Ugh, that&#8217;s horrid.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m a little unclear from looking at their site as to whether that&#8217;s a replacment for the default MT interface that you see in your web browser (as is implied by the term &#8220;skin&#8221;), or whether it&#8217;s a seperate standalone program for posting to MT (such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kung-foo.tv\/kunglog.php\" title=\"Kung-Log\">Kung-Log<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interalia.org\/\" title=\"Among Other Things\">UserSpace<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zempt.com\/\" title=\"Zempt\">Zempt<\/a>). If it&#8217;s a standalone program, then okay, it&#8217;s most likely Windows-based, and the horrid ugly interface makes sense. But if it&#8217;s a &#8220;skin&#8221; designed to replace the standard MT interface within the browser &#8212; why is it so verschluggene ugly?<\/p>\n<p>I was going to go into more detail, but I&#8217;ve gotta head off to work, and I&#8217;m out of time.
