| Hey Nick, hey fans, this is a quick vote of support for Suggestion... 086 I think; the suggestion for inserting a background image.
I love MUSHclient, I love how it's not bloated, but to tell the truth the only background colours I can conjure up that aren't depressing just end up clashing with a reasonable ANSI pallette. ^^;
I just downloaded SimpleMU, and I'm seeing if it can compete. So far it looks like it's for a slightly more laypersonish crowd... but... it has the background image! *.* Maybe I'll keep MUSHclient for Staffly duties and coding, and SM for playing... oro... ;) | | Top |

| | It is features like background images that make a client bloated, and I for one, prefer plain ANSI grey on black with standard colors. That is what makes MUSHClient so fast and reliable, no pointless cosmetics. |

| As long as its optional, and doesn't complicate matters for those who don't want to use it, I suppose it doesn't hurt. Although, since I have experienced a much higher number of unexplainable crashes after the pueblo/mxp features were added, I suppose it doesn't hurt to be wary of new features.
However, I have to admit that after using Netscape 6.2 for a while, I have kind of taken a liking to sleek, elegant themes. It really can make an application much more visually appealing, and that does count for something. | | Top |

| | In the case of the latter Netscape versions I would say that features and application crashes go hand in hand. No, I am not trying to start a browser war, I just think that Netscape was a bad example of a sleek application that works fine. ;) Sort of like Windows XP. *cackles madly and watches the thread fill with IE/Opera/Lynx/Netscape and Linux/XP/Mac flames and feels pity for the person that will have to moderate the post later* |
