Description (last modified by durin42) (diff)
We need to upgrade existing installations of new stuff, and if a message style was removed we need to gracefully change to something else.
List here the needed changes:
Plastic -> Stockholm Aqua icon set -> pss2 icon set (double-check - it hasn't worked for me with any sense of reliability if it's there)

(In [15997]) Starts of an 'xtra not found' notification system. Refs #3980

So a user launches 1.0 and is presented with an error?
Perhaps we should just do a silent upgrade...

There ought to be such a system anyway, even with the ability to migrate an old Xtra choice to a new one.

Yeah, in retrospect, perhaps presenting an error dialog is not the greatest idea. We already have some silent upgrade code (switches to the default message style)... how would we let users know what happened though? I don't really feel like getting flooded with "1.0 broke my messages !!!" when we release.

We've done the silent upgrades/fallbacks a long time ago, it was mostly acceptable.

Silent upgrade needs to actually be implemented, though.

In other words, if the person was using Plastic, it should switch to Stockholm, which is similar. Minimal should switch to Minimal Mod.
