Yes, images has a little bit more of Saturation... agree that should have
less.
When deleted the box images speeds up way faster the skin, is why i did.
About the state colors of the buddies, is like latest WLM does, and i think
is pretty more simple than adding an extra icon next to the
No, I wasn't talking about the buddy icons, I was talking about the color of
the nicknames! Just the fact that the text gets colored depending on the
state! That's why I said black :p Yes the images should have less
saturation, but the text also should be more subtle...
Also, WLM doesn't color

Hi Montblanc
Btw we need to have always a default skin to avoid problem with the code...
Then the user can choose/download every skin he just wants...
We already talked about a wizard but the ideas doesn't like to everyone, the
same for Did You Know?

Should we make a

There are many people that rate software after their first look, so if they

Ok, well my opinion is this :
1 - Ship only one skin.. adding more skins will just make our download file
bigger, no need for that when users don't care.
2 - I don't like the minimal skin, I tried it, and it's dead ugly, I do not
believe that it represents aMSN properly! It is also a skin based
The one I asked/wrote on top of these emails... you need some glassed KKRT

If users/devs/whatever wants to include the improved Sapphire skin, just

be released

well, technically, that wasn't a question, it was a conditional statement...

Excuse me but I couldn't avoid listening to your conversation... :P I
think defaulting to Minimal and/or adding a Welcome wizard to let
users set the most common preferences and skin should be the best
compromise. For example, they could choose between Sapphire (no need

Hello Gustavo (nice name, in italian is a verb...) [?]
So i do some work for the skin, in your case i want to inform you that i
added some new options in setting.xml
In particular i added groupbox by default is 1 and it means draw the
internal of groupbox, if it is 0 it ignore box_boby left
Ok great, but anyway i've deleted those image from the new Skin (still svg
sources exist as well...). I dont think that someone wants to have a cpu
hunger skin in aMSN... :P
Good work. I must update the svn of amsn...
Cheers.

I'd prefer user option because a skin option it's a little bit hided... the

edit the xml skin file... and it's not simply for all

I don't know what is better. It depends from user... if he has many users or
not, if he likes an eye candy skin or a light skin... so personally i don't
know.
But maybe a poll should be: do you want to put a skin wizard? do you want
put in amsn both skins and then the user chooses? For you what
No, options is not a good idea... I think the user must have a fast skin,
that's it... what makes it so slow is the fact that we have that many
options to check everytime we're drawing...
The most CPU consuming processes I think are :
1 - dealing with transparency.. so alpha blending in images
We should either update the skin, or change the skin...
I suggest a vote...
Changing the skin (to the minimal skin) :
pros :
Much faster aMSN!!!
Smaller binary size
cons :
Not the same eye candy..
Users don't like stuff that change too much...
I don't vote yet as I don't know...
