I got the idea to show more info on the Merchant menu button.

1. left side = shows if a box is there to buy and which rarity it is. The image is linked directly to Import/Export and a tooltip may show the name.
   
   • box images: | common, uncommon, rare
   
   
2. right side = shows if a item is there to bid for and which rarity it is. The image is linked directly to Auctioneer and a tooltip may show the item. (there are BBCode tags for items)
   
   • Newtron: | bronze, silver, gold
     
   • Detroid: | bronze, silver, gold
     
   • Kraken: | bronze, silver, gold
     
   • Metal: | bronze, silver, gold
     
   • Crystal: | bronze, silver, gold
     
   • ..::Deuterium is coming soon::..

the sprites consists of strong, normal, tranparent images;
so are the preview images for every type, too
I have every images in large size (from the 200x200 px images) so there can be done other visualization features.
i will upload all images when this post is finished...
