Enhanced Live Messenger

The design of this skin, compatible only with WLM 8.5, is an up-date to the default Windows Live Messenger design. If you like the default look, but hate the stretched images; or hate the default look, but don't wish to use another skin, this one may be for you.

Other Languages:

I am currently un-able to have option panels successfully translated to include your native language. However, if someone out there wishes to offer help on this matter please read this topic.

Screenshots

I dare say you wish to have a little nosey at the skin before downloading.

Registry Files:

These .reg files are for the advertisements. Download and use them at your own discretion.
