1 minor thing that I did notice. On the home screen the time does not update unless there is some type of activity on the screen( ie. mouse movement). Not a big thing, but if I look at it for time, I would have to actually touch the screen for an update.

If I remember correctly the default skins updates the time every second. Now I don't really care for it updates that often, but on the minute would be nice.

Just my .02 cents worth :wink:

Interesting findings. Ran a few tests.
1) Default skin: Time keeps ticking away, all the way out to seconds.
2)Jowaldo skin: Time stands still, no seconds.
3)Colby skin: Time stands still, no seconds.

Again, non-defaults WILL refresh to current time WITH mouse movement.

I guess to really complete the test I should try to find a skin that has seconds?

UPDATE!

Jowaldo-You're absolutely correct! It has nothing to do with the skins. I went back to my test machine and ran the same tests as stated above and all worked perfectly for all skins.

DUHHHHHH. On the actual xlobby server I am I think at least 1 exe update behind. So it IS the exe. upgraded the server and now it fine. Sorry for the confusion.
