A list from me:

1. Smaller "small thumbnails" of contacts dp, maybe 2/4px bigger than the offical MSN skin

2. Contact closer together

3. No ad at bottom, that defeats the point of a skin

4. Make it look less "flat" differnt shades making it look 3D like the default msn skin

1. They seem to be in proportion with the rest of the skin

2. Personally i like the space between each contact, easy to read

3. It doesnt defeat a purpose of a skin, and you can take it out anyway, read the installation properly!

4. Personally i like how its flat, and the 2 tones of colours complement eachother very well

This is great and all but when you install the aqua blue one it doesn't get rid of the ads... it puts some smiley's ad there. The standard blue one does get rid of the ads... can u please fix this or at least tell me how to res hack it so I can have the aqua blue colour without the ads!!!!!!!!

people need to do a CLEAN install of Messenger version 7.0.0813. I assure you no trickery has been included. The option to remove ad's does indeed remove ad's provided you use a FRESH install of the latest version available at messenger.msn.com

I've tried everything mate.... this is what happens for me:

-Blue version = no ad

-Aqua Blue version = ad

How can I fix this?

what other options are you installing ? - Polygammy etc...

one other thing... did you do a repair of messenger before changing the colour ? the installer wasnt designed to go over an already patched version.

It's fresh.... the options I use are

-mess.be games

-disable nudge protection

-disable file transfer protection

-disable contact list ad

It just seems a little odd that it will remove the ad for Blue but will not remove the ad for Aqua Blue (Which is the colour I prefer)

im looking into it... its a problem with the installer so it shouldnt be that difficult to get fixed.

Thanks dude, do you mind PM'ing me when it's done because I REALLY like this skin... it happens to be the first MSN Skin I've liked enough to use.

Until ALL smiley central ads are removed i wont install this.. and it is a good skin too.

Good work!

It doesnt install any smiley central software on your computer. it is simply an ad. a graphic. if you dont want it read the installer carefully when installing.

I really love this skin.. I don't have any problem except for the aqua blue ad.

The rest is perfect.. the flat look is just a personal thing if u ask me. I love it the way it looks.

Mayb you should only fix the long contact name bug and other functional bugs. Mayb some mouseovers for the text which only changes the color. No need voor extra 3d stuff that will just take a way the smooth look of this skin and make it look more like the standard msn 7 look and that is just what we don't want :)

Great skin! :D

Finally ive managed to get it out the door, you've all seen screenshots and heard promising comments, but until now its been kept pretty quiet... Until now :) . Wave11 is a combination of everything ive learn about skinning messenger, and i hope all my hard work pays off. I suggest you have a CLEAN install of version 7.0.0813 before installing.

Wave11 comes in 6 colours, so there's something for everyone, you'll find a screenshot of the default blue Here.

Head on over to afizicalpresence to get your copy.

Spread the word as much as possible, but i ask you only link to www.afizicalpresence.com . We need traffic for future development so you'd be doing us a great favour.

Enjoy - The Unknown

The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
