it would be great if patchou would make skinning for plus (like the pop-ups and that) possible so if you got a really boss skin, or WLM 8.5 beta*,you could complete the look, if you like

*i read somewhere the next version of plus will be skinned like 8.5 somewhere, probably 1 of the stickies but yeah

it is very skinable... but its got defects with it... i was making a theme but yea i had to stop because i couldnt make a new theme =\

wow, i didn't accually know that, has anyone made 1 that goes with WLM 8.5 beta?

Plus' 8.5 final release tie-in will most likelymatch the final 8.5 release theme.

It and the chat logs are currently skinnable via XML :

your avatar is similar to Bucky O' Hare

if there's at least a skin for toasts that plus generates then i'm happy

my avatar is accually jazz jackrabbit, the Out Of Dis World episode on the select screen that is, awesome game

yea ok as i said it cant be done for toasts...

RE: [preview] Messenger Plus Skin!

in that post i did have pictures why, but i seem to have deleted them

There are still images in the first posts...

But I think Nana means the images of the "skinned" toast which isn't present anymore...

woah i never saw the office based one before. HOT!

shame aero glass isn't a particular standard now too

note: I'd still enjoy seeing a skin of Plus! very much. If you're having any kind of technical problems, email me about it.

is there any news on when WLM 8.5 will officially be released? i don't really check on these updates very often

sorry for not replying.. I jsut get way too many emails sometimes... feel free to email me again (even if it's jsut a copy of your last mail).

As for the title bar of the windows, I'm not sure what you mean (I guess it would be best if you checked this yourself and let me know if you stiull have the problem with more details).

Hey Patchou,
  As you know, a few of us from the forums have been trying to skin MP!L. Just one thing I have found which doesnt seem to be skinnable which is annoying and kinda sticks out... TitleBar's background. If you could just add some extra attribute to disable the background gradient. For example:
<TitleBar Style="None">
I hope this can be implemented soon so I can continue to work on my skin!

I guess you could change the template to WindowTmpl for this kind of thing... but this may cause some other problems (I'd have to check the details).

Alright, as I really want to see one of your nice concepts be published on the site, I have added the option you needed. It will be in the next version .

Note: if you need anything else than removing the titlebar's background, now is the time .

wiii, excellent..

Well, starting from this post, people talked about some other 'problems'. Though I dunno how much these are real problems or not.

eg: something todo with XML containing (or not?) the positions of child windows?

Better ask NanaFreak, etc....

thanks heaps Patchou ;o

and also one thing is (as cookie stated) it would be good if you could position the childwindows in the xml... just so that you can make plus look different...

thanks again Patchou

well, you can already... when some of my interfaces use child windows, I add an invisible Element in the parent that I use to get the coordinates for the child.

You know, maybe you should have really told us all of his information BEFORE going on about how you wanted someone to do it.... it is kind of important ....

Anyway, I can't remember anything else that was a real problem, but maybe someone should at least make a thread with all the little stuff (and half-sticky it) so that other people can find this out in the future if they wish to have a go at it.

how the hell could i have missed that... i didnt even read it when i was skinning plus =\

no the only bad thing is that i have to start from scratch with it due to the loss of my old hdd (R.I.P. =p) also i am not too good at doing the plus windows anymore but i will give it my all... once i get an alpha/beta of web2live out ;o

I'll release one or two pages of doc about this with the next version but people visiting the forum probably won't learn anything new.

Also, as I know it's a lot of work, I promize I'll send something nice to anybody doing a skin of Messenger Plus! (and so you now, the next version will allow easier distribution of the files).

you shall see

did nana accually make a skin? fill me in, i was on holiday the past 2 weeks

im working on it... the skin cant really be done overnight... i would have to just have to work on it non-stop all day and i dont think i would get it done then either... its a big thing to do all the plus interfaces... i had to think of the design and that and im starting on actually making the design now...

sorry that i have taken so long but with school, and sharing a computer and also coding Web2Live the skin has to wait a little =\

i see, good luck with that, keep us filled in
