HOW TO USE:

1. Extract the downloaded RAR file.
2. Run the .msi file from the extracted folder.
3. Run Yahoo! Messenger and change the skin from "Messenger -> Change Skin..."

I hope you all will like this theme as you liked all my previous themes.
Please give your valuable feedbacks.

BBThumbHealer · 14-07-2007, 04:39 PM

ax3 · 14-07-2007, 04:54 PM

superb frd ........ hope u post a tut 2 .......... plz ..........

gxsaurav · 14-07-2007, 07:47 PM

Got my monitor, so using the skin & it looks sweet.

Vishal, can u re-release a Vista specific version fo this skin? This is not matching on Windows Vista with the enviroment. Here is a mock which I just made in Photoshop. If I post the icons can u make a new version for Vista with those icons? Let me know which format u need the icons in. BMP or PNG

Change the menubar text, Menu text & toolbar icons text to 12 Segoe UI.

The RGB Value of that Violet colour is 215 222 240

When used in Windows Vista, the skin is good. But not perfect, lets make it perfect if thats ok with u.

Vishal Gupta · 14-07-2007, 08:27 PM

Text size can't be changed and same case with icons.

I hv tried my best in this skin. Actually its not very customizable. Everything is limited. If I get more time, then I may look into more possibilities.

Nope, Text Size, Text face & Text colour all can be changed by modifying the values in the xml file.

Icon size cannot be changed, but the text size & face below the icons can also be changed using the XML file.

If u permit, after my exam tomorrow, i will post a modified Vista only version of this skin with some changes.

Actually, I am already using such version of Maverick Blue, just that I needed the Window Manager theme which u provided.

Vishal Gupta · 14-07-2007, 09:32 PM

OK. I got it wrong and U can post the modified theme.

gxsaurav · 14-07-2007, 09:39 PM

ok, will post my modification in few days.

saurabh kakkar · 14-07-2007, 09:40 PM

thanks buddy nice work

gxsaurav · 15-07-2007, 02:09 PM

Ok, changing the icons is a tough task cos Yahoo Messenger for Windows is using Magic Pink & BMP

The toolbar icon text size is hardcoded I guess, still looking though

I finalised the font all over. Not much changed, just using Segoe UI + better for size, Some modification is till needs to be done.

Now changing the colour of some BMP like that of buttons etc. Vishal, you are resource hacker, why not use the standerd Windows button bitmaps instead of yahoo's button bmp for buttons like "Cancel" etc

Download the full theme so far. Use it on Windows Vista only

gxsaurav · 17-07-2007, 12:31 AM

Hey vishal, is there some registry or resource hack to remove the "search the web" field from the top of messege Windows? It looks out of place

latest version, work is still under way. Download the latest version, to be used on Windows Vista only

amol48 · 18-07-2007, 08:36 PM

you rock dude...

virus_killer · 19-07-2007, 12:38 AM
