Believe it! It's the first MSN Messenger 6.1 skin... Urban MSN. Based on the Urban MSN Icon set by FOOOD. You can download it from Roland Underground.

those tabs are standard ?? .. when i downloaded 6.1 beta from mess i only got the 3 tabs ive always had

What we mean is if it does have custom tabs then it shouldnt be 6.1 specifically because it wont allow it (yet.. im hoping) and there not all standard.. i have only seen the face one on a custom tab.. never seen the game one and the NBC one i have never seen as standard.. but i could be wrong

It is 6.1... I just had the configcache.xml file backed up when I installed 6.1

6.1 doesnt take the tabs from the configcache.xml though
either someone is tellin porkeys or you msn is very screwed..

wooo ... guess what bud .. we just caught u out lol .. coz msn 6.1 reads its configcache.xml file off of a microsoft web server!

Download the skin before you accuse ok?

The skin isnt part of what he means.. its the fact that he says he has 6.1 but yet you cannot have custom tabs.. (which he also saus he has)..   kinda shame really cause for a second there i was hoping someone had found a way.. o well

exactly .... i dont see any custom tabs in ur pic Hova

I took them off. I know those tabs he had. And that is MSN 6.1 obviously.

Give me 5 - 10 minutes to get them back.

ok .. ill give it to u .. it might be msn 6.1 .. but explain why its so called Creator didnt know a simple thing like the configcache.xml is hosted on a server for 6.1 ... and that would be something he would have needed to change some code and knew what he was doing for it to be locally stored

He didnt change any code. The tabs he has are msn alerts. Jeez. They can be set up for MSN messeger via http://alerts.msn.com/alerts/SignUpAlerts.aspx?rdr=1

There are no custom tabs he has. Those can be set up at the site above. He just signed up for them. Those are the default tabs, which need to be set up, as was stated before.

Yea.. but what Shady means is he said he did them himself.  i.e custom tabs..

well in that case .. i only thought it was impressive coz he tabbed it .... but thats ordinary im sorry to say.. if i was any good at graphic design i could do it myself


[edit] and if ur pic is correct Hova he hasnt even bothered to skin any of the convo windows... so basically all he has done is changed a few pics around (which came from somebody else) and slapped his name on it [/edit]

why are u all making a big fus about the tabs ???? Hova is correct, i didn't change any tabs and i don't have custom tabs. But that's not what this is about, this is about Urban MSN

lol very true..  but you confused us all by saying that you did have custom tabs.. we were making a fus because this would have been sweet if we could all have the tabs again. Anyways its a great Skin!

i sed its ordinary coz he slapped a few pics on it and called it his own!!! .. i am a very big fan of booghosts work ... in fact i sometimes help booghost with his matrix skin! ...

He hasn't wrote anywhere that he slapped on images, he said the icons were made by FOOOD. I would guess that he made his own images and then port them to MSN. Not such a small feat IMO.

I know its kinda simple but it's very hard to find the border of every frame. And if you'd notice the icons in the options dialog you would see that only a few are made by FOOOD, the rest were made by me... and there some more stuff. And there was "slapping", I got permission from FOOOD to use these icons just in case you were wondering. If you would like to see more of my work, you can check this out.

well i'd be actually using FOOOD's icons, so no...... I would still not have an idea for my own

[offtopic] I knew i had seen your sig somewhere else, i'm also a LP fan [/offtopic]

clearly this is ripped off by previous urban MSN messenger I made for version 5... it is just a STOLEN IDEA... damnit... come up with an original idea... instead of copying others...

i never heard about your skin

and to tell the truth me and |Rolando| have nothin in common and just had the same idea

the thing is that FOOOD's Urban Icon are just as good as to make a skin

take this for instance...


is it something i'd make up in 2 minutes?.. even the "blocked" icon is the same... please don't tell me 'he happened to have the same idea'...

I was planning to release the urban msn messenger 6 after 6's final release but someone already has taken credit for it...

emailing to FOOOD is not necessary... I also got permission for using his icons... it is just tooooo *sorry for the language* bullshit... excuse me but that's my opinion...
btw... atleast work on the skin before you release it... all the status icons look crappy... and there are dozens of minor things to improve...

okay... I apologize if I'm mistaken but I still have my own doubts... but thats not an issue... maybe we can even work on something together?.. the aim seems to be quite samelike?..

or letting the users decide sounds good...

i better like qune top bar the one where the nick is displayed

hey |Rolando|..  i like the Urban skin!  Good job

can we get a third person who says u ripped penguin msn?

Is it "Lets beat up on |Rolando| day" or something? He made skins, other people made skins. Leave it alone.

I just skinned my 5.0 out of Rolando's, i want to skin Windows Messenger 4.7 with yours now (so  they're different and complimentary). I also hate Windows Messenger 5, mainly because there's no email link

Bleh.

It doesn't matter how many skins you've made, or whatever you do in them.

The only skins that are good in the eyes of news sites are ones like, "Mess.be skin" "Neowin.net skin" or some skin made from the design of a popular site.

I've made 13 skins. I know most are color changes, but they're still skins. When I see news of 6.0 skins on certain news sites they go on about how they're "100%" skinned, yet it's not possible to skin the whole thing.

I thought it was about how you fool around with messenger, mess with the messenger, etc. I didn't know it was suppose to be how much a person does.

Edit: BooGhosts skin rocks. Much better than some skins based off a popular site, and stuff.

Well perhaps it's because you don't have any screenshots. Personally I have modified both my EXEs and MSGSLANGs to be the way I like them so that when I do use them they work better. They are based on versions 5.0.054 (MSN Messenger) and 4.7.2009 (Windows Messenger). So if I do want to use a skin I'll add it to my own originals myself (which I've only done with urban thus far) here:



The many modifications I've made include (obviously) the idle tag in place of away, the removal of (Online) from your status, and the removal of the "my status" text complete removal of ads (except in Windows Messenger since I haven't found a program that can do it yet) but this includes removing the ads from Add a Contact and various other interface improvements including the removal of warnings, complete removal of "customer experience improvement program" options, complete removal of new version notification, etc:



(Note that in my screenshots above there's no text in the inclusion box/add a contact. This is because the server that sends it to msn messenger I have blocked, not because of an error in the program).

lol i hate urban msn the mess.be one rules and peguin

Yes well I want the other Urban MSN skin now, must have MUST HAVE!!
