Windows Live Messenger 8 Theme for Guifications
Download: Release 0.1 (2006-01-22)
Changes:
Version 0.1 (2006-01-22):
- initial release
Notes:
-
This theme comes with the default orange bar. In addition there is a folder that has all 12 of the
initial color options in WLM8. There are 3 bonus "colors" that I've thrown in to spur some creativity.
To use these extra colors, delete
color.pngthen copy and rename any of the images tocolor.png. - Windows Live Messenger 8 appears to have only two notifications, "sign on" and "message received." I have only updated the text for those two since they are the only ones with official text.
- Guifications does not support having text over multiple lines. With the buddy icon being where it is, it makes the text of the notifications quite short. Unfortunetly, there is nothing that can be done about this.
- With Windows Live Messenger 8, if the buddy does not have an icon the text is formatted without a buddy icon. Guifications does not support such logic and therefore the protocol icon will replace the buddy icon if no buddy icon exists.
