O.P. RE: Release - Speed Racer
Well look guys, personally the skin isn't anything I would use either :P but the idea is to try and suit the movies theme as best as possible. For the speed racer series you wouldn't exactly expect something minimalistic and simple (the same goes for iron man).

Advanced skins are more of a novelty to me than anything else. To me, these skins are aimed more at the general public than serious customizers or skinners who like their skins to blend in with their desktop better.

I wouldn't worry too much because I haven't totally given up on my own creations. In fact I have something in mind for something minimalistic and very clean, but that will come when the time is right ;)

I like it too. Maybe because I know how hard it is to have such a great result. It is not the easiest thing to change the way Messenger looks so much.

Sweet! one thing though: the tabbed chat bar looks weird with this skin. The terxt areas could be brighter too I'd say.

Other than that, I really like it, as always Mr Willz.

I have to admit, the skin looks far better when it's in action, whereas the screenies don't do it justice :(

Nice work :)
