Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 12-06-2004 at 11:06 PM

Well...I'm hosting a whole bunch of skins for the latest MSN Messenger Beta build (7.0.0425) :), and thought I would share them with people. They're in .rar format, so all you have to do is extract them to the MSN Messenger directory (Generally C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger for most English versions of Windows) and that's MSN skinned. I would suggest using WinRAR to extract them which can be found at http://www.rarlabs.com. Simply click the skin name to download the skin.

1st Note: I have not included any .dll files in the .rar archives, so anyone can use these skins and keep MSN the same language as they have it just now.

2nd Note: If any of the creators of the skins do not want me to host the updated files, I will take them down, simply e-mail me on andrew@jaymach.com and it will be done :)

3rd Note: Some of the skins will have French tabs instead of the default ones. To solve this problem, simply download the MessPatch which can be found here.

4th Note: For anyone wanting Polygamy (although most of the skins already have it installed), simply download the MessPatch also, which as I said can be found here.

Not yet I'm afraid, though Rolando is working hard to update all his skins so you can expect it quite soon most probably. :)

Sorry about there being so few skins, I do know of a few more which I may update myself from older Beta versions of MSN, but I can't promise anything.
RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by bmtaylor on 12-07-2004 at 06:09 PM

Any chance of any other F1 skins (McLaren or Williams would be good)?


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by aNILEator on 12-07-2004 at 06:31 PM

bummer... I was looking forward to having that skin for my messenger.  Do you know if it will be updated when the final version of msn messenger 7.0 is released?

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 12-11-2004 at 05:38 PM

Updated the 1st post to include MSN Crystal, and MSN Merry Christmas. Note please that MSN Crystal is NOT EvilSeph's creation.

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 12-20-2004 at 08:07 AM

It's possible that the creator of that skin has disabled winks. I've never bothered looking myself. I beleive you would have to edit some Hex values to get them active again though.

Oh and updated the post to include XIX MSN, though I don't have a preview yet.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by EeEk! on 12-21-2004 at 01:28 AM

I've installed the WMP Skin. It's really cool :D Download It :D The conv. window ROXXXXX! also :D


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by J.J on 12-21-2004 at 02:16 AM

Im waiting for the longhorn skin or the futuristic :D


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 12-23-2004 at 10:54 AM

Updated the post to include MSN Smiley's. I could add an unofficial version of Futuristic MSN, but I won't out of respect to Rolando.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Caboose on 12-23-2004 at 10:25 PM

I have the ChaNinja MSN skin for 6.2, but the one for 7.0 is pretty bad. The Mess Patch doesn't even work with the skin :(

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-02-2005 at 10:07 PM

Updated the first post to include Futuristic MSN and Pink MSN. I would also include Fire MSN, Green Skin, and Multicolour MSN, but their installers don't work for me for some odd reason so I can't.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by *~Sweetbaby~* on 01-02-2005 at 11:23 PM

Winks are working fine now ... also buzz' works OK in Pink Skin now :D:D:D:D

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-06-2005 at 09:26 AM

Updated again to include AMD 64-bit MSN, Greenskin MSN, and MSN Foot. Also updated so that the Preview for MSN Mario Sunshine works, and added a Preview for XIX MSN.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Flames on 01-07-2005 at 02:54 AM

how can you install the skin? i downlaoded the rar file and it has a lvlbak picture file and msngr.exe... i clicked on the msngr.exe but it just opened my msn messenger window? how does it work? do i have to re-install messenger?


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Caboose on 01-07-2005 at 03:41 AM

In reply to Flames:

You need to extract the 'msnmsgr.exe' file (and lvback.gif if you want a background image in your convo window) into your C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger directory (just make sure you back up your original msnmsgr.exe first ;))


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Flames on 01-07-2005 at 03:57 AM

thx alot caboose, it works! :P


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Caboose on 01-07-2005 at 04:01 AM

No problem, enjoy your new skin :)


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-07-2005 at 09:39 AM

Just though I'd point it out for everyone else that I do actually state quite clearly in my 1st post exactly what to do in pretty much any eventuality, including putting the actual skin on....but oh well.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Chop on 01-07-2005 at 11:19 AM

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-09-2005 at 11:37 AM

Added the MSN 8 Beta Skin to the list, though the screenshot isn't exact. And please do not take the link down as it's only a skin, not the actual thing, and the link has been taken off of too many sites as it is.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Chajukin on 01-10-2005 at 04:36 AM

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-10-2005 at 03:49 PM

As I've already said. READ THE FIRST POST. It explains how to do EVERYTHING that you need to do. Oh and updated the post so that the screenshot for the MSN 8 Beta Skin is exactly how it looks.

