Great! ;) It's very nice! :D

RE: [Preview] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by robert_dll on 03-28-2009 at 04:06 PM

Looks nice, but would be better if you achieve to restore the old toolbar where you could find all the buttons :P

Not bad not bad...

RE: [Preview] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Shiny Rabbit on 03-29-2009 at 10:10 PM

that looks quite nice, maybe I could reccomend it to those people who keep bitching about the layout in WLM14

RE: [Preview] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Quantum on 03-29-2009 at 10:13 PM

Looks great! I've always wanted that :P

Can the DP area not move ot the right?

This looks cool, can't wait to get my hands on it! :D

RE: [Preview] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Matti on 03-30-2009 at 03:54 PM

That looks pretty cool indeed! :D
Polish your background images a bit and make the search bar readable and then I think you got yourself a great skin! ;)

Btw, how did you replace the titlebar and activity bar backgrounds?

WindowBarBG in the style 923, but you need to replace more than that to avoid scenes to change it.

Thanks =)
But in fact, for me it won't matter that much yet... only that "hey-i'm-here"-blue doesn't fit a dark themed skin =P

:D awesome! I'm looking forward to this!

RE: [Preview] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Menthix on 04-02-2009 at 05:12 PM

Nice, giving people no excuse to not upgrade :).

Needs an option for the original WLM 8.5 status icons, and DPs on the right.
The toolbar buttons and the header gradient probably still need a bit of tweaking too.

For reference:
WLM 8.5 contacts list
WLM 8.5 conversation window

o.O why are the busy and away status icons coloured, they used to be just green with a small clock (away) or red sign thingy (busy)

the thing is that i had problem with it on the contact list..the busy and away doesn't look too good...so i had to do something else instead.

ill figure out something later on. if i can.

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by James Potter on 04-08-2009 at 02:57 PM

:|! Bobo (CoolZee!), this is close to how WLM8.5 looks like, but what I do really suggest is using WLM8.5's original resources. In addition, try to make it look as accurately close to the actual WLM as possible, because as it is now, it does NOT look exactly like WLM8.5. As for the dashboard, I have been informed that a 'skin' was made back when WLM9.0 was first released to restore the Dashboard of 8.5, might you use that for restoring that dashboard, please?--as your current method is not the way WLM8.5 did it. :P

Thanks, I'm using the original resources. As for the dashboard, no knowledge for that. :P Which skin? i don't know. This pretty good for me. :P

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Skywolfe on 06-07-2009 at 03:19 AM

will this enable you to choose your own backgrounds for the whole conversation window?

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Toxn on 06-07-2009 at 01:44 PM

prob not ur own. only the ones WLM8 had unless the creator puts in more backgrounds.

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Skywolfe on 06-11-2009 at 03:32 AM

hmm that is what I wondered. because that is one of the features 9.0 took away that the others had :P

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Toxn on 06-11-2009 at 05:23 PM

you could try to find a way to go back to 8.5 if u want it so badly lol

At least he can get the features he wants for a while. or he could wait for WLM10. See if Microsoft will put the feature back.

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Gasszi on 07-25-2009 at 05:08 PM

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by davidpolitis on 07-26-2009 at 03:05 PM

I doubt you'll be seeing a release anytime soon as I barely ever see him online these days.

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Gasszi on 07-29-2009 at 10:07 PM

i will to install the new WLM, if this skin has been released

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Jstnfox on 07-30-2009 at 11:31 AM

Very Cool skin, it would be good if you could have an option to remove the Personal messages in the contact list. it makes it look cluttered. but overall very cool skin. ;)

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by SeaD on 08-02-2009 at 07:52 AM

i think coolzee is focused on snow leopard right now.
like he said before. he is busy and he lost interest in the skin.

you could use WLM8 till Microsoft completely shove upgrading down ur throat
RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by iKingsten on 09-03-2009 at 12:39 AM

haha i'm already using WLM9 and waiting for snow leopard. but this skin looks good too. :) so i just wanted to know, even though snow leopard is still more important to me

RE: [Preview 3] WLM 8.5 Clone - Created by coolzee by Izanami on 09-15-2009 at 02:01 PM
