Thanks,

Haven't asked him anything (I don't even know who he is...). Nor have I downloaded his skin.

Well.. Actually I think it's property of Microsoft, not the author of another skin. Despite that, I would still ask that skin-author if I had his permission to include it into a similar skin.

We need permission to compete? I never knew Pepsi asked Coca-Cola when they release their product...(lol.)
Well I should be emailing him soon...but does he actually have the right to stop me?


Oh, and for Jimbo and other future wanna be 8.5 testers, I think I want to do an 8.1 one first for the sake of me being able to get through a full version faster (I already have a lot of code finished for 8.1.). Plus, it will avoid conflict with ugosan's skin temporarily...

He has no right to stop you from using a public image.

Anyway, I think it is a nice skin. Ugosan had made a mistake you didn't do. His toolbars were awful, but yours are just transparent so the real image appears without being stretched.

From the screenshot it looks like your corners need fixing on the Sign in window.

It looks nice, but whats with the fetish of vista skins?

Anyway, does the background image get stretched if you resize the image?

Yes it does. To me, it stretches pretty well, so it should be okay.

I know of a way, where the background will be static, so when your resize it's just positioned to the right/left/top/bottom of the box

This way it looks better

I have thought of doing it with UMargins, but the problem is that different people  have different preferences over the dimensions of their Messenger. Some prefer very tall and very skinny, some prefer it like a square...the way with just plain stretching is simpler, and less coding for me to do


Oh and never mind about working with 8.1. It's just too different.

Yeah, well if they do like it tall and skinny, then some of the bg gets cut off, thats much better than when you have a huge maximized msn where the bg is stretched

That one is not propertie of microsoft...I also used that one, it's from a pack with 6 walpapers, 3 with and 3 without logo...I don't think you have to ask someone to let you use that Bg since that image is really becoming really common...

Edit: fix your corners plz...I don't know wich one is the login screen border, but it is one of these:
20062
1653
652

Nice skin, by the way! I really want to test it!
