Versions:
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 14.0.0206
Messenger Plus! Live 4.80.0.356
Skin: Wave 3 Toast 1.0.0

ALSO there is a skin compatible BUT doesnt work on new released version of messenger version was relesed yesterday source: http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2009/02/12/w...ade-available.aspx

The skins need to be updated to be compatible with that version of Windows Live Messenger.

The author just need to add few lines to make it compatible, wait for an update

He added update 5 days ago no compatibility ALSO there is a skin compatible BUT doesnt work on new released version of messenger version was relesed yesterday source: http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2009/02/12/w...ade-available.aspx

Not necessarily. Small changes like this one are suppsoed to be transparent for most skins.

But MenthiX told us to use the "Build" number in our skins...
So, whoever added the "Build" number will now need to update every block of resources that contains it. =P
(btw, Guèna released and update to his skin already, and so have I. Willz's were already prepared for that, I guess, so Ev0 still works.)

Using a Build restriction in your Messenger 9 skins was mainly because of the never ending betas of this new Messenger. Now that the final release is out, you can work normally and just stick to Major/Minor for most cases as build changes aren't supposed to affect the windows in a way that would break a skin.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm so what is causing every skin I install doesnt work?

The "build" string =P
Just wait skins to be updated or do it by yourself. (opening Skins folders, finding the SkinInfo.xml, and remove Build/Revision restrictions...)
[Oh, and what version of it are you using? I'm with this new build and everything's fine...]
