Purpose of this document: Describe the skinning system of clist_nicer+, 
provide help for some common problems when using the various skinning options.

First of all: While adding a lot of possibilites to skin the contact list, 
clist_nicer+ skinning is still not as advanced as it is in clist_modern. 
Some effects (like glassy transparency on borders) isn't possible without 
converting the plugin to a "layered" application, which I don't want at 
the moment. 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".
