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]

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 (Y)

[mienski]

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

Horrible idea

Foton is smooth, not "textured"

[Klassik]

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 :huh:

EDIT: btw, whats the antimatter version?

Basically inverted Foton colors

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

nice work!

[ArnoldRoelz]

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 :D

Good work!

[ember]

WOW, very nice (Y) 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.

[adiaga]

pretty nice theme.

[Kriz]

Release going to be today then?

[terrill]

For sure today!

[OmART]

:), I will surely use it ( :whistle: )

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

[Kriz]

Good man (Y)

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

[Kriz]

Cant wait :)
