In the latest build, AOL has added what can only be desribed as Internal Skins for their Software. There are currently 4 flavors to choose from and I must say, They are very interesting indeed. The newest build features not only "Themes", but also drop shadows for the menu's and one of the themes currently avaiable also has an animated background. AOL has certainly taken an unexpected approach to remain #1 in America. Never have I seen AOL make such a turnaround, in such little time. The following is a list of features seen in the new AOL 8.0.......Desktop Themes, Prefered Mail, AOL Downloads Directory (Now in C: Root Directory), Music Sharing, Host Based IM Sounds, Mapquest added to Address Book, Host Based Favorites (No Longer Locally Stored), Use Enter Key to send Instant Messages, Your Buddy Is Typing (Typing Indicator on Remote Side), Categories in Address Books,
