Just an idea, but instead of putting a skin, keep everything the same, but just have a load of features, hide buttons, task bar allighnment, move dashboard etc.. Id give it a go myself but im useless at this kind of stuff.

i believe you can download the Mess.be patch to do those things for you. download at http://mess.be

I know about the Mess patch, but isn't it illegal? Anyway thanks SonicSam its what i was looking for.

I think, is not illegal. Why?

EDIT: If is illegal, you can not download from a normal website...just from 70rr3n7
The Mess.be is a helper site: create a name for you, write a tricks, downloads and others

Trash you are WRONG don't post incorrect information in the future please.

The Mess patch does break the EULA you agree too upon installing messenger as it modifies the executable, so it is 'illegal' but it's not exactly going to put you in the slammer, hell even messenger team use it themselves (as discovered on Mess.be)

There are some things patches can do which Skins cannot (they can edit the hex strings etc of the file to adjust parameters of features)

But there are some skins for plus about that will have the customization features you want (I personally always try to add them to every skin I make)

Sorry for my bad information!
