      Since Phil started the Java client work and my work is based on

      But DO make sure that it works without swing, as well.
     
     
I have had that in mind. The problem was that i wanted to use a
multistyled text component to display the drawinfos in different
colors, and the only one i could find was JTextPane. Supporting
both worlds can certainly be done, its just a bit more work. =P

Right now i have a lot to do, but in a couple of days i will give
it a try. I also have a couple of other ideas that could make the
java client numbero uno. ;)

      native scrollbars on the mac, though. It didnt seem likeyou changed much

      on the GUI level at all :-)
     
     
I changed the colors to be somewhat smoother to look at. I also
removed the unused fatigue bar and moved the HP/Mana/Grace/Food
values from the upper text area, to the statbar window. This way its
easier to quickly see the exact values. Finding them in a composite
string of text takes an extra annoying second. Ideally i would like to 
cut
out most of the text in that string and provide it in labels instead. I 
also
believe the PNG support to be a major facelift for the client.

As i said i have a few ideas about the client that involves changing
the GUI a bit. Its not any big changes though since i generally like
the way things are laid out.

Anyway. Thanks for the thumbs up. I will dive deeper into the code
when i resurface from the coming days of eyebleeding studies.

See you around.
