I have version 8.5. I just cant figure out how to do this.

First make sure that you have the latest verison of messenger plus from here as skinning is only compatibly with version 4.50.
After this, when you've downloaded the skin, double click on the file and it will prompt you to install it
Once this is done the skin will be enabled after you restart messenger. Some skins have extra options, to access these click the Messenger Plus logo button, then "Messenger Skin" and "Skin Options"

ok, When I double click on the skin I get a message that says:
This program is used internally by Messenger Plus!. It cannot be run on its own.
What do I open this file as or what ever to install it?
RE: I need help badly (skin compatibility) by Nagamasa on 01-21-2008 at 03:26 AM
You're suppose to be opening VISTA-Ultimate-0.2.0.plsk.
To me, it seems like you're not opening the right file.

Its the same file that I downloaded that i mentioned in the link above

Try going running Messenger, then go to Plus! Preferences. Then, Go to Customize! and select Skins. Click Import and select the file that you have downloaded.

What might be happening, is the file extension details within Windows could have been messed up somehow. Running the file is supposed to launch an exe program with the skin as an argument, but its skipping the argument. Do a repair install of Messenger Plus from the Control Panel, and try installing the skin again.

In order to use skins, you'll need to download version 4.50 from here.
