First off, there are amazing MSN Messenger skins out there.
I took inspiration from all of them.

I dont know, I guess I was just looking for a more mac/os-x-ish feeling to MSN. I made this concept. Unfortunately, I am utterly n00b at programming, so I wouldn't know how to make this skin. I do know there are talented neowinians who can make, well.. my dream become a reality.

Anyone up for the challenge?

P.S. Why do people block out the names of contacts when posting screenshots of MSN? It's not like you can get their sn/email address. tongue.gif

that's what I hate about mac emulation, if you're going to do it, don't do it half-assed, do it right ... take a look at the_unknowns skin, he did an excellent job

lol, I'm sorry..

Mine's just a concept.

If you want true mac emulation, just skinning your apps with buttons on the left is half-assed, use PearPC. tongue.gif Just messing with you, but to each his own, right?

Nice work on that mockup y0sh, looks real smooth and usable!

I agree with Y0sh... I like using mac looking skins but I hate the buttom on the left it confuses me

Even though I have gotten really sick of Mac-styled themes, but I say this is mockup is actually quite nice yes.gif It would be nice if this actually gets coded smile.gif

Mmmm ... looks nice.

rav0 is up to the challenge of building it. Could you post the files or email them to ravneel@gmail.com (files only, correspondence to rav0.aa@gmail.com). MSN Messenger uses PNG format graphics, so that or a vector format would be preferred.

I haven't actually skinned MSN Messenger 7 yet, so that is another reason for me to want to do it.
