RE: [Early Preview][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by aNILEator on 03-15-2008 at 08:43 PM

simplicity :)

I still don't like social profiling sites :P
and ditch the watermarks :( (or use one of those fine translucent line watermarks that don't distract your eyes form the image only obscure it from being copied perfectly)


RE: [Early Preview][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by blessedguy on 03-15-2008 at 10:12 PM

somethings sdemm like...win98!!!
you could at least use rounded borers at the buttons..but its nice!
(use translucedent watermark please!!! and only one at the middle is enough i guess...)


RE: [Early Preview][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Quantum on 03-15-2008 at 10:16 PM

This looks like a great skin..

Your a great skinner btw, if i could rep you i would :)


RE: [Early Preview][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by vikke on 03-15-2008 at 10:28 PM

Hey Coolzee!
It looks quite nice, but I think the conversation window should have a blue header like the contact list.

Why your email address printed, it's not like anyone would like to sell your screenshot.

RE: [Early Preview][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Eddie on 03-17-2008 at 06:32 AM

looks like a minimizer skin, or whatever there called, in my opinion plain and boring just like the real thing, but good work on making the skin :)


RE: [Previews/Releases][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by coolzee on 03-18-2008 at 03:46 PM

I have re-submitted my facebook skin to the Messenger Plus! Live Database.

I'll tell you when its available for all of you. :)

Be sure to check my first post for releases and new screenshots of the skin.


RE: [Previews/Releases][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by blessedguy on 03-18-2008 at 05:55 PM

good luck


RE: [Previews/Releases][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by stuartbennett on 03-18-2008 at 08:45 PM

its ok i guess, yeah it looks very much like facebook and very minimalistic i guess that will appeal to some people, personally i like skins that are in your face graphics heavy and packed full of options for customizing messenger but hey thats just me.


RE: [Previews/Releases][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by coolzee on 03-19-2008 at 01:37 AM

I've re-submitted my skin again...because the image folder was a mess. So i re-send it and hopefully its get into the database this time..just wait. :)


RE: [Previews/Releases][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by coolzee on 03-19-2008 at 10:14 PM

You can now get it on my attachment. I'll give u the link for the database one as soon as its up.

Feedback for bugs will be great or suggestions.

Enjoy!


RE: [Previews/v.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Basilis on 03-19-2008 at 10:22 PM

The toast doesn't work. It shows a buggy image which means the image has not been replaced correctly in the SkinInfo

I like it a lot now, not a fan of facebook though, but a very nice job with the skin! :) MySpace one next? lol


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by stuartbennett on 04-17-2008 at 05:07 PM

well actually if coolzee renames the skin to say "Social Skin" then he can do a multithemed skin with facebook, myspace and a few others in order to cater for the masses but hey thats ultimately upto coolzee.

Great Idea!!

I am going do that next then. There so much out there.

Stay tune for more social skins. :D;)(Y)
RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by blessedguy on 04-17-2008 at 06:56 PM

=)
nice stuart!

by the way...i'm thinking of making a wordpress skin to brazilian public, protesting about wordpress blocking in Brazil..let me explain:

wordpress is in a hard situation by here, there was a blog (that the govern won't reveal wich is) that posted illegal things (idem) in the blog...and then some people from the Judiciary (something like the "Supreme Court") saw it and send a legal notice to Wordpress asking them to close the blog...as wordpress can't close only one blog...they are baing persuated to close the WHOLE wordpress...and now this is a polemic case for wordpress publishers by here (over 1 million)....
also...that's why my signature is written "Não ao Bloqueio da Worpress!", that means something like "Say NO! to WordPress blocking!"

Now...will get to work!

back to coolzee's skin...

I'm really enjoying this skin (although i only use it a lil time).
congrats coolzee!


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by stuartbennett on 04-17-2008 at 07:28 PM

your welcome coolzee im glad i was able to inspire you, having been developing in the multitheme skin area for the past nearly 4 months now ive kinda got a thing about trying to give people multitheme skins so they have a better choice, after all not everyone uses facebook and yeah while you could do all the skins seperately i just thought that like 365 thats all different holidays and events the series of skins you want to make are essentially social networking skins and therefore it seemed logical to bundle them together into one easy to use fully customisable package.

blesedguy i am sorry to hear about your government blocking wordpress that sucks, your whole skins site is on wordpress so its really bad that you cant use it, and i think they are really over reacting, anyway i hope it all gets sorted soon, if theres anything i can do to help or show my support for your cause like display a banner or sign a petition or something let me know and ill be glad to help.

sorry if i went a little off topic with my repoly to blessedguy everyone.

(lil offtopic too)

no need to worry, sstuart!
wordpress is safe...because of its users...it happened like that with youtube in 2006...
like people say..."And the government had so more interest things to do..."
RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Nocta on 06-18-2008 at 11:41 PM

Sorry for this bump but I have a question.

I tried to remove the ads from this skin but I couldn't. I did it in the default skin with A-Patch but I got nothing with this one. Is there any way to do it ? I really like this skin.


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Basilis on 06-19-2008 at 08:40 AM

Skins that remove the ads with option are not accepted in the database. So skins need to have .reg files. If the skin doesn't have a .reg file in its directory, then there is no way to remove them using this skin.

It's not the .reg file which removes it. The .reg file is simply a handy trick used by skin developers to make removing ads possible for regular users.

Some skins have a hidden option to remove ads which is turned off by default and can only be turned on by making the registry keys yourself. Instead of opening regedit and modifying the registry yourself, a .reg file with the keys in it can add those, which makes it easier for those who want to remove the ads.

The reason why this works is because the skin creator adds a special condition in the UIFILE which will only be triggered when this hidden option is activated, and therefore a .reg file is useless when the skin's UIFILEs don't have such condition tags. You can do it yourself, of course, since skins are open source, however it'll require a good knowledge of UIFILEs so you can find what you want to change.

So, in order to remove the ads, the creator has to add a hidden feature in the skin or you'll have to modify the UIFILEs yourself. :P
RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Nocta on 06-21-2008 at 02:03 AM

Where's the sense in doing a software with ads and a secret way to remove them ? I mean, that, I think, it's kinda ilegal or should be.


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by Thor on 06-21-2008 at 03:07 AM

I'm in ur screenshot, stealin' ur pixels.

Although I'm horribly late, good work.


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by QueensColombian on 10-02-2008 at 02:08 AM

Hey, love the Facebook skin. But I have a question. Are you planning on making a Spanish version of the skin, because I have a lot of friends in South America who love Facebook and love Messenger and would love to use this skin.

I can help with translation if you like, but I'm just here to ask if you're planning at all on including foreign versions of the skin.


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by warmth on 10-02-2008 at 04:37 AM

coolzee can count on me to translate and to design the next version of facebook skin based on the new facebook look... :P


RE: [v.1.1 Released!][WLM 8.5] - Facebook skin by coolzee by limeares on 03-02-2009 at 04:13 PM

I (L) your skin.. Please (if you can) translate it to Spanish (not so important), but please make it compatible with Messenger 2009. Thanks! :)

I'm kind of busy with other skins, i guess you need to wait for a while...

sorry. :(
