RE: [Release] Phunk'n 2
As Menthix said I should so have a party when I hit 10 Mill overall :P | Willz | Skinning | 05-07-2009 at 01:05 PM |
[Release] Phunk'n 2
Well boys and girls, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. The release of one of my most popular skins so far: Phunk'n. But before I get onto that I'd like to take a second and thank all the people that have supported my work over the y... | Willz | Skinning | 05-07-2009 at 12:51 PM |
BorderArea not working?
Hey was just mucking around with a new skin design and I noticed that creating a new border area doesn't work anymore. All I tried to do was add a Top resize handle, but it didn't work. All I did was grab the code from an earlier shaped skin (Ironm... | Willz | | 05-07-2009 at 02:27 AM |
RE: Welcome Back/Signing in.../etc. Colour
It looks like its hard coded. You can change the base value by replacing a string (can't remember which one). But after that it falls on Messengers selected color. | Willz | Skinning | 05-04-2009 at 01:34 AM |
RE: Replacing image 1831?
My guess is that because it has a 4006 counterpart image that is the reason it can't be replaced. Since the bar has two defined states and by replacing the image you are only defining one it totally screws it up. Since this is no actual code that co... | Willz | Skinning | 05-03-2009 at 03:39 AM |
RE: help im having trouble making a skin
The scary thing is it actually used to be a lot harder before Messenger Plus! added the feature. To be able to skin you need to know how XML works and to some extent basic css. Without that you can't really go anywhere. | Willz | Skinning | 05-02-2009 at 01:56 AM |
[Release] Transformers 2 - Megatron
Well boys and girls this is the last week of the Transformers 2 skins marathon and sadly like all good things it has to come to a close. I figured what better way to do so than with the release of the last skin in the series: Megatron. I am sure peop... | Willz | Skinning | 04-24-2009 at 03:47 PM |
RE: [Q] Are binary themes Accepted ??
I don't think they would be, mainly because DLL skins are installed in a different way to Plus! skins and it will confuse people with both. If you have modified the DLL and use the Messenger Plus! extraction process then it will extract your modifie... | Willz | Skinning | 04-18-2009 at 09:32 AM |
[Release] Transformers 2 - Bumblebee
Well week 3 of April is here, you know what that means! It's time for another skin release! This week you can style your Messenger after the autobot Bumblebee. Bumblebee remains to be a favorite amongst transformers fans and I'm sure people will li... | Willz | Skinning | 04-17-2009 at 02:12 PM |
RE: [Preview 2] Qwertaurian Green
id suggest doing a curve that has a midpoint that is straight for a few pixels, then you can stretch it out better and you wont get the weird jaggyness. The max margin size is 255 so you can have 254px left and right and then have the middle stretch.... | Willz | Skinning | 04-15-2009 at 03:54 AM |
RE: [Preview] Codename "The Favourite - Dark"
Yeah dark skins aren't too easy to work with, especially when some text colors can't be changed. I've been working on a dark skin as well and have had to go with a bit of trickery to get it happening. Thankfully the black to red thing only happen... | Willz | Skinning | 04-11-2009 at 09:41 AM |
RE: [?] Russian characters?
Probably because Messenger doesn't support UTF-16 and it wouldn't make much sense to allow it. | Willz | Skinning | 04-11-2009 at 08:55 AM |
RE: [?] Russian characters?
Its probably because Skininfo files are UTF-8 and for those characters to appear you have to be in UTF-16 which Plus! doesn't recognise as a valid Skininfo file. | Willz | Skinning | 04-11-2009 at 08:45 AM |
[Release] Transformers 2 - Barricade
So last week we saw the release of the first of four Transformers skins that I will be releasing this month. So it being the 2nd week of April and all its time to release the 2nd skin in the Transformers series. The 2nd skin to be released is based o... | Willz | Skinning | 04-10-2009 at 03:34 PM |
RE: [Preview] Codename "The Favourite - Dark"
Yeah the font is the only thing I would say is bad. The design is really nice though. Ive never really liked the dashboard at the bottom, it doesn't really flow the way most windows are where main controls are all at the top. I'd say use a font li... | Willz | Skinning | 04-10-2009 at 12:08 AM |
[Release] Transformers 2 - Optimus Prime
Well boys and girls, I promised a new skin for you early April and so here it is. While technically I could have released this yesterday, I thought it would be better to release it on a day that wasn't about practical jokes. Anyway Transformers 2 wi... | Willz | Skinning | 04-02-2009 at 01:30 PM |
RE: [Release] Oil Slick 1.02
A petition isn't going to force a skinner to do anything. Technically he doesn't have to do anything. Skinning is just a hobby so he has no obligation to do anything. Yes we know people miss the skin, but having more and more people post asking fo... | Willz | Skinning | 04-02-2009 at 12:26 AM |
RE: [HELP] Skin Trace Error
Yeah don't compare line structures when you are looking at my skins. It will only confuse you. With most of my skins I change the element structure to make it work specifically to the skin design I have intended. It won't help you if you are compa... | Willz | Skinning | 03-21-2009 at 11:41 PM |
RE: [Released] Stuart and Jason's 365 Theme
/me facepalms all you have to do is look for the word button or cmdid and that is how you find the buttons in any uifile. Its not rocket surgery :P | Willz | Skinning | 03-20-2009 at 08:44 AM |
RE: [Released] Stuart and Jason's 365 Theme
Those are my thoughts exactly as well. Look not everything comes easy, the only reason I wrote the guides originally was to get people interested in Messenger skins and make more people aware that skins for Messenger do exist. The fact is the conce... | Willz | Skinning | 03-19-2009 at 03:42 AM |
RE: [Released] Stuart and Jason's 365 Theme
lolwut? ^o) If what you said is true then nobody would have a skin out. I really don't see how it could be that hard, I know that I can't really say how hard skinning is because of my experience, but the fact that other people have managed to do i... | Willz | Skinning | 03-18-2009 at 12:25 PM |
RE: Required Assistance for Top Banner
640x320 were the dimensions in the beta version, but from memory the final build also has some that are 640x220. So yeah that is the reason why your image is being cropped. Its just far too big. I wouldn't recommend making a skin just to replace the... | Willz | Skin Requests | 03-04-2009 at 12:33 AM |
RE: [Release] LTD
That isn't technically possible moving the dp to the middle. You would crash Messenger with that. It just doesn't work on so many levels that its not funny. I think the design is fine the way it is so I have no intention of changing it. The only p... | Willz | Skinning | 03-02-2009 at 08:36 AM |
RE: [Release] LTD
It partially is, but you can't really do anything. All you can do is set one image to stretch, or to tile repeatedly. The border that the tabs have will still be laid on top like normal and you can't skin the buttons themselves. I tried adding a b... | Willz | Skinning | 02-23-2009 at 07:03 AM |
RE: [Release] LTD
I just sent v1.0.1 to Menthix, this version fixes an issue with the modern chat window layout and hiding dp's. It also fixes the bug with hiding the contact search bar buttons and classic emoticon button icons not appearing. Should hopefully be up l... | Willz | Skinning | 02-23-2009 at 12:04 AM |
