black.ops Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Dayle, mind adding me to your msn or giving me yours so that I can discuss something with you?

DayleRees Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 using the gui to select conversations is optional, you can choose to use the windows taskbar... its just for those who wish to save taskbar space. the amounts of conversation windows should effect the resource usage greatly. Hope that answers your questions :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/4/#findComment-585472824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
black.ops Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) Here is a little teaser of my skin so far (about 1-2 hours put into it so far) Still a few bugs and glitches to work out (somethings are off by like .25 pixels, it's hard to fix :cry: ) and im still not sure that his engine can support this. Any criticism is welcome as it is my first skin. :happy: Edited February 15, 2005 by Blax Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/4/#findComment-585472883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any criticism is welcome:happy:: 585472883[/snapback] Looks real good(Y)) I'd suggest you use a better background (wallpaper) to show off its transparency. As in that screenie, the tabs etc., are hard to read. edit: Nice !:drool:: Edited February 15, 2005 by jerry Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/4/#findComment-585472915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

black.ops Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) Changed the background. I haven't done anything to the font yet, it will all be sorted out if I the skin is even possible. And I have to fix the little clipping with the tabs and main interface (look closely) Edited February 15, 2005 by Blax Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/4/#findComment-585472944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayleRees Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Blax that glass theme is very nice, but unforunately its not possible :( When making something semi transparent, all of the window will be semi transparent, even the middle part... you can only choose which parts are true transparent, i.e can see directly thru the window. Sorry bud :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/4/#findComment-585473024 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I'm liking these skins that I'm seeing. Is there ANY sort of indication when we might get to preview at least some of the code?

Korben_Dallas Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 It's .Net correct? Feature request: RSS - Not just .Net Alerts. Oh, and while your at it, P2P :whistle: I like the style - let's hope you all make something that's not just Form over Function or vice versa. Synergy, elements working together to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Daniel Tablas Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) :wacko: I was just thinking, if people make their own skins because the program is skinable wouldn't designing the skin for future versions be useless? Because I was thinking like MSN is actually a huge thing when the look is changed but if it's fully skinable people wouldn't care about the original skin and just go download some other skin. :yes: Edited February 15, 2005 by dadan121 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/4/#findComment-585475038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
