Yes, its part of our Bandwidth saving process. For about a day we were defaulting all preview images to the 100x100 preview. However at this time we have released that default for registered users and their settings will work as they should. But at high traffic times we may need to reset the images to be small again. It has proved to decrease bandwidth usuage.

A button can have either text on it, or it can have an image on it. The image that is placed on the button is called an icon. So a button and an icon are not the same. Windowblinds can skin the Buttons appearance (Color, background, etc). But does not change the image, or icon, that is on the button. Hope that helps.

Hmm, I was thinking server side but I guess it could be done on the client. We would just have to store all the invididual files separately as well as a skin suite. Download the individual files and once they are downloaded then package them as a whole. Now a problem I see with that, lets say you download a suite and only have two apps. You then send that file to a friend of yours. But he has 5 apps. He doesn't get to see the whole suite because he received the file from you. So at t

I also received the same reply that David did and they have kept to their promise and have changed the link to their old style page for their ICQ themes.

Remember when the screen saver AfterDark came out. It started a huge craze for screensavers. Everyone wanted to have their own unique screensaver. I personally expect that XP's visual styles will do the same thing and cause the skinning community too boom! After all look how popular skinning is for ICQ and WinAmp. The general user usually tends to use one of the programs and gets introduced to skinning that way. Once they find out they can change the look and feel of their entire d

Currently at this moment people without an account cannot view or download any skins. This is only a temporary measure. Once the traffic dies down we will turn off this restriction.
