ok, so it's not TPL. Roberdin, you must be the kind of person that notices the ding on your passanger side instantly when coming out to the parking lot. Never mind the Mac truck speeding your way, loaded with gravel, no breaks and honking madly! That nasty ding on the door... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:...

Although doing it through Flash would be quite... flashy... it would cause some problems in some slow lines, browsers, etc. etc. I am sure it could be done with the combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The current style interface is functional, but minimalistic. The template system has no interface to it, other then diving into the code itself. I looked at the code of templates, and it seems there should be little trouble developing an add-on piece (be it a "MOD" or otherwise), which wou...
