Windows 7 / Windows Live 2009
******** THIS SKIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED ********
As of August 12, this skin is the default skin for Digsby (build 61). Check out the Digsby blog post for more information.
Download the newest build of Digsby to get the updated skin. While this version will still be available, it will no longer be supported. Thanks for all the downloads over the past 9 months!
Skin Description:
Finally, a Windows 7 theme has come to Digsby! This theme emulates the new User Interface found in the Windows Live 2009 suite of applications and the Windows 7 desktop.
This is the first Windows 7-based theme available for Digsby. Any questions, suggestions, or bugs? Let me know!

Has one important issue
This skin re-defines the AppDefaults section of the skin which causes the general+profile and conversations pages of preferences to not load properly.
this issue will be fixed in a future version of the program but skins aren't supposed to override that section anyway...
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for downloading and providing feedback for this theme. Would you mind creating a bug report for the issue and possibly provide screenshots of the problem somehow?
Thanks a ton
the newest version of this
the newest version of this skin having problem with Digsby Preferences windows which will not open Profile and Conversations tabs properly.
Re: problem
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't seen this problem before. Could you submit a bug report with a little more information?
Thanks!
Cause of the preference bug
The preferences loading issue is caused by a issue with the AppDefaults section of the skin.yaml, just delete that section and the skin should run fine. We should be filtering that out of custom skins so people can't change those, but we don't yet, it's on the todo list ^_^
Fixed
This SHOULD be taken care of with the 1.0.2 release. I never had the problem myself, but the AppDefaults section was removed.
Font names?
I think some of the font names are incorrect. Some of them are "Segooe UI" when they should be "Segoe UI".
I believe this is all of the keys that need to be changed:
Menu:
Font: Segoe UI 8
MenuLite:
Font: Segoe UI 8
BuddiesPanel:
Fonts:
AddAccountsLink: Segoe UI
ComboBox:
Font: Segoe UI
StatusComboBox:
Font: Segoe UI
ToFromBar:
Font: Segoe UI
SendBar:
Font: Segoe UI
Tabs:
Font: Segoe UI
sorry about the formatting, but just imagine that it keeps indenting until a blank line ;-p
Re: Font Names
Thanks a lot. I don't think they caused any problems with the skin, but I appreciate your help. This will be changed in a future release.
Very Nice!
This theme is very well done!
Not only does is do a great job of duplicating the Windows Live experience, but it's obvious you've spent a great deal of time with the graphics to make them look right.
Although I've only just installed it and glanced through it, my only initial "feature request" is to determine if it's possible to color the buddy icon boxes based on status (ie, green, red, orange frames) the way Windows Live Messenger does.
Thanks!
I'm glad you like the skin. As much as I would like to change the color of the frames, that particular feature isn't supported by the skinning system for Digsby. It could be something that would be added down the road, but right now it just isn't possible to implement.
That is a really nice vs VG,
That is a really nice vs VG, to apply the vs faster, you can always use tuneup utilities, i like the whole task bar too.
