Erm? This is not such a convincing skin. Honestly, you should start using some creativity and come up with your own creations (images) instead of using ones, already made by Microsoft, as the background of the entire Messenger interface.

P.S. The text looks horrible when it is black in colour and on such a background, you are better off using white as an alternative.

He said it's still in development, he started changing backgrounds like almost everybody do, and read the skin name, it is supposed to use Vista graphics.

Eehm, this skin is based on Windows Vista... so i don't see the problem.

Looks very great though :)

Willz's Vista Live Messenger and Windows Aero Messenger did not use original Vista graphics, they used similarly-looking ones made by Willz for that purpose.

Willz has excellent Photoshop skills and skins for about 3 or 2 years. He cannot be compared with anyone of us.

Haa haa. You will be waiting for too long, because I do not develop skins. ;) -- I just give feedback, be it positive or negative.

Sidenote: I don't see any modifications done to the UI except for the addition of the Vista background. =O

RE: [Coming Soon/Update] Vista United Skin 4.00
I completely agree with Acc2pmWDZ. I think there is a lot of things we can do and stuff (graphics) we can use to make a beautiful and original Vista skin. This one only looks (more or less) like dozens of other Vista's skins. Nothing new...

This is not about having Photoshop skills or not, even using someone else's backgrounds we can do great work. I have no doubt that Eminem1992 have done a good job, but try to be more creative.
