Nice job, but is there any way to make search bar area transparent like you've done on menubar in '8.5 style dashboard'.

and do simlair thing for the 9.0 dashboard? Also, On 9.0 dashboard, is there a way for you to lengthen the area for the name? Currently my name will be truncated even though there's loads of space next to it. (if you need SS/more detail ask ;o)

Nah I can't do it because the search bar isn't its own element that I can move around in 923 like the mail buttons etc. Its part of the 1001 container which contains the entire contact list.

If I try to do the same dashboard effect for this it will just stretch the scene from top to bottom and that will just look dodgy since a scene is only 640x320.

As for the more characters thing in the 9 dashboard, what defines that is that amount of buttons you have on the right of it. Since the layout goes DP | Name | Buttons. The dp and buttons area are constrained to their original sizes whilst the name area is stretched to whatever area is left. If the word doesn't fit it will wrap the text automatically.

So yeah you can't really extend how long is properly since its automatically done. The only thing you can do is hide more buttons or remove a bit of padding or even make the buttons themselves a bit smaller. Either that or remove word wrapping (not actually sure if that is even a property anymore). Its not really an easy issue to overcome.

Ah I see, thanks for the info <3

This is the best 9.0 skin by at least 3 miles

I have some problems with it and I'm not the only one (spanish forum users also), when I try to open a conversation window Messenger crashes, I thought I was the only one, but is I told before, other spanish users are experiencing the same issue, can you check it? I'm using the latest WLM and Plus! betas, no more thing installed

'nother question ;p

In the conversation window, would it be possible to make the standard toolbar transparent? And like expand the part underneath so it shows through sorta thing, cause the colouring of that bar is lame, works well with the default theme but the messenger team obviously didn't think people would want seamless graphics.

I actually did play around with that for a bit during early Sopair versions, I had it partially going, but for some reason the scene wouldn't extend properly so I sorta gave up on it. It could possibly be done, but there was just too much mucking around and I wasn't gonna pull my hair out over it. Not for a beta

As for the random chat window crash. I think I have isolated the problem. I've sent build 2.0.1 to Menthix, but ya know its up to him if and when he puts it up

For those not getting the crash, don't bother updating to 2.0.1 since that is all 2.0.1 fixes.

Yeah thought that might be a problem, if it's still ugly in final release have another go please <3

2.0.1 is out for those having crash issues with the chat window please update to this build. For those that don't well you don't have to but you can if you want

Great skin.
What about the little dots I reported in the Sopair 1 topic? Is there a possibility to include an option to remove them in the next Sopair release?

There won't be another Sopair release unless a new build of Messenger is released. At the moment Sopair is at the bottom of my to-do list. The skin was only meant to be a bit of practice for me to get used to how things are in 9 and to give people something to use whilst 9 is being finalized.

The only reason I made 2.0.1 was to fix the nasty crash some people were getting otherwise I would have left it at that. Any ideas from this point onwards won't be done until Messenger final which is when I can take skins for 9 a bit more seriously.
