Apart from that, very nicely done Willz :P

k well took a look at it and the code is right technically, its just one of those buttons wlm does not like to be removed (like email and mobile) so I'll have to change the way I hide it.

Something should be up later today.

*UPDATE Fixed removal code, should all be fine, rather than download the whole skin again, just download the updated 920 definition and place it in the directory.

Updated 920

Maybe a little more beta testers/bug testting before release?

Meh I'm only human.

Most of the testing went into seeing if the layout changes I did would not cause bugs (not removal options) since I did chop the hell out of the UI and as of yet there is nothing bugging up without using patching options.

But yeah I mean theres only about 3 ways to remove a button and WLM is really picky on which needs to be used :/ I assumed that the chat window buttons could be removed the easy way but obviously the voice clip button is not one of them (even though in 8.1 it was fine :/ and that was the last time I had done it so I just thought it would be the same but obviously not)

Other skinners will know how inconsistent WLM is when it comes to that sort of stuff. Take the contact search ghost text bug :P that only existed from 8.5 before that it was totally not there :P

Intresting skin concept. I like it.

You just need to add 9.0 compatibility. Its been a long time since a new build hasnt been released so you dont have to worry about a update.

Now watch you make this 9.0 compatibile and MS releases a new version of 9.0 :P

Yeah i know, but just a quick check mightive been in order. But really good work, sorry if it sounded as if i thought you didnt put alot of time, effort and testing into it.

I don't need to do anything when it comes to 9, if a new build hasn't been released in a long time then that means that the next build that does get released will be something thats drastically different than the previous (on the inside)

Besides 9 has too many random problems when it comes to skinning it as I've said a couple hundred times already.

There is no reason to document and create like I did with 8.5 for Open Live since its going to go down the drain soon enough. So yeah I do not want to hear anything about wlm 9.

not final = not worth it (and no I'm not angry cos someone mentioned 9, just saying thats all :P)

Wouldn't blame you if you where, you spend a lot of time just to help other people and then someone tells you that you didn't work hard enough. I know it would piss me off :)

nice work btw

Whoa whoa whoa, calm down here people, no need to get up in arms and start a war..... yet. Not until the wars of WLM 9 and WLM 12. Where there two colosal powers will colide and rip the world apart and we have to fight a war for survival or something.... and itl star Willz as the main heroic leader of a small band of rouges trying to stop the war..... and ill be filming it, and get eaten by a pigion or something, iunno. :D.


But back to the point, when WLM9 hits gold(end of 2008 early 2009) do you belive that you will be still on the scene and will make an open source WLM skin again for it? I heard you would get more tied down by Uni, work and stuff......
