Ok well i have decided to make my own skin for Messenger Plus! Live (well markee and me) and there are 2 reason why im posting it here:

• i. we want to know opinions on the skin design
  B) let people know we are working on a whole new look for MP!L
  • to start people on the track for making skins so it just isnt the default (boring! )
  2... to remind me that im working on this seeing as Eljay (or Elgay) hasnt made the reminder script () (WORK ON IT NOW!!!!11!!ONEonE!)

this image was only done in paint because i was wanting it to look a new type of image (web 0.2.0) but will be made better later when i get time (after completing some scripts / tutorials / other random stuff / playing games / you dont care any more / becoming a beta tester / slapping patchou / spamming ( ) / etc...)...

How about this for an idea.  If you really don't like the design then can we have a design by you.  Remember it has to be possible with MP!L windows so you can only use rectangles for the main window frame and the child windows (for the tabs and the main options areas).  The design that NanaFreak and I decide to be the best by the time we are ready to make the skin will be the one that is made.  Do you like that for an idea?

please post your ideas and i will choose the best few and make them =D

* Felu slaps NanaFreak around a bit with a large trout.

ew.

Original design > *

That design looks really crap because NanaFreak wanted to do it in Paint rather than PaintShop Pro like I wanted him too

What I did on paper looks a who lot better.  Atm, you just have to look at it a a basic structure that will be worked upon I guess.  I just wish NanaFreak would have taken things a little ore seriously with the preview design though.  I am also going to help NanaFreak out with finishing up a few of his current projects so we can work on this as soon as possible (I'm sure it is going to take a lot of work).

Please don't be so premature with saying how you feel about it and try to be more constructive.  Also the colours aren't going to be so harsh, they were just the basic ones in paint thats all.

I like the idea off making a skin... but posting that paint image was just pointless...

Make him do it in that, or do yourself and upload..
the paint preview really sucks

I'm just thinking... MemSkin can patch any program when you just change the file location in More Options. So, you could create a MemSkin for Plus!

It doesn't quite work that way for Plus!.

Plus! skins don't work the same as skins like in Messenger.

Either way, it would be useless to use a program like MemSkin to do exactly the same as if you would do it directly within Plus! and its interface files. No need for MemSkin at all...

Memskin is only usefull when a program like Messenger does not provide a skinning engine or isn't made with skinning in mind.

Skins sounds good although if it looks like that screenshot i doubt anyone will download it
