BlessedGuy made a skin thats basicly the same to his Aurora Live Messenger for WLM9. It's called My Live Messenger. MinMaxClose buttons cant be changed from the skin but the background and hide features are there.

Yep, toxn is right. I left the original one there so that those who had Messenger 8.5 wouldn't need to update it everytime a new version for WLM2009 was released.

Also, if you miss something that you'd like to see on My Live, just ask: I'll be free to work on it again in two weeks.

(And didn't add the option to change buttons because of Aero: I still haven't found a way to make Aero work when this option is present, as it requires a mask to remove the Aero frame)

Thanks the skins it's great but I would like some backgroud as the old aurora, liked the old rainbow, and to see the contacts as the old MSN figure not the little square that is better option.

But thanks I love the skin :D;) ;):P

Most of the old (or all) of the ALM backgrounds are in my live messenger.

if you want to preview the backgrounds without having to restart the messenger every time all the backgrounds should be in drive:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Skins\My Live Messenger\Background unless you changed msgplus' folder location

All. With the exact same names =P

Will work on MinMaxClose buttons (Vista and 7 users will have to download mynetx's aeroframe remover utility to apply this) and status icons in the first week of December (when my holidays will begin)