EDIT: Now added OSXMSN to the skin list. Enjoy.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by sharky on 01-11-2005 at 06:47 PM

yeahh i'm waiting for Aqua Skin too =D


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-17-2005 at 02:51 PM

Added Mac:MSN, MSN Need For Speed v2, and The Incredibles MSN...if anyone wants to install The Incredibles MSN and take screenshots of it, it would be appreciated.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by aNILEator on 01-18-2005 at 04:40 PM

Hey Jaymach...

when you add new skins could you add *New* before or after the post

either this or set up an RSS feed blog somewhere that would be cool, this way i can be kept updated on new skins and download them to test them or themeMSN etc :)


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Flames on 01-19-2005 at 02:10 AM

is there an msn 7 aqua skin? omg that will be the best skin ever!


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by John Anderton on 01-19-2005 at 07:03 AM

I didnt like the ferrari one but i like the wmp one. Which other skin is good ?? I read about a playboy skin 4 msn 6. Has the msn 7 equivalen come out yet :drool:(With out too many naked women i hope. Family pc :()


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-20-2005 at 08:28 PM

Added Greenday MSN to the skins list...oh and Flames: MSN:Mac is the closest you're going to get to an Aqua skin just now.

EDIT: Spelling


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by aNILEator on 01-21-2005 at 04:46 PM

i fail to see the difference between OSXMSN and MAC:MSN I thought OSXMSN was a beta/pre-release of MAC:MSN

Can anyone enlighten me:P


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-22-2005 at 01:34 AM

You're correct...OSXMSN was the beta release...I just haven't gotten round to taking the file down. :)

EDIT: Added Pink & Kitty MSN to the list.

EDIT2: Added Sakura Messenger to the list now.

EDIT3: Heh, getting a lot more skins now. Added GwadMSN to the list.

EDIT4: Taken OSXMSN off the lsit finally, seeing as it's just a downgraded version of Mac:MSN, and added MSN DBZ to the list.

EDIT5: Argh! Someone else post so I don't have to continually update this post! Anyway, added Longhorn MSN to the list.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by J.J on 01-29-2005 at 01:57 AM

I was wondering guys, what do ya'll think about the longhorn skin...I think its great, but I would love to have the inspirat contact windows with the areo contact list, they wud look good together, personally im not a fan or the inspirat contact list :P


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by ayjay on 01-30-2005 at 09:24 AM

Just to let you know (not sure whether it's the skin or msn, although it was ok before I installed the skin) I have the longhorn inspirat skin and when i move my mouse over a contact, the custom colours disappear till I close and open the contact list again :)


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Real Pingo on 01-30-2005 at 09:51 AM

Cool! The Penguin is best [Image: xso_grin.gif] :banana:


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by aNILEator on 01-30-2005 at 10:37 AM

yeah most skins do this for some reason :(


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by manDa on 01-30-2005 at 05:37 PM

i like the longhorn skin~~it was black or white~


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 01-31-2005 at 03:57 PM

Finally some people post in here so I don't have to edit that post anymore :P Anyway, added more skins. Betty Boop MSN, MSN Asterix, MSN Final Fantasy Mix, MSN Saint Seiya, and Zelda Ocarina Of Time MSN all added to the list.

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Edna Mode on 02-06-2005 at 04:28 AM

would'nt it be nice if we could have a msg plus skin, is it possible to make (i know its probably not easy but it would be nice if there was one)


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 02-06-2005 at 10:28 PM

Patchou is not allowing anyone to use Messenger Plus! images in an MSN skin as skinning is technically illegal, and so he does not want Messenger Plus! associated with it in any way in case Microsoft tries to link the two together to shut down MSN is what I heard last time someone mentioned it.

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by ritusz on 02-12-2005 at 04:47 PM

i have a question

if i have a longhorn or futuristic skin the contacts will be sorted by email addresses even if i want to view them by display names 
what can i do now?


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by hekker on 02-14-2005 at 01:17 AM

where can i find the MSN CanaSimba skin the link is broken.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by JaymachRalTir on 02-14-2005 at 01:43 PM

Yes, I'm afraid I've had to stop hosting skins, at least temporarily, as it's eating up too much of my monthly bandwidth allowance. However, almost all of these skins can be found on TheBlasphemers Skin Manager, which can be found at MSNThemes.com, and I will be adding more skins to it as soon as I get access to my PC again.


