Facebook skin for Messenger 8.5 will let you change your Windows Live Messenger interface into the familiar blue and white colors of Facebook.

If you use Windows Live Messenger a lot, it's easy to get tired of seeing the same colors over and over again for hours on end. Facebook skin for Messenger 8.5 gives you the opportunity to turn your drab instant messaging client into something much cooler.

Facebook skin for Messenger 8.5 has fantastic details that make your chat client look just as though you're browsing through Facebook. Your online status looks just like a Facebook status bar, sitting right next to your profile picture, which is actually your chat avatar. Online buddies still show up with the familiar green MSN icon next to them, which somewhat breaks the effect. Otherwise, the details are superb, and continue from your buddy list into the actual chat box when you're talking to someone.

Unfortunately, Facebook skin for Messenger 8.5 is only compatible with Windows Live Messenger 8.5, substantially limiting your ability to actually enjoy this fantastic little skin.

Facebook skin for Messenger 8.5 is a realistic looking skin for Windows Live Messenger that'll make you feel as though you're logged into your Facebook account instead of the chat client.

In all honesty, Winamp Media Player 11 Skin isn't revolutionary. It gives Winamp a gentle blue tone, and changes the buttons so that they do indeed resemble Microsoft's default player a little more closely. Unfortunately, however, that's where the similarities end.

Let's face it, no one uses Winamp for its looks. That said, Winamp Media Player 11 Skin is hardly a change, and although the blue color is pleasant, it would take a lot of convincing to persuade anyone that Winamp Media Player 11 Skin will turn Winamp's looks into even a distant relative of Windows Media Player.

Winamp Media Player 11 Skin turns the media player a nice shade of blue, but not much else!

To install the skins, simply unzip the contents of the file to the program's skin folder, usually in C:\Program Files\AIMP2\Skins, and then select them from within AIMP 2.

VLC Skin Editor lets you join in, but be warned, it's not an easy process. As well as being creative, you'll need patience! To get going you need to install both the editor and also the Java Runtime Environment. It's far from intuitive so check out the 'extras' above for an online tutorial - it's very necessary!

Before you create your skin you have to make PNG images for it with an external image editor (eg: GIMP), as VLC Skin Editor only allows you to add the various player attributes to the skins, not create the graphics. The step by step tutorial is pretty clear, but to get to a working skin will take quite a lot of work.

It's good to see an attempt at opening up skin design to a broader audience, but this is still far from a user friendly experience.
