The installer doesn't give you a choice remember? And those that know enough to move it know enough to use the correct path :P

Either get WinRAR or change extension of the .rar file to .zip [Image: msn_wink.gif].

I recommend downloading WinRAR though. And when the evaluation copy expires it just gives a notification and doesn't really stop you from using it :tongue:.
RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by gif83 on 09-05-2006 at 04:13 PM

nice skin.

would have been really good for me a little while back... while i went all "vista"


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Matti on 09-05-2006 at 04:16 PM

Great work, Stian! This is a masterpiece! :D
And thanks for letting me know so fast on WLM... ;)

RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Rik on 09-05-2006 at 05:24 PM

looks awesome (y)
great work :D


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by ShawnZ on 09-05-2006 at 05:26 PM

well, it looks more vista-ish than any current released/production theme, but i'm still waiting for one to include glass


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by haydos on 09-05-2006 at 06:16 PM

Amazing skin, I really like it. Thanks a lot (y)


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by markee on 09-05-2006 at 09:35 PM

That is an awsome skin, one of the very few I'm ever going to download for messenger.  Would be great if it could have a glass effect but I'm guessing that would be way too hard :P.  Anyway, it's a great job you did, cant wait until I get home to use it.


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Mentality on 09-05-2006 at 11:05 PM

Looks great, I'm using it, would be better with transparency obviously, but I don't believe that to be possible just yet. (unless you have vista (I have seen a screenshot where someone has Transparent WLM) but its a great theme, so thank you.


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Kenji on 09-06-2006 at 12:40 AM

You can set transparency in the plus! settings:tongue:

and nice theme, i might keep it :P


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by markee on 09-06-2006 at 08:51 AM

Would be really really nice if there was a matching Plus! skin.  The only downsides I can find with it are that I think it makes the colours too dark (I'm haveing to use a really light colour to see some of my contacts display names as they have used the colours avaliable with Plus!) and I don't really like the positioning of the windows logo, could it go where it normally is in the top left corner?  And I find the display pics a bit too big, I'd prefer to see more contacts personally.  Apart from this I love the skin and will continue to use it :cheesy:

Did you rename the old msgsres.dll to something or delete in and pasted the new msgsres.dll ? If yes, then start WLM again and you are done [Image: xso_cheesy.gif].

If no, then do that after closing WLM.

You need to extract the .rar file :p.

RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by alexp2_ad on 09-06-2006 at 09:49 AM

Decided to just give it a try, and it's really nice!

My only gripe is that it makes the contact list insanely long, any way of cutting that down would be appreciated.

Love the way the yellow bar (in standard WLM) has been made to look like part of the top bar!

And the big circular button for the menus, that's nice.

Looks best when the window is made about 10% transparent. :cheesy:


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Eddie on 09-06-2006 at 09:51 AM

Very very very nice skin :) The second skin ive only ever seen for Windows Live Messenger but its awesome! Great job. :)
EDIT: I agree with the contact list issue though.


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by markee on 09-06-2006 at 09:54 AM

The skin isn't too good with tabs on the left (EDIT: The tabs being on the top of the chat window is the same too).  The top of the chat window changes (I think the tabs part just goes over the top).  Also the bar in which the tabs sit on is the default colour and is not changed by the skin.

Try Resource Hacker, msgres.dll, 4004 > 1009.
code:
<usertileview SizeId=Small
And change that to:
code:
<usertileview SizeId=4

Set a color/image as standard for the background and try to re-open the window. Plus! can't update the color when you've changed the color in the window. ;)

Great! That did the trick for me. Thanks a lot :p.
* Felu messes with other things there :p.
RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by haydos on 09-06-2006 at 04:32 PM

Am I the only one experiencing an issue when "Show details" is turned on for contacts. When I do this, the names aren't left aligned properly anymore. (If this issue isn't reproducable I will add a screenie if needed...)

I have the same problem... Not too sure what causes it though. Also had an issue viewing grilfriends webcam using this skin, restored my other file and it worked again
RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by absorbation on 09-06-2006 at 07:40 PM

Ya, it's a very nice skin, I can't wait until some more finally start to show with some professionalism like yours :P


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by crank on 09-06-2006 at 07:47 PM

I didn't know this one was still being made :o
I have to get out less :P

I saw the very first screenies of this :p in the time you asked me some questions, before i completely gave up on skinning. Improved a lot :)


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by absorbation on 09-06-2006 at 07:49 PM

Your right crank. It has been a long project lol, the first concepts were first shown ages ago now :P


RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Chris4 on 09-06-2006 at 08:46 PM

The webcam effect looks dodgy, how can I remove it? :(
and change the background from the light grey back to white?
and remove the effect on display pictures?

Wish I could use mess patch with it, lots of things I want to change.

Anyway, this skin is made for Windows Live Messenger version 8.0787 but works up to 8.0.0812. This skin is not compatible with version 8.1 or higher.

RE: Vista Live Messenger (BETA) (WLM SKIN) by Matt-in on 01-22-2008 at 05:58 PM

Im In love with this skin. Since The 8.5 came out I just miss this skin. Can you make this compatible with the current and future versions of WLM or make a similar one ? :)
Thanks,
