After almost 3 years here, I am growing weary of the bland blackish client color. I know you can edit the colors.ini to change it, but it's so time intensive(besides, I have the attention span of a fart in a whirlwind  ). I am no programmer(see above reference to whirlwind), but with all the talented people here, I was wondering why nobody has tackled this? A small widget perhaps, like the windows customizer, which allows you to change colors on different parts of the client, then outputs a text file which you could then copy/paste into the colors.ini. Anyways, enough rambling from me. Toughts and comments??

I spoke to quite a few RL companies about offering a 'sponsored' version of the client, with a few bells and whistles added, to open up the functions available and make it 'skinable'. I mostly drew a blank simply due to numbers. Millions of accounts, doesn't constitute investment, when the stats suggest less than 100,000 active users. I suspect we may have to wait for some talented 'loner' to do it, or some corporate like Google to make something.

As a premium member I can think of nothing more horrific than an ad sponsored client.
I would consider paying a small fee to use a modifiable/skin able client, provided regular updates were taken into consideration.
However that’s a great idea when it comes to basic accounts, and would certainly add an incentive, however small, to encourage people to upgrade.
