It all sounds good.
I tried fixing my chat journal, but the problem is that the journal itself won't fit into the skin provided. The skin provided is what the group listing used to sit in, and the actual journal box is a bit bigger than the skin box. I tried resizing and changing frames and that made it look wierd. Again, not a big problem, just something I happened to notice, and also. the background is set to visable in the screenshot. I'll mess with it tomarrow and see if I can fix it myself. I didn't get a chance to fiddle with resizing yet. I totally forgot about it.
Not sure if you can see it, but in the screenshot I have two quest items up at once, the second one there is a picture of a key under it, but since the journal box is bigger by default than the skin, the key actually goes outside the skin's box.
