Yeah, it's a nice skin, Tsorovan.  :)  I thought you weren't ever going to release it; I mean you actually completed it sometime in January, right?

About the font (Franklin Gothic Medium), it probably should be available with the skin, if possible.  Currently they cannot be included directly in the xmpskin.  Lucky me - I've still got it installed from your first version!  :D

Brightguy: I was out of touch with the world of Internet for a while there, but now I'm back in full force. And thanks again for your help with it :)

xminionx: Thanks!

Thing is, this font...I actually made two different zips, but after conferring with Ian, only the one without the font made it (after all, it is a copyrighted font). I'm very sad that there's not a simple way to release it without infringing Microsoft's copyright. Try to get it through other channels; it's installed by default in WinXP.

I mentioned some of this in the readme text file in the zip.
There, I also mention that it's made for this particular font as it's the only good-looking font that's smaller than Tahoma whilst still being fully intelligible at size 7. It's too bad Microsoft never hinted (a process for tweaking fonts at smaller sizes) their fonts at sizes <7. It's possible (I've made one, bitmappily :)) to make a Tahoma variant at a size of approx. 5 (7 px; Tahoma 7 = 9 px), but I haven't got the appropriate software for the task.

I want smaller fonts in the world!

(Bitmap font support in XMPlay would be nice, HINT HINT! :D)

Merf, now I have to hunt in my virtual pc for that font :(

I'll upload it somewhere if I find it.
