The problem with the skin, you are refering to, is that he isn't allowed to release it under GPL since he is using apple-graphics...

EDIT:

@russelc: it's a great skin! Sorry, I forgot to answer your PM... but I see you don't need my help anymore :p

yeah, haha i figured things out for myself. also, i'm not using any of the graphics that came with the original skin, only the code. so i suppose it would be fine since i'm releasing the code? (obviously) :p

i just have a few small things to add to the skin then i'll be done :)

I noticed that the title bar has sharp edged corners while the contact list area has round corners. Is it possible for you to release the skin with the squared corners as an option?

Nevermind if you can't be bothered...thought I'd ask anyway :)

Looking forward to the release!

i don't quite understand what you mean by 'sharp edged corners' :p ..they're 2px rounded corners (on the titlebar) and the inside is the normal base. as the titlebar variation is basically the "slick" style but with a titlebar and stuff with it :p

Whoops my bad...erm...what I mean is that the corners of the title bar are not quite as curved as the contact list (your original list without the title bar) so it looks a tad funny imo.

Hope that makes more sense :D

ah, ok i understand now. it was made to be like this :p ..if i made the outer frame just as curved, it would look strange and if i made the inside frame less curved, there wouldn't be enough variation. hope that doesn't put off the whole skin for you though ;)

Not at all! It's definetely the best modern clist skin I've seen out there along with Jim Phelp's one although he's not releasing it.

The Vista Aero Glass one just isn't as cool :no:

Am I the only one who experiences problems with the new version of Modern Contact List Layered? As soon as I put the .dll into the plugins directory, Miranda doesn't start anymore. I get this error message:

AppName: miranda32.exe AppVer: 0.4.0.1 ModName: clist_modern.dll

ModVer: 0.3.1.216 Offset: 000450f5

Does anybody know what to do? :unsure:

I had this problem too but it was because I'd changed the folder structure for my modern clist skins.

I went back to v.215, selected the skin I wanted, then put v. 216 into the plugins folder.

Already been released? Linky  :whistle:

586660900[/snapback]

Yes well I wasn't expecting it so soon as we'd been only just been discussing it earlier today ;)

Am already using it but it's not looking as good as the previews posted a page or two ago :no:

When I say that nothing happened, I mean that nothing changed. It all looks exactly the same. wth?
.

Now that Russellc has finally released his skin, try downloading clist modern if you haven't already got it. You may need to get the imagedecoder.dll as well. You can get all of this here

As before, once you've put clist_modern in the plugin folder it needs to be enabled in Options->Plugins

Restart Miranda

Then download russellc's skin, unzip it.

Then go to Options->Customize->Skin->Browse and select any .msf file.

Anybody, how do I use the .msf file?

586661002[/snapback]

See my post above re .msf files

For everyone having problems with ModernClear:

-Make sure you have clist modern - preferably the latest build

-May help to have imagedecoder.dll - needs to be in your Plugins folder also

-Clist-modern must have a tick next to it in Options->Plugins

-You'll then need to restart Miranda

You may not see anything at first because once you've restarted Miranda a skin hasn't been selected yet.

So right click on Miranda's try icon to get to Options so that you can select your skin.

zachacham - does Miranda crash with ModernClear only or for all other modern clist skins?