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by spastje on 02-21-2005 at 10:20 PM

Is there no skin of iTunes. Are the skins avaible with the last beta (7.0.0604)?

Pffft...and you thought that would stop me from getting it? For shame...take a look at the list...major update...including quite a few MSN 7.0.0604 skins. Oh and they're all back up...just so people know. Though I still highly recommend using Skin Manager if you have MSN 7.0.0425, as that both saves me Bandwidth and has smaller download files. :)

In the WMP's preview, there is a small button near block button. What does it do? Is there this same button in 6.x? (I havn't used 6.x for so long but I remember seeing 3 small buttons.)

I love longhorn skin aero, though the pop-up when someone sign in doesn't show the DP :(.

ok you will need a good photoshop style editor, and a resourse hacker, and a hex editor, but i cant work these so i ignore it :P

when the msn program is opend in an editor, there is an enormous list of png files, these are the base a a skin, these have to be painstakingly and individualay edited to the style you want then put back in.

then there are colours that need editing doing these will give you a basic skin

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Gin on 04-11-2005 at 02:42 PM

Edit -never mind :) Have downloaded one now.


Ok me again.

For some reason I can't install the skin. (I have selected the longhorn aero skin.)

I get the error: "could not find offset to patch!"

What could be causing this? Is it because I have Plus! installed? :(
RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by -rafy- on 04-17-2005 at 05:17 AM


I get a "Could not find offset to match!" error when installing ?!
Please uninstall any skin or mod you have installed. Make sure you are installing the skin on an original unmodified version of MSN Messenger. To have a clean version simply reinstall/repair the original MSN Messenger. The latest version can always be found at http://messenger.msn.com


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Relentless on 05-01-2005 at 08:20 AM

Are they compatible with msgplus?

RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by Ylwan on 05-07-2005 at 07:57 AM

They can't be download...


RE: Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Beta Skins by CookieRevised on 05-07-2005 at 10:34 AM

People, please read the complete threads before posting. Many questions asked lately in this thread are already answered at the beginning...

----

What are skins:
Skins are exactly what the word says: 'skins' (aka 'altered looks'). They 'wrap around' a normal program to make it look different. If you wanna know how MSN Messenger skins can look, then take a look at the previews in the first post of this thread (if the bandwidth allows it)


How to make skins:
You must be very experienced in hex editing and resource editing. If you don't know what that means, then don't even bother thinking about skinning MSN Messenger, it isn't easy.
For more info visit: http://www.messenger-skins.net/


How to install a skin:
First make absolutely sure you have the correct version of the skin. Skins are version dependent. A skin made for 7.0.425 will NOT work on 7.0.605, etc...

Second, make sure you have a clean install of MSN Messenger, thus without any patches (this isn't always needed, but it often is)...

Then follow exactly the instructions given in the installer of the skin or in the 'readme' file that comes with it...


What's the bussiness with those .RAR and .ZIP files:
Those are archives which contain the actual needed files, and you need an archive extractor like WinZip or WinRar to extract the files from it. Also see the first post in this thread.

But tbh, if you don't know what archives are and how to deal with them, then you maybe aren't ready to start fiddling with skins...


I get a "Could not find offset to match!" error
Do as suggested: uninstall any skin or patch you already have installed. Make absolutely sure you are installing the skin on an original unmodified version of MSN Messenger and that you have the correct version of the skin for your MSN Messenger version.

To have a clean unmodified version of MSN Messenger to install your skin on, simply reinstall/repair the original MSN Messenger.


I can't download the skins from the first post in this thread:
JaymachRalTir, the creator of this thread, has already clearly stated several times that his bandwidth on his site, which hosts the skins, is limited and runs out quickly.

You can still try to click on the preview link to see if it will take you to another site. Some listed skins in the first post have screenshots on their own official site and thus are linked to there. In that way you can browse the official site for that skin and find an installer for the skin if available...

Other sources for skins are:
* http://www.msnthemes.com/?act=skinmgr
* http://www.rolandunderg.net/skins.php
* http://www.messenger-skins.net/

Threads on this forum:
* "Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 6.2.0137 Skins"
* "Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0425 Skins"
* "Want Skins? MSN Messenger Build 7.0.0813 Skins"




Always keep an eye on the version numbers of the skins; each skin is made for a particular msn messenger version!

Also note that the skins listed in this thread are outdated and not for the latest MSN Messenger.

Erm... possibly because this thread is a year old?

I very much doubt you have MSN 7.0
