Well boys and girls its time for another release. Yes I have been busy all week to bring you guys a new skin design. It has been a while since I have made an original design for Messenger so I figured it was about time.

So the skin is called LTD. Why LTD? Well I was trying to come up with something that would describe what I wanted to do with the skin. LTD stands for "Love This Design", which is kind of what I want to happen. The skin was designed specifically for Messenger 9 so scenes work better than ever. For those wondering, yes dark colors work on this skin unlike Ev0.

So what does this skin have to offer? Well along with the usual settings, LTD has been designed compress down the look of 9 and offer something that is a bit more cleaner and functional. The display pictures have been simplified further and do not take as much space so you can fit more contacts in your list area.

Additionally the chat window has been transformed into a new layout where your text goes from one end of the window to the other. This gives you a lot more room to read and means you can have a shorter window but not sacrifice the reading area. You also have the option to switch back to the default style of chat window if you really want to, the options are all there.

Being the second skin in the designer series, I take great pride in this skin and it has been created with a lot of thought. Check it out even if you don't like white skins, you'll be surprised how quick it grows on you. I would have a darker version, but I found that a lot of the design didn't really work.

One of the other things you will notice is that I haven't bothered to touch Messenger Plus! Live like I did with Phunk'n. The reason is that its simply too tedious to do so and the skin would have been held back at least 2 more weeks if I did so. So I figured I'd rather have the skin released and when MP!L is less tedious to skin then I'll do it.

Anyway enjoy the release people and remember to leave a message either here or on our facebook page.

Peace, Willz.

Nice skins love light colors!

love the layout of the skin but the white is alittle too bright for me, and dont match the rest of my windows. none the less the layout is prob my fav yet.

Great skin, simple and clean exactly what I was looking for

This post wasn't this long originally But after finding some bugs (?) I thought I would post them here, so maybe they could be fixed.

#1
Looks great. But after applying the skin I'm unable to start any conversation...
SOLVED: This happens when you remove almost all options in the Chat window or maybe one of the ones I checked. Don't know if it's a bug but quite strange . Maybe you could have a look into it.
#2
In the skin options when you uncheck an object, in the skin it is activated. When you check it, the option is removed. You might want to state in the skin options "Check an option to remove it from the skin." Or something that looks like that .
#3
When selecting the original messenger icons, instead of your version of icons, the icon option in the chatwindow only shows arrows.
