I got WLM 2011, finally. Also installed Live Plus and Agaeti.

There is a bug, I think.
Agaeti seems to be forcing a font on every text on WLM. Not only the font of the text of the buddylist, but also the stuff you type and send. Only people without Agaeti can see the true font, then.

Is there any way I can change this and see my own font?

I believe the font replacement only replaces those who are using the default font (Segoe UI). If you/your contact is not using Segoe UI, then it should appear as-is. Even if you are using Segoe UI and the skin replaces the font, your contact will see Segoe UI.

However, Messenger Plus! does have a feature that replaces your contacts' fonts into your pre-selected style, but that is a separate issue.

That's true.

I have tried selecting and applying the other fonts, too, and that's how I found out that the font gets forced onto EVERYTHING but what the other person recieves.

The Fyxedsys font I selected could be recieved by my buddy, but I simply saw the font I selected in Agaeti, every time.

Strange, I always used the Ubuntu font in the options panel and Segoe UI for my conversation, and Segoe was still being the shown one, not Ubuntu.

Anyways, everything you change via anyone's skin options panel will only affect your side

Hi there.

As you may have noticed, Agaeti hasn't been updated for quite a while. In the meantime, Plus! got some nice updates and so did Windows Live Messenger, and the combination of both introduced some new minor problems. I'm working to fix them

While an update is not ready, you can try this: http://software.blessedguy.com/agaeti/helper/current

It's a simple program that lets you choose any JPEG or PNG image and make it your conversation window or contact list background. Remember to restart Messenger after clicking apply!

It's a new application and it is not signed or anything, your browser might thing it's a malicious program. Fear not, it's safe.

That's interesting. What a fortunate timing!

I have recently restored my PC to it's original state, and reinstalled WLM 14 (the 2009 version). When thinking of a customization skin, I immediately remembered Agaeti. Ever since I've reinstalled, it doesn't seem to show any malfunctioning. Not even with the latest Live Plus (which I have also installed).

Though I like the option of having anything I'd like as my messenger background, I just like Blue (something something) more than anything!

However, I will definitely try out this software. Thanks!

Agaeti 1.11 released. See first post for download and changelog.
Agaeti Helper 0.1.2.2 released. See first post for download and changelog.

-------------

Agaeti now supports the new Plus! buttons, you'll need Agaeti Helper 0.1.2.2 or later and Agaeti 1.11 or later to toggle them, read first post for details.
