MemberI thought about returning to the YM skinning community but before i make that decision i had a few questions. I am downloading the Beta as we speak and before i dive into the XML i was wonding about a couple very important questions.
1.) Biggest questions I have is since the Beta release, is the background of the main window of Ymessenger able to be changed as far as color yet?
2.) What changes or options if any have been added to the XML for more customization with skins?
Your thoughts would be helpful. Im sure i will find the answers myself but before i bothered going through the XML i thought i would ask first.
Some older skins of mine if you wish to view can be found below

1) Yes, I had to update my skin for messenger 6 because on messenger 7 the background of the friends list was all the sudden changed to a dark color. Turns out it was really ugly with it, and the white background was a lot better!
2) You’d have to ask Toebee on that one…he’s real into that part 🙂

There are a few new images relating to the new call features and photo sharing however, and these have their own entries in the xml. Check out one of Yahoo’s default skins after you download beta and you’ll see what I mean.
All the version 6 skins work on beta for the most part, just the new images won’t be skinned. There’s really not a whole lot of changes.

Seems as though i have decided to start atleast one skin and just kinda play around just to see what it is you can do. Keep your eyes open. -
