  1. True, not many applications don't allow setting colors. Also, Vista/Win7 Aero theme is so stupid that it has all colors hardcoded (except of glass color) and it's almost impossible to change it (same with favgroup color etc). That's why it's not recommended to change application color scheme if you need to be stuck with that free,cool&in aero theme.


  2. They'll get used to it. People don't like change. :P

    Yes, they will. We will hear "This is the worst version, because has some strange lines in lists" for a few weeks, but they will use it when they find out when more and more new application has same appearance :P

    Also, it is funny that users refuse old nice Windows classic theme (which is much more usable for real work), because it is "going back to MS-DOS" etc. but they set several ancient circus themes in applications which corrupt look of Aero theme loved by them :o


  3. I moved it to root folder, because I consider it as global settings which has no meaning to be settable per user (i.e. some IP range is Russia for all users). "Settings" is per-user settings and it's location is settable in dcppboot.xml.


  4. No, you won't be able to run this application then :P

    I just wanted to say that all over the Internet I still read that "Aero is cool", "Vista look is nice" etc., so I just enabled application to adopt Vista/win7 native look. And what happens now? users don't like vista look? :o solution is: if you don't like vista/win7 look, just disable it :P


  5. Yes, of course. Also, DC++ is developed under "This program is licensed under GPL-2 with the notable exception that you may compile and link it with OpenSSL (www.openssl.org) and WTL (wtl.sourceforge.net). " which is incompatible with GPLv3, so it means that DC++ violated license, because PPK is copyright holder of every code in czdc ;)


  6. Imagine what happens:

    Let's say that 10000 users will use ApexDC++, but only 2000 of them knows what DHT is (I have found only very small amount of users who knows that) and only 500 of them will enable it. And to have it due to only 500 users? It's absolutely meaningless.
