It is to time consuming to implement that my self.
Only third party "skin" libraries that I have consider it the light weight kind that only changes colors. Not the heavy kind that redraw everything in none standard way. But since I got so many custom UI components, There would be lots of places where it would not work. So the risk/chance for it is very low.

Regarding Tips, Help, Color Schemes, etc.

You might want to request input from long-time users/respected forum members.

If tips was stored in an .ini file format, or xml/html, then help could be provided in bringing it up to date.

It might be better to split out the tips into individual files (if multiple people were involved), which could then be merged for distribution with the MC downloads.

Adequate documentation is usually where open-source projects fail too.

All the TipOfTheDay tips are stored in <mcinstall>\Config\TOTD\totd.xml
And the tips uses pseudo HTML..  Not all HTML tags works. but many of them do.
(Try to press Ctrl+E in the TOTD Window)

I actually been updating (text+images) the online documentation a lot lately and but some areas are still missing. But they are coming..

Hi again.
I'll continue here, if nobody minds (if you do, please, feel free to split the message to a new topic).
I've tried to use some keyboard combos and actions, and noticed two strange things with SPACE button:

* It is said that I can calculate the folder's size by Shift+Alt+Enter, and also with Space. When I press Space on single folder, all works OK. But when I want to do a trick with several selected folders, the result is given for a focused folder only. Is that OK?
* I tried to work with keyboard only, like I usually do in WinExplorer. I wanted to select several files/forlders coming not one after another. I pressed Ctrl and began to press Space and moving through the filelist with Up and Down keys. It fails. How can I change this behavior? Or what other manner I can use to get the selection I want? P.S. I use WinExplorer mouse/keyboard/selection style, so Insert won't help me.Thank you.

1 Yes space key will toggle selection and calculate foldersize of item in focus.  It is so you can move up and down with arrow key and press space and to select file and also get their size.

2. Commander styled setup is best if you working with keyboard only.. then you can walk the list with arrow keys and toggle selection of files using space or insert key.
Ctrl + Space ? never seen that combo before..  not sure you can get it using Explorer Styled setup
In Explorer Panel settings you can uncheck the options under "Selection Methods" But that will probably mess with with setup you want to have..
