Amazing work. I installed the Orange version and WOW. Beautiful. Thank you very much.

[pinkchick]

I don't use messenger, but had to say congrats coz this looks very nice!

[Paulstorm]

I really dig it! I agree with some of the other responses that I wish there was more drop shadows or something around the window edge to make it pop a bit. It feels sorta flat and can be a bit difficult on the eye. *LOVE* the toast. Good stuff!

alright... this is gonna be a little lengthy so just give me a sec, but i hope to address any problems anyone is having, so here goes...

The extra space between contacts is caused by the rounded selection box, im pretty sure i made the gap as small as possible, but ill give it another look.

i must make an apology to those few people that did read the installer yet couldnt remove the banner, it seems the function that removes the banner works for 99% of people and for some reason the remaining 1% it causes problems, so im gonna have to do that a little differently.

Offline status for small DP's or no DP's in the CL it seems i over looked, if you check out the Large DP's in the contact list its quite clear so thats a problem im gonna have to fix.

Tabs i decided to remove because nothing i did made them look any good. However just after i released Wave11 i had an idea of how i can inlcude them, so expect tabs to return in my next verison.

The six colours ive included were only intended as a base for a first release, i didnt tell anyone but i intended to include extra colours in the next release, so if you've got any requests, open PS and give me a mockup of your desired colour. If your prepared to make that effort, ill consider including it in the next release.

I must ask, those people that wish to edit Wave11, please dont make your changes public, they are for your personal use only.

I finally saw what people meant by the Contact names in the To bar getting cut off today, so im gonna try and fix that but since this is in the original messenger and everything ive done dosnt look any better, im not sure how it'll turn out.

Currently if i left the background feature in the Convo window it would took terrible, but i plan to fix that up so backgrounds work again and look reasonable. But i cant imagine why you would use them, because unless it was a light shade of grey no background would fit the theme.

Ive also found a few extra thing that i missed, so those will get changed aswell. If you havent seen them up until now, dont worry they're purely for my satisfaction.

Finally, im trying to give people the option to simply change the colour without having to uninstall and re-install so i expect that also will be ready for the next release.

Thats it from me now, if ive missed anything please let me know, after this next release i dont intend make another until messenger gets updated so i need your help to make this release as good as possible.

i figure that the little star next to the contact when he/she update their spaces is not forking wiht this theme.. :p

[theunknown]

thats another feature i removed because it looked out of place. Ill try and find a way include them, but personally i think they're useless so it really depends how good i can make them look. I do have an idea tho... just came to me :) , you might see them back soon.

[EduardValencia]

great stuff,thx :)

[AionXn_]

VERY NICE!

i like that milk skin on your site too...if only someone made a easy way to switch between skins... :happy:

[cm_mc]

i dont know where you are planing to put the tab.. but i thnk it would bea great idea if you put them in the top like the e mail link or the msn today link.. in that row cuz other way would be like the "real" wave 11 pic we all saw.. witht eh semi trasparent colum for the tabs anyways your skin rocks!!!

[theunknown]

unfortunately the tabs have to be vertical... but i can change almost everything else about them. So i think you'll be pleased with what i have planned.

[eilegz]

i never used any skins but when i saw this one i give it a try and its amazing crongrats lets hope for more tweaking and patching options (like those one included in a-patch and mess patch).

[Draconian Guppy]

Wow this skin made me leave gaim and go back to msn messenger for a while, GOOD skinning !!!! :D :alien:

[crashguy]

Suggestions:

Overall i love the skin, but some things i'd like:

1. Mouse over changes on things such as the icons and emoticons in the contact window, also the icons on the main window.

2. Some skins without gradient effects. same colours, just no gradients.

3. Some dark grey skins.

[kombolcha]

i can't use the mess patch after :/

damn i wanted to use this skin..

[Alex_is_Axel]

excellent skin.. ive been waiting for this for so long! :)

Looks totally ace! :)

Alex :cool:

[:: Lyon ::]

Nice info on the latest post there dude.

Yea I agree with the spacing between contact names (I have quite some friends there, and the list just looks huge now because the spacing is too wide :))

But I don't like complaining and non-appreciative to your work. Other than that, I'd just say, keep up the good work !! Be waiting for your next update!

[theunknown]

this is obviousely something ive gotta spell out three times over. The MessPatch and patches like it simply cannot work with Wave11 (80% of features anyways). The ammount of stuff ive changed, and the way UIFILE's are for end users prevent patches like the MessPatch, A-Patch and Ghost from working. I know because i helped put the MessPatch together. Its for this reason I included the options in the installer, and its for the same reason i havent included extra options.

i quite frankly dont care if you dont wanna use the skin because you cant patch it, nor to i care if you think another skin is better. Im trying to help those 20000+ people that do make use of Wave11, to make the next release as good as possible for everyone. If i find a way to add extra options i will, but no ammount of complaining is gonna help that along.

@maulia and others like... i appreciate that kind of feedback, its people with constructive critisism that i want to hear from.

now... suggestions anyone :rofl: ?

[Damian]

I'm glad that people like this skin :)

[cm_mc]

first i wont get tired for saying this skin is WOW!

i have a "list" of things that i think it would make it nicer... and more Wave 11 :p i dont know if they can be done.. but at least im saying them :D

1)that my nickname looks bigger something like *pic1*

2) that my display pic looks bigger*pic1*

3)i think a thin border between the colors and give some shadow to mi nick would be great*pic1*

3)the space star( i know you told me there isnt cuz there is no space but i was thinking that maybe the conact display pic can ger brighter or somethign like that :p

4) and the tabs :)

im sorry if this makes you think im an @ss H0le but i think this things would make them look much better :p

this is exactly the kind of feedback i need to make Wave11 better, critisism with suggestions of how to improve. So if anyone has anymore, please let me know.

As for the suggestions, the gleam will return as will tabs. I have very little control over the nickname and DP, so im not sure i can do anything about that. And a little separator between colours, im not sure... ill see how it looks.

I like it, so im pretty confident you'll see it in a week or so. Ive had one request at mess.be, and a black-dark grey gradient, so ive got room for upto 5. But i need suggestions.
