This is mine and NanaFreak's first skin and defiantly not our last. We will keep this skin updated and add new features if there is enough interest in it.

Constructive criticism only please. If you find something about my skin you do not like, do not have a sad. Suggest ways it can be improved. Any suggestions are welcome.

Author: Phillip and Nanafreak
Compatible with: WLM 8.5 only
Download v1.0

Things that need working on
New emotions in the Chat window.
Replace most icons.

Awesome vista skin, and I made the name :D


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by vikke on 12-10-2007 at 03:11 PM

Looks good, but there's too much white in my opinion.


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by Eddie on 12-10-2007 at 03:11 PM

gah, tempting to re-install 8.5 and 9.0 to get these skins :P im loving the msn dude with the gun lol. Plus the nudge and winks and emoticon icons dont really suit the layout of the conversation page in my opinion :S


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by Phillip on 12-10-2007 at 03:17 PM

Background will be added later on and I will be replacing them emotions to (I didn't really like them either) Might make some of my own.

In 947 Styles.txt add foreground:rgb(255,255,255); to the elements to change the color to white :).

RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by Jimbo on 12-10-2007 at 03:38 PM

I first looked at this and thought eww, but once i got in installed it looks awesome!. Yeh it will look even more great with a background:D

Sorry for my bad English...
Maybe you can make a DP just a little bit larger and improve border around them...

Is your name really Seith?


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by Shiny Rabbit on 12-11-2007 at 07:41 PM

only problem i had was it tries to skin my messpatch buttons and makes them invisible


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by NanaFreak on 12-12-2007 at 02:23 AM

Yea, you shouldnt have mess patch or apatch on when you are running a skin :) because they are basicly the same thing... well for changing the layout of stuff and adding button etc


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by Discrate on 12-12-2007 at 03:28 AM

Its really good phillip! (Y)

I have a suggestion :P

See in the chat window the right side with the display pictures, instead of leaving that white you could maybe colour that in with the windows vista style if you know what i mean.


RE: [Release]uberultramegaawesomeskin by NanaFreak on 12-12-2007 at 03:34 AM

Yes, the skin will be like that... just look at the version number of the skin ;)

*groan* but i like the benefits using a patch has

edit: i have found that my problem only applies to skins which skin the messenger buttons, in skins which leave them intact(e.g skylines) it works fine

maybe something patchou can fix for plus 4.60?

If you drag the scroll bar on the CL it will stretch out of shape and grow longer. Just a minor bug

New version released. See OP. Enjoy =]


RE: [Update]uberultramegaawesomeskin by stuartbennett on 12-15-2007 at 08:49 AM

hi guys i love this skin, however i prefer the colours seen in the screenshot, because your background colourises with the users colours i find that it dont look as nice as in the screenshot, could you maybe add an option in the options panel for colourising so the user can decide if they want the backgrounds colourized or not? just a thought


RE: [Update]uberultramegaawesomeskin by NanaFreak on 12-15-2007 at 09:02 AM

will probably add this option in the next release... keep an eye out for it :)


RE: [Update]uberultramegaawesomeskin by stuartbennett on 12-15-2007 at 09:07 AM

thanks nanafreak
