RE: transparant skin
these kind of skins are not possible to make due to how Messenger works. The only thing you can use is the opacity feature that Messenger Plus! has, anything beyond that is not possible at the moment.

RE: ZOMG! Over 10 Million!
Hah thanks guys. One of the things I was working on early on in September was figuring out how to compress Messengers layout even further than before (moreso than the Fuse skin) I did get somewhere with the contact list, but yeah it was more experime...

ZOMG! Over 10 Million!
So as of 3:09PM today (GMT+10 Time) I have broken the 10 Million mark in skin downloads (all my skins combined not just one). Pretty crazy, skinners were lucky to even get 100,000 3 years ago. It just shows how far we have come thanks to Patchou. But...

RE: Australian prices of windows7? (thread 2)
I totally agree with that. Even the upgrade editions are pretty expensive. I mean $40 between ultimate upgrade and ultimate retail is a bit of a disappointment. For the extra money I pay for Ultimate I could buy myself some more RAM or something. Bu...

RE: [Fixed] 208.png
It's not a bug, those resources work differently then how they did in 8.5. All animation resources use metadata and/or rle layers to tell messenger how to display them. In Messenger 8.5 these images were predefined and so when you replace them it di...

RE: Australian prices of windows7?
At the very least I would have thought they would have put into place the preorder discount like they did in the US. The prices aren't too far off vistas, but yeah they are really inflated when compared to the rest of the world. I have vista ultimat...

RE: [Preview] Life of Vista 3
I have a quite few ideas in mind for that sort of thing. The hardest thing is to fake the glass effect without actually using transparency. Course I have something new in mind for that but yeah :P, Course I'm not entirely sure when I will start wit...

RE: Animated Skins
No you can not use animations such as a dreamscene in a skin (the concept itself is just technically impossible on so many levels). That's just how it is. For starters Messenger was never meant to be skinned in the first place. We forcefully do it a...

RE: Can someone please make an apple skin for WLM 2009?
as long as they start from scratch its not stealing. But making an apple skin as detailed as apple live takes a lot of time and effort (and skill). A lot more than what most people want to put in. So I doubt you will be seeing it happen anytime soon ...

RE: The Messenger Plus! 2009 Contest
It barely been a year since the last skinning contest. Plus it would be kind of one sided. There aren't that many skinners out there so chances are it would just be the same people who end up winning again.

RE: Can someone please make an apple skin for WLM 2009?
mynetx has been in the process of updating that skin for a pretty long time now. If I remember correctly he stopped working on it completely because he had other projects which were more important than it (correct me if I am wrong mynetx). It's been...

RE: The Messenger Plus! 2009 Contest
meh I've kinda given up. The only thing that I wanted from the store was a Samus Aran statue thing, but since that was just a limited item and isn't available anymore there isn't really anything else there that pushes me to keep trying :P

RE: The Messenger Plus! 2009 Contest

RE: question on skins
That's really up to the skin maker to do. Unfortunately you can't really force them to do it :P Ultimately its up to them. If they do it then hey you're in luck, if they don't well that's just how it is.

RE: Chinese (?!) symbol in "What I'm listening"
yeah emoticons are a gray area. Simply because emoticons are represented by strings (rather than just an image) which Messenger then loads an appropriate image for to replace the string. I think that is why they work.

RE: Chinese (?!) symbol in "What I'm listening"
You can't apply the glow behavior to an element which has an image or a child that has an image. The glow behavior only works on text elements and so Messenger will get confused on what it is meant to display if it is used on anything else.

RE: Cant apply skins for WLM 2009 running 32bit windows vista
ok well that last thing that could be causing a clash would be if you have something like mess patch or apatch applied since that can cause issues. Also to make sure you have the latest version of Messenger Plus! Live, since some skins do need it to ...

RE: Cant apply skins for WLM 2009 running 32bit windows vista
hey, um question. The skins you have been trying to apply, are they built for Messenger 2009? Because yeah a skin will only be applied if it is built for the version of Messenger you have. On the download page of any skin it says what version its for...

[Release] G.I. Joe

There is a quick an easy way to replace all the fonts in messenger. This of course is only if you want the same font for every single part of Messenger. The font messenger uses is actually defined by a bit of text you can replace so that every part o...
