RE: Windows 7 Skin
i have downloaded the 0.5 version from your links above it looks awesome, i assumed that the skin in the database was your as this thread has the same name as the skin in the database and usually that means the 2 things relate to one another.

ok as for comments, you could add some additional options for button removal etc but other than that a great skin.

my biggest question is how do you get 1 single image to take up the whole height of the messenger there like several different images atleast 2 to make up the contact list then the me area is a seperate UIFILE and so is the tab / ad area if i could figure that one out id be much closer to working out how to fix 365 for working with WLM 2009

If I remember correctly I modified every layoutpos=top/bottom (or other) with layoutpos=none and I restarted everytime for see the changes.. for this you must try to change layoutpos in none in
code:
<Constrainer layoutpos=top ID=atom(SSConstrainer) Layout=FillLayout()>
So for problems, see the 923 definition of my Skin ^^

Sooo... now the answer to "creator", If you open the "skin" of Alberto46 you see that is the same of my skin (Windows 7 v.0.3 in the first post), in the both there is an error, the file 21016, so in the past I forgot to delete that string...
Others "creators" are: Bloodfrozen -> http://www.msgpluslive.it/skins/view/144-Twilight/
Leus, Valeria-Elfo of msghelp.it

You can see that is my skin from the Login Button, the Skininfo and others images inside the Skin
Hey,

I Have deleted Alberto46's rip. I would be happy to add the Windows skin to the site under your own name. You'll need to change two little things before I can accept it on the site though:
  • In Skininfo.xml, add the following between the <Information> and </Information> tags:
    xml code:
              <Compatibility>
                    <MsgVersion Major="14" Minor="0"/>
              </Compatibility>
    The prevents people from installing the skin on a Messenger version which it was not designed for.
  • Skins hosted on msgpluslive.net are not allowed to hide the banner on the contacts list and the text ad at the bottom of the conversation windows. Your skin seems to hide the contactlist banner, if you want your skin hosted on the Plus! site you'll need to show the banner. It may not be an setting in the skin's options either.
When you made those changes please send me a mail at skins@msgpluslive.net, including the skin, screenshot, and a description, and I will add it.


I've also deleted some skins that were ripped from your work:
  • Avenged-sevenfold, by Toksick
  • scratch messenger, by BloodFrozen
  • Twilight, by BloodFrozen

If you are OK with it I'll keep Valeria's skins. They do seem to be partly based on your skin (or on the tuttomsn.it tutorial which is based on your skin too), but she seems to have put in more effort to be creative and added a lot more than the others.
Finish the problem

Ok Menthix, so thank you very much!
Well, I will send you the skin soon, I added the strings in SkinInfo, I'm sorry for the problem of ads, I use a string into the hosts file that hide the ads but now I added the option to remove the banner of Contact List
