My MSN Messenger design

Here's another idea... I think most of it should be possible. I call it "Element" with fire, water, and grass colour themes. What do you guys think?

@Trojan

the white doesn't stand out as much as the earlier 3 colors. How bout skinning it first and later add in other colors?

BTW since no one seems to have mentionned it before

I'm just nitpicking here, but the font (or font size, rather) doesn't really go with the gradients. Other than that, it looks sweet!

Hot damn! :o

Those are great! :yes:

[JorgeIvan]

Can't wait!!

[mienski]

So many ideas, now we just need people to skin them!

As a matter of interest, are there any tutorials to show how?

[Vice]

all this skinning got me in the mood so i got out the Res Hacker and started changing PNG's

This is finished and what I ended up with. very nice I say so myself :p

The quality in the screeny looks bad because I edited persons name out with MS Paint and it's jpeg quality is bad. (also I removed the minimize exit and Maximise buttons because I prefer it without, they are still there just without any icon representing them)

EDIT I know the send button looks dodgy, I think I will redo that.

[bigtwist]

ive been reading this topic for a while now and i was just wondering how the development of the skins are coming along penguin?

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

Trojans skin is going very well, I need to clean up the toasts (when people log on, when you recieve emails etc) get the games section working properly and figure out why I cant seem to change the status icons in the selector drop down. Ive been busy and fairly sick of late (and with the skin leak it got worse) so things sorta came to a stand still, but I will be back on track by friday.

Once those bugs/missing elements are done and sorted, ill give a final copy to trojan for an "ok" and ill set it up for download, the biggest part is where you guys come in.. if there are any errors people will have to get back here and post about it so I can try and fix it.

Expect a release soon.

There are other skins in developement, but after the leak and distribution of GHL's degisned msn 8.0 skin I will be keeping these pretty quiet untill I have almost finished (probably wont take me that long).

[Alexandre.]

what do you mean "but after the leak and distribution of GHL's degisned msn 8.0 skin"?its been leaked???????????

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

It was leaked for a short period, but that appears to be contained and I wont be releasing a final version of that untill I finish Trojans skin.

ps. damn me and that reverse typing habit, I really need to have that checked out....

[JorgeIvan]

I wish the relase now :shifty:

[Alexandre.]

so the full versions should be finished by the end of this week
