A simple and functional skin for MSN Messenger based on my Velvet Waves visual style. Includes support for colorization whereby the window border/title colour can be changed.

Notes

Built on MSN Messenger version 6.2.0205.

This is an old project which I've finally found the time to complete hence the reason for it being Messenger 6 only.

Further improvements may include new tab images but don't hold your breath ;)

Recolour you default windows them. Not exactly hard?

Unless this skin recolours a different bit...

Currently the entire converstion window is recoloured, but I might change it so that only the borders are changed.

As far as MSN Messenger 7 goes, it's a possibility for the future but it certainly won't be happening into the final version comes out.

Link Down?!

deviantART went down for a bit I imagine, it's up now though.

I've updated the file as well with a version that fixes not being able to use the first toolbar buttons (invite, font etc.). Also I've changed it so that only the window borders are colourized so you can have it in whatever colour you like :).

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
