That's just because that resource points to a 256 color bitmap. You can't replace with a png, but you can do a dodgy hack that makes it seem like you did :P I'm sure Volv will polish a few things before the contests end.

Just out of curiosity, can you replace it with a 32-bit bmp? Or would WLM stuff up if you try?

@Volv: Great skin by the way, not really my sort of thing but its pretty darn good anyway :P

It would crash, just because wlm is coded to read a 256 bitmap of that exact size and then mask out the (255,0,255) color value. I wish there was a way because those old bmp images annoy me too, but yeah its just a technical limitation.

the only thing im not convinced about in the skin is the close/min/max buttons. theyre too close together/too small tbh. but its rather sexy as a whole ;p

Break my heart all you want, i'm on the NHS.
ever wondered what it's like to ejaculate through your ears...? ;o

You're using an outdated version of the skin :p (a newer version was updated in the skins DB before this thread was made).

I agree, I often find myself clicking the wrong thing.
But I really like this skin, I can see myself using this for a long time.

I love this skin !!! But I don't like the chat window it's too much morbid for me. lol
Adding a background button could be great :)
