control (Willz can testament to that

), hence the reason not many skins do this.

It also doesn't really matter too much anyway, as you're not as likely to see the Plus! options panels (save custom toasts and script windows where appropriate) as, say, the chat window.

That was a completely pointless post, wasn't it? Ah well :/

Actually, when I open Oil Slick's panel, it is not skinned. Can you post a screenshot so I know how it should look like?
