i like it, very simplistic, and looks smooth and really nice good job, only thing judged from the screenshot is that you cannot see the area that you type in, but that's not such a big deal, good skin though!

Yet I love Wii...i think it's TOO WHITE (talking about Wii, not the skin!). So is your skin! =)
well...I can say you got the spirit of Wii at your skin, although need some graphics job there!
(you know...I'm not the one who likes simple things...)

Keep going on!
I can't wait till your next release =D

The Wii condom?

Nice skin, you must pester me to post about this

Thanks everyone for your positive replies. I just didn't want to make a thank you post after everyone's reply.

Yes I agree for some of the Vista stuff to be Wii-ed a bit. But the buddies are staying, seeing that many people like it (and I do too).

Yeah I'll work on that. Seeing that I'm like the worst photoshopper ever, I doubt it would look better...

Kind of hard seeing that: 1) I can't script; 2) I don't have a Wii, and ; 3) I don't have bluetooth on my computer.

I'm sure 10 out of 10 times you won't miss it (And it adds to the minimalism)

hmm...irony?

And I'll see if I feel like making it like a Wii-Mote. Pretty challenging too, seeing that I'll need to find some good shot and to get the stretch to not look ugly.

Make a vector image in Flash to allow resizing big enough so it doesn't look crappy, but when people resize the image, they can stretch it anyway they want anyway, even sideways

No...not irony...but indecision...
The same day I can like white, than hate white, than thyink white is normal...or not...just my deviants.

Oh! A wiimote design would be a dream! (i'd even forget it's too white! )
Why don't you make shaped windows, in the shape of a wiimote? just need to get a good quality wiimote pic on google and do a mask with it.

I could...but wouldn't the window be a bit thin?

don't use fixed proportions of course...or we wouldn't even be able to see our buddys

Great looking skin! It would be even cooler if you go further and try to shape Messenger more like a WiiMote or change the button backgrounds to the big shiny buttons in the Wii menus etc. Try to add something special to your skin, I think it'll make it much better!

The irony is that about a week ago, I photoshopped a similar concept for a "Wiissenger" skin. I haven't started yet, and I don't think I will now you released this skin, which looks lots better than my mockup. I don't think it's good for me that I try to compete with you for my first WLM skin.
