Viper550, I asked Seveas about the usplash.<br>He was the one that informed me about the higher resolution, and he was going to make it use more colors.<br>I'm not sure when, but he told me he was going to let us know ( mailing list ).
<br>So we'll just have to wait for the good news :)<br><br>Cheers<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2006/8/29, Viper550 <<a href="mailto:gthompson@cogeco.ca">gthompson@cogeco.ca</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
