What's wrong with white and simple? Google is white and simple. Not all skins have to be in yo face MO FO! I prefer subtlety

I meant the scroll bars looked like windows classic style flat grey, and wondered if you'd used the theme calling to get the resources which thesteve describes here or used the 'normal' method and just used .png's

I remembered that sharing history scrolls are from windows themes...

That's why I use iGoogle, in another words...google with themes, so that it becomes stuffed and amazing!

Fortunately not! Imagine if all skins were like I like...the Plus! website would be ruined!
"To be Different is to be Normal, to be Equal is to be Boring!", like most people I know (and I) say...

What about Aberdeen

tested it!
loved some features like the change status dropdown in the dashboard (until now, I've managed to include each status into a separated icon, as you can see in AuroraLive 1.10), but some others, like the ocntactcard...looks kindof unused...
also...were did the tabs go!! they aren't hidden!!!
edit: managed how to show the tabs again
if you need help in something, ask me by mail (blessedguy_skins@live.com), and i'll help you =)


edit2: also, your contact search bar does not move, even when the option says it should

Really, I had that idea a few days ago, along the toolbar. I just need to look in to finding out the cmdid's for each one so they work as planned.

The tabs container is now separated so if people hide tabs via WLM by default they see a 2 pixel border that I can't shift. So I compromised.

The contact search bar: In defs/contact_bar.txt do a search for MoveCB and change to MoveBar .. there are 4 instances.

Support button: In options/options.xml do a search for AboutURL and change to AboutUrl.

A side question, how many pople you know of actually use the contact card? Should I change it back and have an option to change it or leave it as is for uniqueness?

In fact...lot of people use it...at least those who have spaces and skydrive accounts.
I think it would be nice if you gave that option, but it's your skin, your choice

List controls are not windowless, so that is actually a real scrollbar using windows graphics.

I have made a few small updates to this skin, tidying a few bits up here and there.

I also added the option to remove the song links, and slightly re-arranged the options panel.

The screenshots remain in the initial post, aswell as the download link. I'm submitting to the database now so avoid that one for a while since it's not the updated version.
