[Release] Iron Man - An Advanced skin by Willz on 03-27-2008 at 10:54 AM

Release #3 for the month of March. After an exhaustive effort I am now ready to release what is indeed an advanced skin.

Iron Man does not follow the normal design of windows live messenger like most of my other skins. This is skin can not really be described in writing, it is something you have to experience for yourself to believe.

Enjoy this release everyone and expect more skins like this soon :)

Windows Live Messenger 8.5 ONLY

Is this the same build I already have Will?

And to everybody this truly is an amazing skin, it's the first I'd judge as a 'real' skin similar to that of Windows Media Player.

Now give us Batman Skin!

No it isn't Nile, this build has gold Display picture borders and the games panel has a container. Asides from that it is essentially the same build.

Batman eh :P sure why not. On my to-do list.

After changing a few very basic settings in the options panel, my messenger refuses to show itself, it loads but i cannot see it at all :(

The only options i changed, were to hide a few of the buttons at the top and separate the events bar.

Ok firstly do you have messenger plus 4.60 and wlm 8.5 (always gotta ask that first :P)

If you do, then go to C:/Program Files/Messenger Plus Live!/Skins/Iron Man

and see if you can see a skintrace.txt file, if there is one just put up what is in it here. Though I tested this skin myself and sent it to nile as well just in case and I'm sure everything was fine.

*EDIT

found the issue myself, appears to be something weird going on with plus button hiding. I'll check it out now and send a fix to menthix straight away.... hmm strange i didn't have this issue before.

You didn't have to do that you know, just go to add/remove software and click change/remove Messenger Plus! Live! and click Repair :)

EDIT: To Willz reply, yes i am always up to date with the latest versions of pretty much everything, so you do not have to worry about that, I'm using WAM2.0 as i type this [loving it by the way], and i did not select to hide ANY of the Messenger Plus! buttons *-)
RE: [Release] Iron Man - An Advanced skin by Willz on 03-27-2008 at 12:03 PM

blergh +o( i got my definitions directories confused and an earlier file was in there. It's ok its all fixed now. Sending to menthix, for all those having issues please just download the new version when its up and all will be well.

The issues were spaces, messenger plus and scripts. The uifile that was included was a point where i was experimenting with the button restructure that allows the fading effect to happen.

Willz phails at quoting nonetheless :p Your skins all have an orb (or something) in the corner of the contact list. :)

I find the contact list a little hard to read cause there's too much detail in between contacts in the "regular" size.

I'm still seeing what features there are though :P
