Ive done it....not skinned msn but I have a program for it... you open it with the program and select the colours you want transparent and then save it...its actually quite easy with the right tools:P

dude i know how to make transparent images :P, im just saying its not possible to use transparent images in msn skins (the transparent areas turn out black, not transparent)

the png's 808, 803, 805, 801 and 802. Which are the bar that goes across :P

that's the pngs blending in what the background madman. The background would have to be tranparent. Which is the rgb value 255,0,255. Well i think and that's what i want testing :P

nah thats not the kind of transparency that m73a wants :P, you can make anything transparent in the msn window and it will show whats behind it, but behind the window isnt the desktop, its a giant black box which is what shows through when you have transparent background images, which is why it cant be done

maybe in msn8 eh... :P

yeh that's my plan. you can make a tranparent clour with rgb(255,0,255) which makes a pink. however msn displays this as tranparent. Try reshacking the system tray icons and see ;) i want to test it :P
