Well I have received a few emails on the topic of a mysterious white box appearing randomly whilst using some of my skins and I thought I'd speak out on it just to let people know whats up with it.
Firstly, no its not a bug related to my skins (or Messenger Plus! for that matter), this seems to be a problem on Microsoft's end of things (because it appears even when you have no skins applied). What is happening at the moment is that people will randomly get a white box appear under their display picture container.
So what's up with it ? For those of you that have yahoo contacts this will make a bit more sense. When you talk with a contact that is on the yahoo network you will notice a small yahoo symbol appear under the display picture. By the looks of things Microsoft is making updates to this part of Windows Live Messenger by having an image appear there for another purpose.
There is a lot of theory going around as to what this could be, but at the moment nothing is certain. The box has seemed to disappear now (at least for me), but if people do start getting it again then you don't have to worry about it. Just ignore it and it should hopefully go away within the next few days.
If it doesn't go away well that just means I'll have to release an update to my skins that does make it go away
(well depending on what exactly it is of course)
