No previews as of yet. Still screwing with the XML file. Anyway :p To the part you are probably looking to. News.. The theme. Its a total overhaul of the yahoo 6 skin, using gant and reluna based images and styles. Pending Manhattan's permission of course, Bant O.o just isnt around any more so im just going to go ahead with that part. This may take a while though. School, work and life have priorities over this. So ill do it in my free time. Shouldnt take me too godawfully long, seeing as the typical yahoo skin pack only has 20 or so images. What takes time is the XML editing and adjusting. Yahoo uses XML to show the messenger and contact list via the size and shape and dimensions of images given. If an image is off a few degrees, it shows. Anyway :p Expect it eventually.

Oh things like Emoticons and things contained within the ypager.exe will not be modded. Due to.. well O.o Skins dont adjust them. You do.

I'd ask him...cos that aint right.

As an artist it makes me cringe to think about someone using my images without even asking, just rude man.

Doesnt really matter what i think anyway, Neomods won't let u get away with that IMO

-_- From what I saw with the Reluna nolight mod and the his info on DeviantArt. He is why I say he isnt around much anymore. Which I'll just contact B0se and ask him if I can use OpusLuna as my inspiration. Doesnt matter me, I wasnt just going to go on a fools errand to ask someone that isnt around.

I wouldn't care about bant's permission like he cares about people here and about his work...he stopped his activities in this community, gives bad comments about peoples' work if he posts in a thread, so give a damn about him and just post your mod when you are finished...he isn't anymore, I would call him dead, even if you would contact him I'm sure he wouldn't answer because he also doesn't care anymore about what people do in this community, that's how it seems to me!

I'm glad to see someone is making an effort to skin yahoo, i played around with the xml files, it's a lot harder than trillian or any other program that uses xml files for that matter :s

i would focus more on the messenger window itself...personally i have everything in the message window turned off and not showing including avatars...nonetheless i would still like to see more progress on this. Good Luck!

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
