Hello to everyone,

Its been a while since I have released anything and people are asking what exactly I am up to.

Well asides from working my jobs and living life I have been working on a set of 3 skins which I will launch at some point in the near future (hey don't ask me when, these things can't be rushed)

Now as most of you know the skinning contest is coming (apparently in August so that's not much time away). As most of you may or may not know I will not be entering the contest because of my level of skill and the work I do so it will all be pretty interesting to see who wins.

But one question that has come up is that if I was allowed to enter what skin would I be entering. Well the designer series represents the set of 3 skins which I would have entered if given the chance to.

So I thought for a bit of fun and also to show you guys what I have been up to for the past month or so that I would post my latest skin creation.

This is one of the skins you all would have been up against if I was entering

So I present the first skin in the designer series:

Phunk'n


Phunk'n is a skin for those who like compact and sleek skins. It has been designed so that it blends with a vast majority of visual styles. Additionally the skin colorizes to perfection.

Phunk'n is also based on a fresh new code base and features smooth fade transitions for the majority of the messenger UI. When combined with the Messenger Plus transparency feature (as pictured) it really does stand out. One of the best things about the skin is how small in size you can make it, its really awesome to have something so small and compact sometimes

and to answer the first question some of you may have:

Yes it comes in a white version and yes it is as sleek as the black version.

The best part about the skin is that what is shown here is only the tip of the iceberg and there is a lot more going on in the skin than what it looks like.

And this is just the first skin in the designer series so remember there are another two skins where this one came from. Hmm aren't you glad I can't enter the contest

Anyway be on the lookout because I don't plan to keep these skins unreleased for too long!

Willz.

Wow. Six thumbs up. And fade transitions? I'll believe that when I see it

Looks awesome, keep it up

This skin really rocks. Simple and stylish. One thing I noticed is that this skin doesn't have the usual button you have below the MinMaxClose buttons. Anyway, I can't wait to see the other two.

Looking awesome Willz!
Can't wait to get it.

I'm trying something different this time around, there may or may not be a menu depending on whether what I have planned works or not

Still a lot of work to be done for this.

It looks amazing! I wanna beta test

pssh, I can always hold off the release till after the skin contest

You could release all 3 skins after the skinning contest or with the contest results. Then Patchou could release a special version in which there will be your skins and the winners of the contest like it has been done with the scripting contest.

Very nice Willz! I can't wait to see the others.
