O.P. Undecided  help please
erm...this may have been asked before and i apollogize in that case, but i haven't found what i was looking for using the search function.

so my problem is:
i finally got so fucked up with my msn always telling me to update to the new messenger, that i did it today - regret it instantly as i thought - downloaded the new plus! too. now i wanted to change that ugly skin, that works too, thanks to some people who already created new skins for wml 9 - thanks to you guys, awsome work!

but there are skins my wml tells me following problem "this skin may not work with your version of windows live messenger please downlowd the latest version" (sth like that)
well i have the latest version, what's wrong with that? and is there any way i can make them work? if someone could tell me what the problem is and how to solve it or if there are already threads with this existing send me a link i'd be most grateful.

regards and thanks a lot

I was gonna say that =P But yes, they're for 8.5, you should check the "Compatibility" information before downloading, it would help you =)

RE: help please
Yup. On each skin it says the compatibility. All the skins you listed say: "This skin works with Messenger versions 8.5".

It explains why, here: http://www.msgpluslive.net/skins/help/#compatibility

So, only skins that say they're compatible with 9.0 (2009) will work.

Personally I don't see any problems with the new Messenger. It looks fine, you just need to get used to it.

It takes time and patience, it's not something you'll be able to do overnight unfortunately. But with some work put in and the helpful people on this forum, you'll make a skin in no time. :)
