How?
It's just the same amount of time as making a skin for 8.5 from scratch for the first time. Probably even shorter, as all you really have to do is create a new resgroup and then work out what ids have changed, add the new files in, under a different folder for ease and then fix any graphical hitches. It's hardly unfeasible.
if it was a single themed skin then i would agree with you, however creating a seperate copy of each themes resgroup for each version of messenger you plan to support at present my skin has 7 themes for me to make compatable for 9.0 i have to duplicate each resgroup meaning a total of 14 resgroups once i get to my target of 13 themes thatll be 26 resgroups, all the work i have done thus far has taken nearly 5 weeks so going by your analysis itll take a further 5 weeks to add compatability for another version of messenger, yes its not impossible but i will probably wait until all the themes are built and perfected and released to the database before i start coding in compatability for addition versions of messenger.
hopefully by then 9.0 will be released properly (non beta)
