    I've noticed the lack of consistency to skin formatting controls in the dialogs: images/text cannot be centerd, text in some cases cannot be changed from label to fadelabel (they just disappear).

    I'd like the skinners to be able to hold to their particular skin design concept without having to resort to compromised elements (too small of text, oddly placed graphic elements) that loose cohesiveness and consistency.

    regards,

    Chuck

    Yes! Not only fadelabels, but textbox and textboxscrollup are often not supported either! I have many cases where text just runs off the screen and there is nothing I can do about it because no tags other than label are supported for the field.

    It really makes skinning complicated that some plugins (or built-in plugins) only will show your #variablewhatever if it is a label and not a fadelabel. Then you need to figure out what the maxlenght of this unknown variable MIGHT be, and pad other elements out of its way.
