Good job there.
the screen shots look really cool.
will the patch be included officially ?

btw, i took a look at the patch, im guessing that your shaping
breaks on transparent chars (a.k.a NSM). you might want to look into
it.
if you need any help, i'll be around...

btw, i got Mandrake-10 CDs, want 'em ?? i can come to zagazig again :-))
