O.P. [Preview] (still unnamed skin) Coming Soon!
Now that I do have an inspiration idea based on green, blue, and white waves, I started skinning WLM 2009.

I'm not in any hurry with this and you shouldnt be expecting this any time soon (I mean, I'm not doing anything tonight cause I have a math contest tomorrow.).

It's not quite done, there probably more to change at the bottom of the page :)

Feedback welcome.




Solved Problem:

I started with the toasts...but the only problem I have is that I can't get it to NOT pixelate. I'm making with Illustrator and it looks fine there.

I'm wondering as to how I can solve this problem, or what dimensions are the new toasts!

I am using 500x500 pngs and having no problems! =)
Just have to guess the correct spacing.

Yeah I took a look at My Live Messenger :P

I tried stuff at around 500px, but now I'm at 4000+ and it still looks the same :S What do you mean by spacing?

Here's the file.

Well I´ve used a 214x130 px pic and it works fine, a resized version with your pic in a new layer of my own psd looks like this:

not bad, I guess you are using a real big pic and that is generating the pixelate problem, here is the one I resized in photoshop (see Attachment)

hope that helps or something :P

nagamasa, the spacing I told you is meant to have the "Close" button nearer to the border... Like in the original one =)
Just leave some transparent space between top and bottom.
