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?

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.

Woah, thats awesome man

That looks awesome
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

Horrible idea

Foton is smooth, not "textured"

That's dope man. I'm using the same Winamp skin, I love it.

The pure black just seems a little harsh in such large sizes

EDIT: btw, whats the antimatter version?

Basically inverted Foton colors

wow that looks off the chain!! cant wait..
nice work!

Wh0a! I like it...and since foton is still the VS of my choice I will use this skin as soon as it gets out

Good work!

WOW, very nice also, remove the font button, nudge button, emoticon button, etc, otherwise it will be perfect

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.

pretty nice theme.

Release going to be today then?

For sure today!

, I will surely use it ( )



btw, the history would be I made the windowblind, and matt0 ported it to msstyle

Good man

Poooooooooooooost the download link come on! Great looking skin! Maybe a dark blue gradient for the bg? Not sure it fits in with the theme (using it now.. and been using it 4ever =p) but *shrugs* post it!

im gonna be using this

Just working on one final thing. Gotta get rid of a bug when tabs are turned on, then it will be ready!

Cant wait

comeon release..

my only question would be what does the taskbar icon look like?

same here, just love the skin, great work

I'm tired

Nice one

Many thanks

w00t, beast! You rock

whoa nice!

This is how it's done Jase!

Great work, Terrill. Installing it right now!

Why isn't the bottom of the contacts window rounded?

Because that's physically impossible to do through UIFile editing as far as any skinner so far knows...maybe they'll find out how to in the future but for now there's no way to do it.

Kind of hard on the eyes.

Oh

really nice. I may switch it with my Milk skin

oh my freaking god!
that could make me leave miranda (since there is no longer coders) to use crapy msn messenger!
awsome work

Nice using it now, only qualm i have with it is the " what are you listening to " links are dark blue, and combined with the black background, makes it hard to see.

other then that, i love it and replaced my MSN Inspirate


{edit} would the link color overide fix that, as just rememberd its technically a link and IE links are about the same color

awesome
you are fast, only 2 days!

How do I get rid of the tabs, that I can't see in this skin, and are obviously screwing it up, and how do I remove the outer window?

oh, and if you have links turned off for the music, you can't see it at all....and the group select, as seen in my picture, needs to be changed.

Thanks for all your hard work terril

Dare I say if you cant turn off tabs or you dont know how to get rid of the window border, you shouldn't be using skins.

As for the music thing, I dont really know what your talking about. The group title when highlighted may not fit in exactly, but it does the trick. Its still readable right?

But anyway to turn off tabs: Go to Tool -> Options -> Security ->and unselect the "This is a shared computer, so dont display my tabs"

I'm not even going to touch on how to get rid of the window border....

wow, alright...

whole reason I don't know is cause I just recently went back to MSN, I'm a Miranda user usually, but I enjoy the ability to show my friends what music I'm listening to, and Miranda wasn't capable of doing it in a way I liked.

EDIT: nm

i really love this skin so very much...it's so cool!!

thanks a million to you, Mr. terrill

Thanks for letting me know, that totally put a smile on my face. Your very welcome.

love this skin as well. =]
are there going to any future updates?
a antimatter version? =]

Just because someone doesn't know how to do something, doesn't give you the right to criticize them. Sure your skins are nice, but that doesn't make you a god.

I was completely serious with what I said. Some thing just aren't for everyone.

I agree with you completely, and I know I wouldn't jump down someones throat over something as simple as a friggin button at the top of the window, which by the way, I found by myself.

To put things into perspective, you (terrill) wrote a hell of a lot to tell me I shouldn't use your skin, when all you had to do was say "the button in the upper left hand corner."

With all that said and done, I am enjoying your skin, and do appreciate the work you put into it.

That's fine if you were serious, all I am saying is what you said was rude. At one point in time we all ask questions, because some things are new to us. Again, just because you know how to do something, doesn't make someone who doesn't a retard. Grow up, man.

Awesome skin dude .

Got another one in the works, its a Tiger based Skin. I'm lovin it already.

IF you could do a milk one as well I for one would be ecstatic. Pls to make it compatable with mess.be's patch too.
