No, it's the test skin not the plugin, but it will cause problems for anyone wanteing to test this if they are not familar with editing bits of roadrunner.

Read the Installer thread, webmaster checked with guino and has now changed it back to raod runner.

Ok, now for some observations on the plugin.

Trying to compose an email.

Clicking on the to box OSK comes up but text entered does not appear in the to field

Clicking Subject box does nothing

Clicking Message box OSK comes up and text entered appears in the message field.

k now i get it .. i'll fix that monday.. until then for anyone who downloads change the skin.ini BACKGROUND to a valid path to an image.

OH another thing. (it's late, I have a sore throt and a cold coming on so I have an excuse for being a pain)

This again is to do with the test skin

the font colours aren't defined so they default to black, which means the text on the menu doesn't show unless you have the mouse over it, and also the OSK input text isn't visible with the included background.

Again if you change the background to something light then they will show, but this will involve the tester having to make more changes to get this to work.

is not using defined its useing standard rr code , the input box yes my fault missed that 1 .
the font color is set by rr code to white. i did not have the plugin to test the skin before release i was skinning blind.

only the email label in the menu is set to white the other labels on the menu screen are set to

#PH1Red#,#PH1Grn#,#PH1Blu#

which are not defined, so show up black.

yes I know they are not strictly need to test the plugin but it is still slightly anoying.

oh and also exit does not work in the main menu as it is trying to pull up an exit menu which is not included. So I had to change it to just exit (now if someone has exit to exitmenu checked in their rrconfig that still won't let them exit)

The labels in the plugin .skin files are fine as they just use RGB values

This might be more skin related issues. Do me a favor and put rr in focus and type "ENTEREMAILTO"... type in a valid email address and see if the label is then populated. do the same thing with subject.. the command is "ENTEREMAILSUBJECT"

are you using xp? is it modified? check your system32 folder to see if mapi32.dll is already present. If so you can skip registering that. Can you properly register the .ocx file? Also, u want to make sure ur trying to register the files in the plugins folder if they dont already exist on your computer. There are dependency files in the plugin folder windows may need to find to correctly register.
