I am perfectly aware of that one and unfortunately there is no fix. I will explain why.

In the skin standard toolbar has two modes, the bottom taskbar mode and messenger default. Now the messenger default layout keeps the original mouse over images which the formatting toolbar also uses. Now that mode causes no problems because its all the default messenger layout.

Anyway the point is this, when in the bottom taskbar mode I had to create a new button class so that you could have different mouse over's to the formatting toolbar. Because the stuffplug button is not in any UIfiles it just uses the default messenger toolbar mouse over which is why you are seeing that issue.

This is not the first time I have had a problem like that. Ev0 has a similar problem when using the stuffplug chat window button. It is pretty much guaranteed to happen in any skin that uses a style that is not messenger default in the chat window.

It's something that the creators of stuffplug will have to accomodate for as it is beyond my control.

This is without a doubt the coolest skin I've ever seen. It's practically a program with all the stuff you can change! The contact has signed in/opened a conversation with you toasts look AMAZING. The picture for when a contact doesn't have a display picture is cool and so are the little "pearls" on their display picture in the contact list. The fact I can actually CHANGE the colour of my conversation window now (since I had a dynamic dp which restricted me) is skill in itself (I've been requesting this be put into StuffPlug)

All that said I couldn't find a nice blue to use, so looks like this isn't the skin for me either.

And what's with the status picture changes. All my desktop contacts have weirdo circles instead of a messenger buddy. That's just a bit weird for me...

PS your aliased emoticons look really cool, even if they do look a bit dodgy in parts. (e.g. your 's lip is like full bent up...yeah I notice the little things)

But yeah sweet skin. I don't really see what the point of Patchou having a skinning contest is if you're gonna enter.

Luna Evolution and Windows Live Messenger Dark Remix is the same?

Btw, what settings to get the theme on the left side of your picture: http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wampb4.jpg

I am not entering the contest due to the unfair advantage I have over the majority of people, will make things interesting for sure

Luna Evolution and Windows Live Dark are not the same, they colorize a bit different to one another.

The Vista Dark pattern is very blurry for me, and I don't have a shade of blue like in your pic.

* Aardvark thinks about this for a second...
* Aardvark tries to colourize the contact list with XBox 360 skin applied
Ok that is very cool...very...very cool. Black and blue!!
