No problem Datagg... everything is OK now. I was so angry, well... not so angry, but very, very sad when I wrote those words. I mean, we all are trying to make this antivirus even more attractive and "eye-catching". There were no any other hiden intention. As I said before, I know that there is million different users out there with different wishes and ideas how their avast! copy should look like on their desktop. I am aware that not all of them will like all of my (or Martin's) skins... and that's OK, million different souls, million different thoughts. My intention wasn't to force somebody to use that particular skin, but to have wonderful possibility to choose between all those in avast! skin download section. If somebody find all those skins ugly or too gamey, no problem... there is always option to use low-res skin made by Martin and also as you said, default one (Blue Panel). But, one thing must be clear to you... Blue Panel is just one among the others, skin that was made with same program SkinBuilder, exactly same procedure... just like all other skins.
No hard feelings, verbal fight is over, so we can concentrate on most important thing... and that is how to solve your problem guys. I think I'm already half way to find solution, but you must help me... you must test it, I don't have graphic card that gives me headach like the ones that produced some problems to you and Tipton. You are the best persons to test it...
I already did some changes to one of my skins yesterday (Laah-Ra). I replaced one big TGA file with BMP. That was the only skin made by me that contains TGA files with alpha channel (transparency). I knew that skin is possibly the only one made by me that makes you those problems. We'll see now. Martin likes a lot to use TGA's in his skins, and we'll have to talk to him too, so he can do something with his babies...
Keep me updated, please...
Regards !
