This skin features the clean and simple design of Messenger Plus! Live and 75 options to customize Messenger. It lets you select the position of certain elements, hide or add buttons and play with several other things to make your Messenger look more stylish and suit your own needs. If simplicity and functionality is what you are after, then this skin is the perfect one for you.

This version is the final one for Messenger 2008.

Download!

I do like it, good job.  I will def. give this a go!

I got that idea too... nice job my friend... can you please post a link to a bigger screenshot to see it in details???

btw why you putted [release] tag if you haven't released it at all???

When you have released a skin you put [released]. When it's in progress you put [release]. At least this is what I have seen in other threads.

*sigh* Look, first of all, you need to actually attach the skin for people to download. But wait! how can you if you've already used the attachment for the image? I know, how about we upload the image to imageshack.us and then attach the skin using this board's attachment feature?

While you're at it, you *might* want to link to a bigger image, you can do this by using [url=http://imageshack...][img=<width>x<height>]<img url>[/img][/url]. There, that wasn't so hard was it...mmm...

For example:




Oh, and no, people usually use [Preview] for when it's just showing off what they have done so far on a skin, not [Release].

Unreleased skins are supposed to have [Coming Soon]  or something  along those lines, and released skins have [Release]

Good Skin btw

I do actually kinda like it

Good skin, however why are some icons are random? For example, you used Quick Texts icon of Plus! for Choose Color function, and Transparency icons for Send a File function. They confused my mind a bit

I don't think you'll be allowed to call it Messenger Plus! Live. Possibly not even allowed to use the Messenger Plus! Live logo for the messenger logo either. Besides that it's looking promising.

I think as long as it's made clear they are not Official skins and not affiliated with the company in any way, it's ok. Usually companies don't mind as it's free advertising to them; they only get annoyed if it portrays a bad image

I completely updated my skin "Messenger Plus! Live" to version 1.5
What is new in version 1.5:

• Completely new design
  
• Over 40 options to customize your Messenger
  
• New toast design
  
• New buddy images

Looks good Basilis

1) If it is complete, why isn't it released yet?
2) use an image host and the img tags instead of using up two pids with attatchments.

And here is the Chat Window and the Options Panel

Why make a new thread? o_o

It looks good
Also in the Sign in window
is it your name suposed to be there?
If it is, try changing oppacity or something..
Coz i dont like it that way
Other than that.. Looking great

Tell strazz he owns, kthx.

Looks very good but I think it would look even better if you remove the bevel-border around the windows, that looks pretty bad.
Good work on your option-panel, but there's only options to hide stuff, not actually that many new features, I would like to see some.

What is the bevel border? And how can I remove the shadow in the Chat window toolbar? I don't like it too.

Ok. I think I got it. I'll post a new screenshot

So, I had completely forgot about this thread. Anyway, as you can see in the first post, the skin has reached version 4.0

It didn't manage to win in the skinning contest for which I was working for almost a month, making sure every works perfect, adding new options and fixing bugs but at least, my efforts made the skin much better than it was.

Please post your opinion about this update, any suggestions you have or any bugs you have found in it here and vote in the poll about it. Thanks.

BUTTONS!

You haven't changed the buttons.. It'd definitely make its look even better

EDIT::

You may want to change the "Windows Live Messenger" title to Messenger Plus! Live?

If so, you should change the strings 20176 and 61143..

Actually, I had changed the buttons to Plus! ones but it confused users so I changed them back to the default ones in order to be more user-friendly. About changing the string, well it must be Windows Live Messenger so the user knows which is program it is. It would be confusing. Thanks for the suggestion though. If you have any more, please tell me.

I had asked Patchou to give me permission. I named it like that because it was the logical thing to do. I accept your opinion but for me it makes sense, as well as it does for most of the people I have asked.

The skin was updated to version 4.5 and now contains 75 options. It is the final version and there be no further development for Messenger 2008.

That's a shame. But it's your choice.
