Messenger skins for everybody! by Patchou on 05-22-2008 at 05:06 AM

Hi everybody,

there have been so many developments in the skinning world recently that I had to talk some more about it. Many new skins have been created and submitted to the official database. Among them you’ll find Indiana Jones, Batman, a Wii inspired skin and much more. Some people even created skins based on add-ons such as Messenger Discovery and Messenger Plus! itself.

To celebrate these achievements, a skinning contest will be organised during summer. You will all be invited to participate and showcase your talents and ideas. Special prizes will even be distributed to people who just use the skins and don’t create any. So, if you have ideas for a new cool skin the world may enjoy or if you were already planning on updating your existing creation, now is the perfect time to start working on it. The official documentation, guidelines and special tutorials can all be found in the resources for skin creators page.

All the details surrounding this contest will be posted on this site in June. People in Montreal, get ready for a new excellent Fantasia movie sponsored by your favourite add-on in July. Stay tuned!

Bah, I don't have any creativity, so I don't think I'll participate :(

Good luck to the participants! :)

You mean half movie where the best part get cut because they think there's a bomb and then get us out to stay close to the imaginairy bomb so if it does exist we'd be dead no matter what to finally only know we're not getting back in?

Night was great though. :)

If I get time from work, uni exams and other lectures I might consider making something rather simplistic.. probably would suck :P

Great news Patchou.

RE: Messenger skins for everybody! by vaccination on 05-22-2008 at 10:19 AM

Maybe I'll finally finish my skin then :P

RE: Messenger skins for everybody! by Willz on 05-22-2008 at 10:19 AM

I'll just be interested to see who wins this contest :P

Will certainly be good to see a bit of friendly competition going.

Hope is during summer break...not during exams...:D

Seems like Patch was kind of lazy and just taking the newest skins on the database (or maybe Wii Messenger is that sexy?) :P

ah well at least now I can save the special new skin I was going to make for later. Or maybe i'll just make it for myself and not release it :P

but yeah like I said it will still be interesting to see how the contest plays out :P I wanna see if Open Live makes an impact on the contest or not mainly.
