[wip] two messenger skins, iPod and an Untitled


Recommended Posts

Here are two messenger skins I have been working on.

This is my first skin, and I have been working on it for a few weeks. It doesnt have a title, probably because it doesnt really have a theme. I just wanted something more simple and clean than the stock messenger. It is pretty much done but I'd like to skin the icons still. The Handwriting/Text tabs also still need some work.

This one I started tonight, and I am very excited to work at some more. Currently only the sign-in window is skined (I know, thats the easiest part.... ) If you have any suggestions or comments please do so. The contact window is going to be hard, I plan to use the same look at the sign in window. Possibly move the contact list from the bottom to the top and put them in the "iPod" screen.

If anyone knows how to fix the height/width of the messenger window I would love to know how. I havn't seen it done though. So far the skin does scales okay, but not great. but i mean, its an iPod, who wants a full screen iPod?

Anyway, here's the screen:

Here is the Contact List, it still needs a lot of work, but you can see what it is going to look like. The "screen" resizes so you can read long names, etc...

I need to find a good place for the Display Pic, Display Name and Personal Message still. Anyone have ideas? I was thinkin about putting the display pic in the center of the scroll wheel. That is just where they ended up after moving the other stuff around.

    • You said "not great" but mentioned 2 positive experiences...
    • Finally some article that flips the script on the rage baiting, click baiting and hate mongering by Neowin in recent years. It works for you as a website, but it's completely wrong when considering real usage. Yes, it works just fine if you install it on unsupported machines with Rufus or Ventoy, no downsides.
    • 0 chance of that happening, forget it. Get it installed by some tech guy or do it yourself with the bypasses, that's how MS is being lenient and looking the other way to give users a chance.
