Poll: Should i add humour to my skin?
No, it'd be stupid, immature and no one in there right mind would want it.
Yes, but make it a Plus! option so people with different languages wont have to download a separate file (And people who dont want to, but want to look at it) wont have to download a seperete files
Yes, but make them seperete files, because you(referring to myself) have NO idea how to do Plus! Options

O.P. Should i have a "humour" skin(Now with screenshot!?
Well of course itd be an english only edition(Or english only option). But replace some of the strings with funny things. As ive allready done this to my messenger just to have a few laughs with friends. But then i thought "Hey! Maybe other people want this as well!".

So here i am, asking you(the community) if thats something you'd like to see!


Some examples:

"You should never give out your password or credit card number"
becomes
"You should never give out your password or credit card number, or unless you want to be scammed and robbed.... then please, send them immediately  to me at www.RRElive.com "

"Your messege could not be deliverd to all recipents."
becomes
"The message could not be delivered to all recipients, please check your number and try again."

"[name] has just sent a nudge"
becomes
"[name] just sent you a nudge. I strongly recommend nudging them back for revenge!"

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for it also, im glad to have a look at them!

I was thinking more.. installing the skin on a friends computer and it changes the buttons around and stuff so when they try and do something it does something else? :P

Ohh...*evil grin* i think that can be arrangend.... :D

Example(of my evil thoughts): Hide all the contacts  and make the backround of the contact list say

"There is no contacts to display. You have no friends, noboddy likes you, it even says it here on your profile "unlikeable""

Quote from Portal^^^. :P

fun and humour is only fun and humour if both parties find it fun and humour....

I wouldn't find something like that "fun". Neither would the skin be installed very long. So, very contra-productive I think... Not worth the effort if the skin is only going to be installed 5 seconds...

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

As for the poll:
If you're going to change language related stuff, it is always recommended to have an option to enable/disable this. Especially if this is going to be added as an "extra" to an otherwise good skin.

Erm, well... I suppose you could change the backgrounds of some of the windows into funny pictures, maybe pictures with jokes, some animated? Change some strings into jokes...

Just as long as it's fun. Things saying "There are no contacts to display, therefore you have no friends and no-one likes you" aren't fun, they're abusive.

I'd like to see the skin ^^

Well, i have screenshoted my beta of it(Please refer to first post). You wont be able to see all the funny things as it only does it in certain spots(eg, someone writting something, or you dont have an PSM). But some of its there at least :P.

And you can at least see how my skin looks(Fairly awesome looking isnt it?)
