I guess "heavily modified" here means "Xchat for Maemo - no matter which version of Maemo - is heavily modified compared to the original desktop version"? (And refers to my "more or less unmodified"?)

If so: sure. From my POV as an end user, it's hardly modified. I have the very same user experience as on my desktop PC. Take it as a compliment.

I'd just be interested in how screenshots look. Especially all the beefy settings dialogs... I felt they almost reached the limit of what could be done on OS2005-2008, but now Fremantle seems to have even bigger widgets, less usable space in dialogs... does it still work? Or did you have to "heavily modify" the whole application yet again and is this what you meant?

(And, btw: Thanks a lot for making it available. It's on my todo-list as "give 5 stars and write enthusiastic review on downloads.maemo.org", but it seems the 2008-version isn't listed there... yet. - Any reason for this other than "ah, that's still on my todo-list, I haven't had the time yet"? - If I understand it correctly, I could do it for you, right?)
