[Release] Minimal Messenger by Spunky on 04-05-2008 at 03:24 PM

Ok, so this is my first skin thats going to be posted on here (that is somewhere near completion at least). It essentially allows you to make Messenger more compact, which makes it suitable to use at school or work (if you can get away with it).

Obviously, this cannot be added to the skins database as it needs to remove adverts to maximize space. You will also notice a lot of buttons missing or moved slightly. Again, this is for issues of space, but all features can still be reached through the menus (whether you want to change status, name or start an activity with a contact)

The screenshot doesn't really do it justice tbh

So, gimme feedback and stuff

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by ShawnZ on 04-05-2008 at 03:25 PM

can you put buttons that were originally on the main toolbar in chat windows into a little drop down button on the editing toolbar?

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Spunky on 04-05-2008 at 03:27 PM

I'm sure I could add (probably have to edit) a menu and use their cmdIDs

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Basilis on 04-05-2008 at 04:04 PM

I could say it looks nice. But you have to edit the corners and also where is the contact search bar? For every kind of help, don't mind to ask.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by aNILEator on 04-05-2008 at 04:11 PM

you're not supposed to have ad removed skins on this forum either unfortunately, afaik though external links are A.OK

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Spunky on 04-05-2008 at 08:01 PM

Well, with time I could do the reg key trick, but I don't have any options yet.

You don't even need an option pannel defined to get them to work afaik

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Basilis on 04-05-2008 at 08:28 PM

But he needs to have knowledge of creating options. Feel free to ask or check my skin

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Justin on 04-05-2008 at 10:54 PM

Nice skin I really like it.
A problem I encountered though, when maximizing it seems to lag. Another problem that I encountered was when you change back to another skin, all the icons at the top are missing (share folders, games ect)

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Spunky on 04-05-2008 at 11:29 PM

Your PC lagging is not the skins problem ^o)

Also, I don't see how the skin can interfere with other skins... Maybe there is another explaination

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Justin on 04-05-2008 at 11:48 PM

Well theres a just a slight delay while maximizing. No biggie.

I don't think there is another explanation. I set my messenger to default and still the problem is there.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Matt-in on 04-06-2008 at 12:06 AM

I have installed this skin and after enabling it, I didnt like it, I wanted to change it. SO I changed it to the original, the actions toolbar disappeared. FIX THIS!!! SOLVE MY PROBLEM...

Press ALT to bring up the menu bar, try to see if any toolbars (particularly standard toolbar) are disabled.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Matt-in on 04-06-2008 at 12:18 AM

They are up there but the thing is I cant see them with icons Pls just make a hotfix of this. I have uninstalled messenger. and reinstalled still same

I am currently using another skin without any problems. If I don't know any obvious cause for this problem and cannot replicate it, there is nothing I can do

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Matt-in on 04-06-2008 at 12:33 AM

Excuse me But I have been uninstalling reinstalling messenger like a couple of hours within also installing 9.0 but still the same. Just do a registry fix or smth likethat. U are the creator of this skin so pls help me like Im desperate lol

Yeah I couldn't remember what menu section it was under and cba to re-start messenger just to find out.

thanks for the thanks

I would consider this a fairly serious bug though however, if it truly is occurring with this skin.

Can't confirm this so if someone could please experiment with this

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Justin on 04-06-2008 at 01:33 AM

Well i just re-enabled the skin and disabled it. No problems with the toolbars then. Maybe just a one time occurrence?

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Th3rmal on 04-06-2008 at 01:40 AM

Nice skin by the look of things, i think many people have been waiting for a minimalistic skin and you made it. Go you!

Creator is my hero.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Basilis on 04-06-2008 at 03:06 PM

Press ALT, then go to Tools and in the second choice select basic or something like that. It worked for me but it is a big bug and has to be corrected.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by MrT on 04-16-2008 at 11:43 AM

where is the nudge button?

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Justin on 04-16-2008 at 11:49 AM

I don't think there is one. Just type /nudge in a conversation.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by MrT on 04-16-2008 at 12:04 PM

mmm. is that a yes?
im not familiar with all the process of organising skins under such and such 'databases'.

RE: [Release] Minimal Messenger by Basilis on 08-08-2008 at 12:54 PM

Yes. Skins that hide the ads are not allowed into the database.

Unless the ad removal options are not generally accessible to public by default
