Many things have been updated/added, there are now 15 options to customize Messenger, It looks better than 0.5 did

Looks nice, but 8.5, or 9.0?

.

Ad removed in the screenie. That's not allowed (That's just your screen )
Secondly, not much customisations so far, eh? I couldn't notice much
May be a list of what you've done would be good

In the import skin window, the text should be (imo) something like
"A Messenger Plus! Live 4.0 based skin I made simply to fit in more with Plus! as the current WLM 8.5 style doesn't do that. Enjoy"

That's removed/hidden in the final ver.
Gah, corrected abit.

Quite a blatant ad removal option in the options panel. Any one who's as nosy as me would find it
I believe that's allowed though

Duck, out of interest, did you remove the tabs by editing the UIfiles? Or changed messengers option...

Messengers Option

hmm I dont think you should be able to remove the ads that easy... should make a .reg file or something in the install dir that people can click to remove them... so its a bit of trouble =p

and nice looking skin... few things to fix up (convo window, where all the smilies/winks/etc sit)

Any forcing or graphical option of removing the ads is not allowed.

You shall be shunned!
