Well unlike most of you I run a company, I make graphics for money, weathers its print media, websites, themes, or even a simple gui for a messenger program. I don't have time to do freebees, even for myself. I'm a very busy person and I'd rather not do any sort of business with the Nexus team after speaking with this so called "Nazgulled" now for those that still wanted me to do something, you can thank him for it. As far as your age, I don't need you to tell me the age you are, I can tell my reading your immature messages. Maybe once you have been around the block for a few more years you will get an idea on how this all works, keep your mouth shut until you know the full story. I'm sick of dealing with these kids who think they are "hot sh*t" maybe when you grow up we can talk, but until then keep your comments towards me to yourself. I'm done with this.

lol, you're funny...

(...)I'd rather not do any sort of business with the Nexus team after speaking with this so called "Nazgulled"(...)

first of all, i'm not part of the team, i'm just a simple guy thatlikes the way this project is going and likes to keep watching the progress.

Maybe once you have been around the block for a few more years you will get an idea on how this all works(...)

guess what? I already now how it works... or do you happen to think for a split second you were the only one doing graphics for money? I also do it as long as with many people around the world, so shut up and don't talk about what you don't know. I'm immature? do you think i'm a kid that thinks i'm "hot ****"? lol, do you really think I care about what you think about me?

Like I said, I also do graphics for money but there are unique things that could turn out in big things that I wouldn't mind giving my help for free if I had the time for it. And I belive nexus will be big, if the current nexus team don't give up and work on it with motivation, then I believe we will have a great alternative to msn messenger. Of course there are priorities, but that's another story.

You could have told us that you couldn't do it for free because you are full with work and you simply don't have the time to do free stuff. I would easly understand that, as long as with everyone else I believe, but you didn't.

Xero is a great artist and I understand why he wishes to be paid for his work. We did a brief PM talk and he informed me that he would love to see my work published but currently he is working for payment for his graphic works. I understand this and respect his decision. Don't bash him just because he wants money.He's not being greedy at all, he just doesn't have the time/resources to do a free project.

Apologies aside but "Nexus is not willing to pay a skinner". Not because we are a bunch of pricks but because we don't have the resources to afford it. This is why we are looking for a good FREE design. Xero had a good one but unfortunatly he wanted money for it. He's still a good guy with awesome talent none the less.

So now that school is out, I ask again if there is any talented skinners who wish to do a skin using XML templates? For Free? If so, thank you very much. You would contribute a lot to this project.

The skin design intrigues me, can you go into more detail on how the skinning engine will be implemented, I understand the XML will specify where images buttons etc will be placed and how they will react but how will the resources be stored for the program to access, in a property .extension package or in a folder where all images can be viewed and re-used by other people?

I may be the lead designer on the Nova Project but, Nexus interests me also.

I think what it's going to be is a folder where all files are viewable for easy skinning by users. I haven't been able to talk to Lee in a while but I'll try and talk to him this weekend to see how it would be designed.

I thought of the idea for XML skinning cause I want to see skins for this get as unique as the ones for Winamp (if possible)

Reality check buddy: you're 17.

I did and everyone ignored it?

I don't think that the skin has to be different, it has to be userfriendly and be able to match any theme.

they all look the same to me. they don't ned to be very different but the structure is always the same, why do you stick to that? just because the first skin came out that way, doesn't mean you need to do it exactly the same way for nexus to work. though, it's your skin, you do it as you wish.

Xero's concept had some great ideas on it, we don't need to rip off the design and i'm not saying to do it cause that would be wrong, but we could get some inspiration from it I guess.

that's what I think.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
