Messenger Plus Live Skin Making Documentation

Messenger Plus! Skins
1

After a thread about a so-called “google talk skin” made me facepalm on the inside, I went on the wayback machine to find if there was any skin making documentation. And apparently, there is.

Now, even though this documentation is from mid-2010 (so, during the time of '09), this documentation should apply to 8.5 (don’t remember much for 8.1).

Kids, a Messenger Plus skin isn’t just changing the background into a jpg you found on Google Images and calling it a day. No no, there’s other factors in making a skin.

hope it’s easy so i can do a pesterchum skin!

oh god no.

Pesterchum’s layout is completely different, it won’t look accurate.

Oh…like why not a classic msn 7.5 skin!

5

…yeah that wouldn’t exactly work if you’re going to use the plus way.

The plus way only works on 8.x and '09.

i meant, why not a wlm 09’ skin based on msn 7.5.

It would be easier if you made the skin for 8.5.

8

Oh.

The version of Messenger Plus! that works on MSN 7.5 doesn’t support skinning.
