oh...but I do have one suggestion, you know in the message window where all the option is at the top?...like..invite, send file etc?...I somehow find it a bit....crowed...you think you can spread them out a bit more?...;)

yeah or make the icons smaller and maybe an option to remove games,block and color buttons??

thanks very much for a great theme.

Sorry to make this request, especially since you've been smart enough to make variations, but I'd love a grey one.

Oh one other thing.

I dont like the MSN Butterfly icon.

It would be much nicer if you could use the MSN Messenger icon but in the same White style.

alright pardon the crap mockup as it's 3.30am

Here is what I would like to see.

I would like a small little circle on the top left (so you specifically click on it to make the toolbar show or not)

A light grey version with very light if no gradient at all.

(perhaps a darker border around the window.

I'd like to remove the Smiley advert since the checkbox to remove it didn't work.

Please add a spaces icon.

Please change the butterfly icon to the white msn man.

see where the email icon is? I wish that area was a closer shade to the top area as the different in color is a bit too much.

as mentioned by someone else, offline people dont show in small icon mode.

Oh this is one SUPER request that I would die for.

You know the avatars in the chat window? By default they are open. I would love it if they were closed.

So I have to click them to open them if I wanted to see it.

Guess those are my suggestions.

The Unknown, you're skin is great.

edit:

oooh ooh what about two white versions, one with a grey border, one with just a white border.

That way it could look like it's part of the wallpaper.

i really like the actual white butterfly

when i saw the wave 11 concept pic last year i did this website www.cmmcxclusive.cjb.net it was supposed to be my blog but i quit it... with brings me to the roll overs.. i dont know is it would look nice.. but put the mouse over the links on my site.. maybe some effect like that one :s

I'm talking about the Start bar. Near the clock.

That colourfull butterfly.

It would be nicer if that was an MSN Man (white style)

"The butterfly does that already"

Actually the whole area from the butterfly to MSN Messenger does that. It would be nice if the top area had it's own indicator.

Hi theunknown,

Man it has been a while since we last chatted via IM...lol How I too missed this thread...

Your hard work and dedication on your fine 'skinning/latest project' is always appreciated my friend as I have been following your work since the very, very early beginnings @A-S...

You are handeling all/most requests/possible future features with tact and diplomacy and that is to be admired...

Cheers Mate, and I will make an attempt to briefly touch base with you via IM, hope that all is well!

:yes: ;)

P.S. Congrats on your new website...

This skin actually made me want to try MSN again after years, the default look is just plain ugly... I second the request for less space between contacts in the contact list. Otherwise I can't think of anything I'd like to change, although I'm sure there will be more improvements coming!

I haven't used MSN much (using Miranda 90% of the time) so here are two ultra-noob questions:

1) How does everyone get MSN to display just its own skin and not draw a window around it? I always have a real window (using my VS) around the contact list, whereas you guys don't, judging by the screenshots.

2) Where do I find the new 'Handwriting' thingy? I'm guessing it's not the same as 'Whiteboard'?

I'd quite like to see a more neutral version, without the colours. Like the message window area between toolbars and the status bar, but spread across the whole skin.

I like the colours, but they clash a bit against Foton and Antimatter. Personal preference though, if its too much work (ie a lot more effort than desaturating and filling some images in Photoshop) then don't worry about it. I just think its an awesome skin and I'd like to keep using it.

I'm a ###### for monochrome.

@daydream nation: Click the msn butterfly logo on the top of conversation windows, and also the contact list to toggle titlebars.

hey, first, i just have to say, I LOVE U MAN! this skin rocks! thnx dude!

ok, here follows my wishlist (if things have been mentioned before, im mentioning them again :D )

1) is there a way u can program a drop down menu thing for u to easily change the colour sheme without having to reinstall?

2) could u maybe use more wave 11 icons for the actual program? (ie taskbar icons and the like), i have some .pngs from somewhere of the wave11 logo if u need them, u could easily make m icons and even customise m. oh, and in the conversation windows, really good try at emulating those icons (invite, activities, webcam etc.) but some just dont fit, i really like the webcam one tho!

3) y didnt u make a new .jpg for the about window? y not graffiti it? uve done a smashing job! take credit!

4) im finding it really difficult telling if peeps in my buddy list r online or not, maybe u could colourise the different statuses?

otherwise, brilliance! :woot:

erm... if i think of anything else, i'll be sure to let u know, laturz

just to add one more request. What about a brushed metal one.

It'd be nice to make it look like iChat.

585905208[/snapback]

srry folks, me again,

iChat style? brushed metal? Are there not enough cheap ichat knock-off skins? this is based on the next win version, and has nuthin to do with apple. personally, i dont think it would look all that good, as all the buttons r white etc. etc.

Anyways, that's just my five cents worth. toodles

Been using the skin since it was first released and I'm still loving it, even though there're some bugs that others have already reported, i.e.: the name-cut off... but there're couple things that I hope could be there in the next release:

1) "The Gleam", like one other poster said, is missing... and I hope you can have it in the next version

2) After couple days of using it, I realized that the select-then-add customize emoticon feature is no longer there... I'm not sure if it's just a bug or something, but hopefully it'll be back too

3) Like in one of mine earlier posts and like some others have said, I hope the sys-tray icon will be changed to the one of the official wave11 butterfly.

OK, those are just my ideas, and I agree with others' recommendations as well... Awesome skin, hopefully it'll be better! :)

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
