Hi,

I have been looking at why I don't use RenGuard, and it came down to two factors. The one BHS can help with is my 2nd one, The interface.

What I am requesting is BHS consider an RG 'Lite' version.

The idea behind it is to make RG as invisible and unobtrusive as possible. A simple popup when you run Renegade could display "RenGuard Connected", and an ok button, click ok, and Renegade loads. (And an error if RG doesn't connect)

Heck, why not go further and just play 'connected' and 'disconnected' sounds (like TeamSpeak), save having to click anthing at all.

Another option I like is to overlay the connection dialog on Renegade, the same way TeamSpeak Overlay does it. (Dunno how exactly, but can't hurt to suggest)

All extra options (Install CP1, RenGuard sounds, etc.) are disabled by default, save unticking them.

The RenGuard website doesn't load, saving time and bandwidth. (A tiny amount, but the idea is minimalist.)

I'm sure there are more, but I haven't run RG in a while, so I can't remember then all.

I think a minimalist (read: Almost Invisible) RenGuard would make me more willing to run it, rather than the current (1.03) interface.

Even if you don't take all/any of these ideas, at least I can say i've tried to make RenGuard better (in my opinion)
