1. thank you montblanc for your comments

they're greatly appreciated

the more comments the more ambitious i become about updating the skin too =P
2. i'm actually working on re-releasing all 6 of the skins here with some graphical changes involving primarily transparency and the use of alpha channels as well as giving kind of a "dark matter" feel to the skin instead of a product that doesn't really suit it's title

(don't worry they're all gorgeous changes, and i'll include the files needed to revert if you wish =P). Also to note, i'm also throwing in my own version of a minimalistic skin that will attempt to literally crush amsn into practically nothing... the best way to describe it is really "how many times can you fold a piece of paper till it cannot be folded anymore?" lol (needless to say, it won't be as pretty as the minimalistic skins that are out as of right now, but it will be kind of along the lines of a SAFE FOR WORK project where all you can see is the bare essentials.)
3. your DL link at mediafire is down... which sucks cuz i'd really like to see them. mainly the problem for me is that if i don't know what something does because i don't use a specific feature of amsn i don't even bother making changes in that area. example: i bought a widescreen monitor and now i upped the BG rez to 1680-1050x respectively. So needless to say, this is greatly appreciated, i'll look into implementing what you've done into the next version with credit of course

but first and foremost, thou must fix thy broke ass link =P
ALSO, sorry to all those who enjoy my projects about the lack of screen shots... i know most of you are lazy like me and don't want to go through the trouble downloading the damn thing just to end up with a pile of crap =P
i've just decided not to bother with all that excess effort when i'm making contact list graphic changes that will totally put to shame the crap i would have shown you otherwise

so bear with me
