Yahoo Skins

 

Welcome to my Yahoo! Messenger skins page.

What are Messenger Themes? - Messenger Themes allow you to change the look of your version of Yahoo! Messenger by customizing the graphics for your buttons, online status, and background.

What do I need to use Messenger Themes? - To use themes in Yahoo! Messenger, you need to have the newest version of Yahoo! Messenger. Go to the Messenger Home Page and grab the latest version.

To Install:

1.) Open the Skins folder for Messenger. Most times you can find it in: C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\skins\

2.) NOTE: Each skin needs its own folder.

3.) Create a NEW folder, naming it the name of the Skin.

4.) Click on the skin you want, download the zip file.

5.) Open the zip file and save each file to the folder you created for that specific skin.

6.) Now if you go to Preferences, you should see the new Theme name listed in the list of Themes.

You can match to the color of the frame to the theme. You can do this through windows. The frame takes the color of your windows display setting. So to change it you need to go into your settings, select control pannel, select display, select appearance, then select a scheme, if you want to change the color still further, then select 3D objects, click on the color box and change the color. This will give you thousands of color choices if you want to co-ordinate with your skins. Enjoy!
