Skins for Windows Live Messenger [UPDATED: 12/12/07]


Recommended Posts

Windows Live Messenger 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, and 9.0 ALPHA

Here we go again, skins for Windows Live Messenger are starting to appear, some are good, and some are, well, bad. However I've been searching the web for a while and I've found a decent list. Remember there are not as many skins now as skinning Messenger has become a lot more difficult, nevertheless there is a good selection you can choose from. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: How To intsall skins

That link is dead.

Indeed it is. We just moved over too the new version of the website which this list comes from. We're in the proccess of updating the guide and putting our tutorial system up. I'll let you know when it's fixed. Thanks for the report :).

I'm using 8.5 and the majority of 8.1 skins work, I haven't had the chance to beta test them all. I'll let you know which ones work and which ones don't, I'll make a list. But Bluesky, Vista, and ev0 seem to all work :).

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
    • Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
