Black Windows Live Messenger 2011 by eltselfer on 03-09-2011 at 06:16 PM

This is a Mashup of the following Skins


[Image: 2vw8k10.jpg]


1. Fuse
2. Twilight Multi
3. MyTF2

Credit goes to all the people that made this. i have just modified the TF2 theme with bits and pieces form all of them.

All you have to do is replace the TF2 Folder i made with the original & you'll get the theme you see in the screenshot.

Hope you guys like it :)

Looks good, clean.

Do the original authors know that you've used (parts) of their skins? :P
You gave credit where it's due as far as I can see, I think they might want to know about it though, if they're still around on the scene. :)

Here's The Folder :

It would be awesome if any of you guys could make this into a  SKIN file so everyone could download this at the skin page :)

Enjoy!

BTW, you can package your own skins and submit them yourself directly at our msgplus website. We also have a full page about how to submit a skin you might wanna check it out on your own instead of depending on someone else to do it ;)

That is assuming the original authors don't mind their work being used in such a manor.

I downloaded your folder to check it out, i see that you just replaced the images inside the skin with your own as well as a mix of other UI images from the other 2 skins you mention on your first post. I would suggest optimizing a bit your images since it seems a bit «heavy» (close to 9 MB) for a skin file....

With that said:
I really don't have a problem with you doing this, if it helps users create skins and grow our skins database within the Plus! Universe then so be it.

I don't mind that the Options and About UI windows didn't change much, but they seem kind of incomplete now that have taken out some of the visual elements i had used for them, therefore i don't agree with the fact that you left inside the URLs pointing to my website and stuff, event though your MOD might've been based upon one of my skins it is definately not me that created it and wouldn't want people to get the impression that i published such skin.

Of course i'd appreciate an honorable mention somewhere inside your About window if that is the case...


Thanx still!!  for your interest in Plus! skins and hopefully you can start posting your own skins within our skins database pretty soon :)

hehe .. actually .. i am like dumb when it coms to programming n stuff ... i tried editing the about page n stuff .. but what happened was .. it din display any image .. jus went blank .. n i had to reinstall the skin again , n replace the images again , so i left it as it was since this isnt an official release right?  so i kept t like that ..

annd i knw there is a scripting page, but i am writing my finals right now so i dont have time to do all of that.

and since this isnt my work, ill have to do a lot of work on the skin to make it publish'able hehe .. thats why i kept it open for any1 whu knows how to do it, to do it , i dont want any credit for this , i just want to use the skin , and if other like it , they can use it :) thats all :)

but dude!! can u try to change the startup thing that comes on msn before it starts? that would be really kool!! :D
