The advantage is that clist_nicer+ still supports the "old way" -of skinning and can, in fact, work without any skinning at all. - -It allows a very broad range of look - from pure classic look where everything -looks to fit the operating systems theme up to a system where various elements -of the contact list are skinned with partial transparent .PNG images. - -Beginning with version 0.5.1.15, quite a few changes were introduced in -clist_nicer+ skinning system. - -1. Rounded window corners and border clipping. ----------------------------------------------- - - This feature was changed. Previously, it was using a window region to cut - certain areas from the clist window making it appear "rounded". Now, this - feature is implemented by color keying. This means that you need to activate - the "full transparent" mode to use rounded window corners or clip away parts - of the border. If you don't you will see strange purple window edges (this - is, because the color key for transparency is by default set to "magic magenta" - (RGB(255, 0, 255)). - -2. Window frame/border style ------------------------------ - - It is no longer necessary to use the "clip border" option to get rid of the - window border. In fact, it is not recommended. A new option has been added - to Options->Contact List->Window. A combo box allows to choose from 4 - border styles: - - * Normal (normal title bar, thick window frame) - * Tool style window (toolwindow title bar, thinner window frame) - * Thin border (no title bar, 1pixel thin black border) - * No border (NOTHING). - -3. Fully transparent contact lists: ------------------------------------ - - This is one of clist_nicers special features. It is still available. In order - to make the contact list fully transparent, you'll have to: - - * DISABLE the options "Rounded window" and "Clip border by" (set the latter to - 0). If you don't do this, you won't get a fully transparent clist. - * ENABLE the "Fully transparent (like TweakUI)" option. - * On the "Background" page, set a background color to any value you want (the - color should match your desktop background color theme for best results). - * Also, you should activate the "Use these settings to skin the entire background" - option. - * Set the window border style to "None". - - \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
