O.P. [Update] All Woollie Sheep
It's taken me a little over two months but I've managed to produce a skin of my own.

I had planned to create one "back in the old days", but was put off by the method used. So when the Plus! way came about I just had to have a go. :P

This skin does what most do options wise.

All comments; ideas; and/or requests will be taken and worked on, and new ideas of my own will be added when I learn something new.

A second skin info file is included for English strings if you wish to use them, maybe edit them, up to you.

The tab container is hidden by default as the border I placed it in remains if you have tabs hidden in WLM. So if you use them, select 'Show the Tabs container?' in the options.

Compatibility: Currently WLM 8.5.1302.1018 .. MP!L 4.60

Screenshots:
Range between 3KB and 66KB.

Download: (Updated 24th April) wlm_allwoolliesheep.plsk
Skins database submission .. do note this will be the previous version until the latest is approved!

See what you all make of it, thanks.

Mind hosting the shots on imageshack or somewhere public?

Good but I found some bugs. The nickname and the AWS Messenger on the top of the contact list window are hard to read. Also, in the Options Panel, there is too much space and the support button doesn't do anything. It is fine though, just check out the bugs. :)

I would suggest you not changing the text, as an Arabic user or a Spanish user would see English text.

Overall it seems like a good skin. :)

Yea I noticed that, the image replacement was part of the update this morning.

Space: for the "un-showable feature" 8-) .. and the beta option when it's in beta stages, saves me messing around. Now if there was an option of tabbing the options . . . *ahem*

The support button was working :S

Classic bars? Which part. I'm new to this don't forget. =D

Default SkinInfo doesn't change the strings. I have included an en_SkinInfo file to replace if users so wish. I'll update my first post with the database description.

Yea um that is Ubuntu's .. I haven't included them in on this skin. I am working on another one that does though, which is accessable from my sig link as a kinda botched beta. :P

I guess I should switch my theme back to xp when taking screenshots. +o(

No comments on the contact card ey?

Thanks for the input on this, I'll get to work on it some time over the next few days and link it here. Saves spamming database updates all the time.
