I read on the Decal website that it doesn't work well with Anti-Aliasing. Is that still true? If so, why? Just wondering.

Decal uses a type of drawing in DX that is old and inefficient. This is also why Decal Views cause such a huge framerate hit.
If you really want FSAA you can disable Decal View drawing: http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/Virindi_Views#Advanced_tweaking
Doing that will cause you to lose access to normal Decal plugin UIs. Decal HUDs (and VVS views) will be unaffected.

Thanks for the info VI. As to the DX mode utilized, other than digging through the code, do you have any information regarding it? I'm interested from a programming perspective.
Thanks,

Decal sets D3DPRESENTFLAG_LOCKABLE_BACKBUFFER and then locks the buffer to draw to it.
Decal HUDs (DecalRender Service) and VVS both use D3DXSprite.
