[Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by warmth on 12-22-2007 at 09:08 AM

Well you guys... many of you have seen my work cloning WLM 8.0/8.1 in Old School Messenger... but just a few of you have been able to see my real designs... well now is time to show you a few screenshot of what is already in development...

My new skin will be called Web 2.0 Messenger... a tribute to the new face of the web... and its amazing technologies... RSS, CSS, XML, Ajax, Blogs, CMS, Prosumers, etc are a few of the words coming to my mind when I talk about Web 2.0... and based in this design...

This project will be brought to you by me and one amazing venezuelan company called Pixel Studios... Hope you enjoy it...

Here are a few screenshot of the beginning of W2M skin!!!

Be sure this thread will be updated as soon as I get new screenshots for you ;)!!! There are A LOTTTTTTT of work to do with this skin idea :P

Note: the only defect this skin is gonna have... is that the size will be fixed... cause the graphic design :(...

Sorry, but I don't like it. You're using way too much white-space, and all these lines are just unnecessary. Try doing it a bit more compact.
And I'm just curious, what would happen if you resize the window?

It's interesting, but I don't like it, sorry.


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by vikke on 12-22-2007 at 09:18 AM

It looks nice, well done. I like how you did with the DP in the middle. :) But it doesn't fit for a Messenger skin, if you need to have a fixed size. It also gets very confusing where to click etc.
Sorry about not reading the whole post.


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by warmth on 12-22-2007 at 09:21 AM

don't worry dude... future is coming ;) and at first blogs were accepted but now....... :P

and trust me... you will know where to click with get finished... this is a skin for advanced users...

UPDATE: check the first post... to see what I'm pointing to...


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by Nurgle on 12-22-2007 at 09:38 AM

RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by mattisdada on 12-22-2007 at 10:01 AM

Very cool concept.... but i would never use it. But i would defintly check it out. Could shape up to be very very good.... but the concept although cool... wont work well IMO

He didn't mean it was a concept screenshot, he meant he liked what you've been trying to do.

That is goood!!...I am going to download it;) . Bye.


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by raghav on 12-22-2007 at 11:07 AM

The login screen looks too complicated and i dint like the round display pictures.So overall it looks  an "ok" skin not a great one though but i'm hoping it'll look good once its complete :) .


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by Quantum on 12-22-2007 at 11:34 AM

There nothing wrong with this skin. I like it alot. the design looks very professional and it looks like alot of hard work went into this. :)


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by aNILEator on 12-22-2007 at 11:41 AM

Concept sounds good, application isn't so good. That's my opininon anyway.

I don't associate those diagrams or illustrations with "web2" generation websites.


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by NanaFreak on 12-22-2007 at 11:57 AM

that is NO WHERE near web2.0

i think you need to look at a few tutorials for web2.0 websites so you get an idea for how web2.0 works :)


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by Nathan on 12-22-2007 at 12:24 PM

Oh and the login is really cool but defo not web 2.0

Secondly the chat box's don't go with the rest of the design imo


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by nunoperalta on 12-22-2007 at 12:26 PM

The idea is cool... but the skin is not good to use, specially in small ecrans ;p


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by aNILEator on 12-22-2007 at 12:37 PM

I thought the logon looked more like something from Portal

Exactly.
The signin windows looks muddled, the convo windows (although probably not finished) don't look good.

:S as I said all is in its very very begin... nothing is neither near to be finished... this is just a fast look at my idea... but the finish product MUST BE very very different... this is just version 0.1...
RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by aNILEator on 12-22-2007 at 08:46 PM

can you just post thumbnail screenshot links please? the shots currently are pretty big

Also you say it's very very beginning will look much different etc, then why bother announce and say coming soon? :S


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by ipab on 12-22-2007 at 08:54 PM

I must say, it's a pretty cool idea (y).

Thanks... do you have any ideas or suggestion for it???

RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by aNILEator on 12-23-2007 at 01:37 AM

Look at more designs for popular 'web2' sites I still think the expression is flung around everywhere these days but most of the popular sites dubbed as web2 are simple to navigate and have simple buttons and layout. Not blueprint diagrams.

Although I do like the concept you've done on the log on window I think the options etc are all far too spaced out and doesn't lend itself to a 'web2' style.

I think that idea could be developed further into say for example a circuitry skin, where everything is linked together as if it was a circuit diagram or blueprint, if really thought about it could be very geeky cool :P Like opening a group in contact list looks like it turns on a switch in a parallel circuit or something :P


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by warmth on 12-23-2007 at 02:38 AM

jajajaja thanks for the ideas I will think about it :P


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by Matt-in on 02-10-2008 at 11:08 PM

That is a very Nice Skin and what makes it pretty good is JUst its simple :) Very Nice Idea, I would like To Advice that it can be much better if you would also put an option of The White Skinned Version Of The stock wlm skin. But Not That Bright :) It should have the effect that it has which seperates the colour but It will be awesome if it wont be bright.
Keep It Up :) And If I were you. I would just let a first version for release to let people comment and let you know what you need to do :)

Thanks


RE: [Coming Soon] Web 2.0 Messenger by warmth on 02-11-2008 at 12:03 AM
