toastyghost Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Woahh. I wanted this quite badly for a long time, but the lack of WIP threads and seemingly, interest, made me think it was never going to happen. But.. Two days? Impressive. And it looks good too, particularly the buttons along the top of the conversation window. No problems with making MSN use white text in the right places, I presume? And black looks far better than grey ever would. Only one small thing though; I think that the caption buttons on the contact list could do with being a few pixels higher. They look a little close to the display name/display picture section there. You know people are going to be asking for an Antimatter version of this too, right?

terrill Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 I didnt even know about the Antimatter version until you just mentioned it. :) I like the black background too. Not to worry about the text, everything is taken care of there. The hardest thing is making a scrollbar that is suitable for both a black background and an off-white one. I'll keep you all updated, but like I said, it wont be long before you can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriz Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Woah, thats awesome man (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mienski Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) That looks awesome :D I see what you mean about the background, maybe texture the black a bit or a dark grey. By texture I mean something like adding some diagonal scan lines or something subtle so that it still keeps it's flavour. If you want it done just PM me. Wouldnt want to create any extra work for you ;) EDIT: maybe something like the attached image Edited May 29, 2005 by plati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ember Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 WOW, very nice (Y) also, remove the font button, nudge button, emoticon button, etc, otherwise it will be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrill Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 This is one of the cool parts of the skin. See how there are three black dots under the "Send" button. The far left one toggles that toolbar that you mentioned, making the buttons appear/dissapear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
