Hi all, that's my topic for the 1st skin (that I created) for WLM 9.0
The theme of this skin (as title -.-'') is "dedicated" to the latest Microsoft's O.S., Windows 7; is very simple but nice.
Options are avaible in Italian and English, there are many types of wallpapers ^^

Sooooooo, this is the screenshot of v1.0:

This is your first skin...great effort and looks good. Can't expect much from a beginner.

The first skin for WLM 9.0 that I created, I created more skins for 8.5 in my forum (about 600 ^^)

I was talking about the skin, not me xD Already I know these things ^^

If you've created over 600 skins then I hardly think you need any advice

You obviously have no trouble coming up with original ideas!

Looks nice so far just one question could you take the scene out from the message window also like you did on the contactlist?

The alerts don't appear to have a definable edge to them, which to me doesn't look very good. other than that, though, pretty good from what I can see of the screenshot

Update:
- Added Logon Button
- Improved the toast

For beginners a good working one

Mhm... La skin ha dei problemi, cambia solo lo sfondo della lista contatti sulla 9.0, sulla 8.5 non ho provato

Man, this skin -> http://www.msgpluslive.com/skins/view/154-Windows-7/ isn't mine, the "creator" is Alberto46, I'M Ryddyck not Alberto46, after this, if you saw I posted the various updates only in this topic, I didn't post my skin on the msg plus database.
Sooo... now the answer to "creator", If you open the "skin" of Alberto46 you see that is the same of my skin (Windows 7 v.0.3 in the first post), in the both there is an error, the file 21016, so in the past I forgot to delete that string...
Others "creators" are: Bloodfrozen -> http://www.msgpluslive.it/skins/view/144-Twilight/
Leus, Valeria-Elfo of msghelp.it

You can see that is my skin from the Login Button, the Skininfo and others images inside the Skin

I thought to ask menthiX but the skin aren't the same, so are the same but in those skins there are added only folders (Definition - Styles - Image), Should I close their website? (see the link of twilight skin posted in the latest post)
Well... there will not be a clone of my skin in the database, but there will be on the net (If you are italian there are 3-4 websites talk about WLM)

i have downloaded the 0.5 version from your links above it looks awesome, i assumed that the skin in the database was your as this thread has the same name as the skin in the database and usually that means the 2 things relate to one another.

ok as for comments, you could add some additional options for button removal etc but other than that a great skin.

my biggest question is how do you get 1 single image to take up the whole height of the messenger there like several different images atleast 2 to make up the contact list then the me area is a seperate UIFILE and so is the tab / ad area if i could figure that one out id be much closer to working out how to fix 365 for working with WLM 2009

If I remember correctly I modified every layoutpos=top/bottom (or other) with layoutpos=none and I restarted everytime for see the changes.. for this you must try to change layoutpos in none in

code:

---

<Constrainer layoutpos=top ID=atom(SSConstrainer) Layout=FillLayout()>

ok thanks for that.

  The prevents people from installing the skin on a Messenger version which it was not designed for.
  
• Skins hosted on msgpluslive.net are not allowed to hide the banner on the contacts list and the text ad at the bottom of the conversation windows. Your skin seems to hide the contactlist banner, if you want your skin hosted on the Plus! site you'll need to show the banner. It may not be an setting in the skin's options either.

• scratch messenger, by BloodFrozen
  
• Twilight, by BloodFrozen

• Pimpi skin
  
• Pucca 9.0

Ok Menthix, so thank you very much!
Well, I will send you the skin soon, I added the strings in SkinInfo, I'm sorry for the problem of ads, I use a string into the hosts file that hide the ads but now I added the option to remove the banner of Contact List

I sent an e-mail to Menthix,  Version 0.6 is coming soon on Msg Plus!Live Database... ^^
I added a new screenshot in the first post, look it!

Little up for Menthix.. I think he is dead...

The last mail I got from you was from the 19th.

I said "I noticed your skin hides the contactlist banner. This is not allowed for skins on our site. ..."[i] and you replied [i]"Sorry for the trouble, ... I update the screenshot and the download".

Since then I haven't seen mail from you. If you send me a version that doesn't make it possible to hide any of the ads I will add it to the site asap.

Menthix you've a PM
So, in the same mail I sent there were the new link and the new screenshot
