could you make the client skinnable so people could modify it to suite their needs?

skinnable in what way?

[geraintk 0]

so you could add you own colour scheme for the backgrounds and your own icon sets, etc

As far as I know that's already possible (to some extent) in the last version of PeerWebDC++ so it'd be natural to assume ApexDC++ would have that ability but I wouldn't know :D

In the settings, go to Colors & Fonts. You can change the toolbar icons by going to the Toolbar setting. :D

It would be nice if apexDC could be skinnable like mcDC

Skins and appearance are not so important for me....i prefer other features

Nah don't really need much more skinning options. In fact I don't even particularly care about customizable icons. :)

We plan to have an enhanced installer that allows the user to install either one of the following:

• Default DC++ icons
  
• StrongDC++ icons
  
• PeerWeb DC++ icons (or default apex)
  
• ApexDC++ icons (if some are created - not sure at this point)
  

This may increase the size of the installer considerably though, and the Binary version will only have ApexDC++ icons.

We plan to have an enhanced installation guide that allows the user to install either one of the following:

• Default DC++ icons
  
• StrongDC++ icons
  
• PeerWeb DC++ icons (or default apex)
  
• ApexDC++ icons (if some are created - not sure at this point)

What about a 'Download Center' to pick up visual upgrades and plug-ins, stuff like that foobar dll I've heard people nagging about and any other stuff like that and just have the default stuff in the exe? that way you'd reduce the filesize of the original download.

Isen't it better just making it totally customable (like McDC++) and add themepacks instead. (Less code anyways)
