Ok so after Willz released Open Live I decided to finish a skin I was working on. I had already started this skin before Open Live was released and had the same amount of work done but Willz sets out everything so nicely and I am extremely lazy so I decided to use Open Live. Anyway my skin so far..



Was just searching for some thoughts and comments on the skin.
Love the buddies Tongue (lol I wonder why...Smile)

And you forgot to replace the add contact buddy.

Very nice, its clean and simple.

I would change the border colour of the scrollbar and the dot in the scrollbar. Change the default Skin Options button too. A Vista Control Panel button doesn't match well.

EDIT: I think you might've forgotten to replace the corner images.

Nice work Thumbs Up. I just hope more skins like this come out now that theres something to base skins off.

Nice Smile Love it, I'll defiantly download it once it's released.
Thanks for the nice comments. Yes Nagamasa believe it or not I actually knew about all of those things plus a few more =] Still a work in progress. I must say though that Open Live is a massive help when it comes to skinning.

Also I have one question.



I have the one image that spreads across the whole contact list, yet only up the top does the image distort when I resize. Is there a reason for this..? It does it in the chat window and the sign in window to.

Its because of the UMMargins set on the images. UMMargins define how the image is to be stretched. My recommendation is to set all 4 UMMargins for the windows background images to 1.

I like it, nice light colors Smile.
I like it , looking forward to it.
