Skin Title: Old School Messenger
Current Version: 1.2
Description: Don't like the new Vista Aspect of WLM 8.5/9??? Downgrade its look to a previous MSNM/WLM version!!!
Author: warmth (Special Thanks To Willz)
Idea/Requested by: aNILEator and RebelSean
Compatible with: WLM 8.5 / SP 3.5
Download: here or here

IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER VERSION INSTALLED, PLEASE UNINSTALL IT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION
(TO PREVENT LEFTOVERS FROM THE OLD)

MSNM/WLM look versions available inside the skin:
1. 8.0.0812/8.1.0178

Skin options:
1. Translucent Dashboard [Screenshot] (As a request of roytam1)

Future ideas:
1. Makeover of the current version
2. Bring the option of WLM 8.0.0566 Beta skin (with this second skin I will do a MP!L skin option to you select with of the skins of Old School Messenger do you wanna use)
3. Give compatibility with WLM 9
4. Try to get involved with MSNM versions like 7.5

Known limitations:
1. If you select in convo's menu to show up menu bar... there isn't way to go back cause WLM developer team took off that option from WLM 8.5 (if someone knows how to fix this without leave the menu button when you show up menu bar please PM me)
2. I can set the min size of convo's send and search buttons but it doesn't constrain. So if you resize the text box you will see the search button dissapear.
3. Moving infobar makes WLM to crash. I did a trick to duplicate it, but the WLM infobar didn't moved, just the new MP!L feature of display events in infobar got moved.

Known bugs/graphic issues:
1. Inktotext buttons Background is white and don't get colorized.
2. Because the input box size bug if you collapse to much the box the search bottun dissapear.
3. Toasts are in its beginning stage.
4. The other windows haven't been touched yet.

If you need someone to test it out and give you some feed back ill be happy to help mate

Hmm, the skin does not respect messenger settings. I have set my tabs to be on the right, but with this skin, it's always on the left. ads are also showing up (as in forced show).

Nice but i wanna see someone make something better than ev0 3 .
