There are lots of skins out there for old KM versions. Ocasionally a button or two don't work anymore with a new KM and just need a little update in toolbars.cfg
Lets make a little list, which version changed what command?

	%ifplugin macros
	History{
	macros(Places_History)|Histor&y
	View History. Right-click for more options.
	toolhot.bmp[12]

Great thanks!
And just found in my old personal skin those random notes, probably not complete:

new in KM1.6:
Right-click menu for Tab History needs extra menu added on back/forward buttons
ID_NAV_BACK|History Back
ID_NAV_FORWARD|History Forward

new in KM154:
Right-click menu: replace "Config&uration" with "C&onfiguration"
ID_PREFERENCES|C&onfiguration

Oh... just notice, KM74 has the tab history working again *without* needing the menu extra defined on the button!
The tooltip doesn't mention that though, only says "Go back/forward one page"

And now I'm only realizing, 'slightly' belated:
In KM 1.6 the history plugin dated July-2012 has a bug, it can NOT show the history back/forward menu anymore.
After replacing history.dll in folder kplugins with the older version from Jan-2010, the menu appears again. Sigh, and there I've wondered for months why it didn't work anymore, but never enough to take a closer look :-/
So, if you wonder if there's something wrong with your toolbars.cfg, it's not. Just the plugin. Provided you added the menu as written above already (ID_NAV_FORWARD|History Forward // ID_NAV_BACK|History Back)

==> This only concerns users still using KM1.6 with the latest beta!

@JamesD

You mentioned in one of your posts that making the background of an images transparent leaves the image washed out.
Sorry for replying so late but I think it's better to explain why. The color you make transparent is missing from the image/layer.
Somehow that color must be put back in the washed out image. Therefore you need an exact copy of the image you have modified, colored (only) with the missing color - basically a new layer. Finally you copy the washed out image over the second image - basically you merge the two layers.

@ Yogi

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately for me, I have no knowledge of graphics or graphics programs. I am sure that I have some program(s) which do those things. Those programs just do not put labels on buttons or menus that are meaningful to my poor brain.
