Thanks... Now for the reasons I did things the way I did
Chat Windows:
If I used the original graphic.. I would have to set it up as a "static animation" and display it on the chat window.. But, I think, the window would have to be set to unsizeable. I'm not sure if a static animation can be resized in game.. Otherwise, I don't think it would be static.. Not to mention if it did resize it would look horrible!!
If someone wanted to open more chat windows (nice for sorting info ingame and chat channels): They wouldn't be able to resize them and make it fit in..
Player Info Window: (this one's easier to explain)
A.)All that info is on Mafoos player info mod. The most downloaded player info window on this site
B.)It's player info
C.)I'm one of those lazy people
