[Beta Testing] Smile a Mile by Nagamasa on 12-11-2007 at 12:48 AM

Well this is the first time I've made something for Messenger, and I just thought this would be a simple idea for me to play around with...

Obviously, it is nowhere near finished, and I have a few problems with the strings...:(

What does the Quick Text button do? :P

Edit: meh, skin looks nice  but change the color of the font on signin window, the black writing is hard to see when it clashes with the black in the picture :P

Quick texts allow you to easily and quickly send a message to your contact.

Not a feature of my skin, it's MessengerDiscovery's.

I don't like it.. sorry :P

Maybe tiled smilies instead of one big stretched image?

Tiles would make it a lot harder to read because black/yellow/black/yellow will kill your eyes trying to look at text.

To be quite honest, the colour just hurts anyway.

I think it would be better all white with a yellow smile, or all black with a yellow smile and white text.

(of course, probably some kind of gradient for the black/white background)

Visually, that would look better! :P But then, black nor white gives that happy, goof-like feel...

But first, anyone mind P/IMing me as to how to change the colour of the Contact list header text? (A)

I'll help you with that over msn :)


RE: [Coming Soon] Smile a Mile by aNILEator on 12-13-2007 at 11:37 PM

gotta admit it's got no style at all :(

but at least you're learning


RE: [Coming Soon] Smile a Mile by Nathan on 12-13-2007 at 11:47 PM

It's his first skin :)
It's not going to be the dogs bollocks is it?

As soon as he gets inspired, he will be able to use the skills he learnt in this skin on something really good :p :)

If "dogs bollocks" means shit, then yes it is.

Well... It's nice for say.. a Sticker. But for WLM?

Also, the message window... you don't even see the face.


RE: [Coming Soon] Smile a Mile by Volv on 12-14-2007 at 12:06 AM

I think it should have like a neutral background (or a dark one) with a collage of nice glossy Smileys at the bottom of the sign in window instead of trying to make the entire window look like one big smiley. Just my personal opinion though...

It is a British thing...



Oh, and 1 more thing - How do you change the colour of the PSM? I can't get it to change :(.

Anyhow, now that I've finished the bulk of the skin, does anyone want to test this [wonderful] skin?
