This is a really great looking skin. Gods do I hate the default interface. Now if you could just make one for the Auction House. ;)
There's one spot that could use a color tweak if it's possible. When you visit a quest-giver who has multiple quests, the quest selection pops up. The text is black and makes it tough to read against this skin. Is there a way you can lighten that text?

The AH is skinned, maybe you have another addon that is interfering... mobile frames for example is one of them, when it's installed oSkin isn't skinning the AH correctly.
The GossipFrame (Quests) was black text first, I posted my changes for yellow text and they are in the svn too today.
The Social-pane still hasn't got it's blessing. I know I mentioned it on Page 8 (poor art at the top of page 9), but I guess it's good to remind about it.
Also, could you add support for Extended Quest Log? It's such a cool addon, it's too bad it doesn't have support by these cool skins yet.
Well I'll be darned, didn't know the ChatFrames would be so hard to get skinned. Whenever I try i end up like this (and I havent even messed with the Tabs yet at the top).
Ok here is a small update, I have the tabs at least skinned (even if they are off center and not touching the ChatFrame) but now I can't seem to get rid of the Combat log's border :(, the ChatFrame1 doesn't have the border *pulls out hair*
I skinned the chatframes some time ago, and pretty much came to the same conclusion you did. Ended with writing a custom skin method for them.
As it is now tho, my monitor is broken so I can't do anything. The new one I ordered will, hopefully, arrive tomorrow.
My UI doesn't look exactly like this anymore, can't take a new shot tho due to the monitor >_<, but you see the chatboxes at least: (and EavesDrop, I've changed how it looks since then as well tho)
Here's the code if anyone cares, didn't do anything about the tabs as I never have them visible.
local _G = getfenv(0)
function oSkin:ChatFrame()
local i;
for i=1,7 do
if(_G["ChatFrame"..i]) then
self:removeRegions(_G["ChatFrame"..i])
self:skinChatBox(_G["ChatFrame"..i])
end
end
end
function oSkin:skinChatBox(frame)
frame:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
frame:SetBackdropBorderColor(self.db.profile.BackdropBorder.r or 0, self.db.profile.BackdropBorder.g or 0, self.db.profile.BackdropBorder.b or 0, self.db.profile.BackdropBorder.a or 1)
frame:SetBackdropColor(self.db.profile.Backdrop.r or .2, self.db.profile.Backdrop.g or .2, self.db.profile.Backdrop.b or .65, self.db.profile.Backdrop.a or .9)
if not frame.tfade then frame.tfade = frame:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER") end
frame.tfade:SetTexture("Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground")
frame.tfade:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", frame, "TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
frame.tfade:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", frame, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0)
frame.tfade:SetBlendMode("BLEND")
frame.tfade:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL", .25, .25, .65, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1)
end
hmm that code gives me this error when i paste it into its own file and add it to the .toc to load
[2006/09/12 06:35:57-89]: oSkin\\core.lua:57: attempt to index field `db' (a nil value)
oSkin\\core.lua:57: in function `applySkin'
oSkin\\ChatFrame.lua:12: in function `ChatFrame'
oSkin\\ChatFrame.lua:16: in main chunk
In my own custom UI addon, which works in a fashion similar to oSkin, I ended up having to create frames for each chatframe and each chatframe tab, parent them out to the appropriate tab, then set their position using SetPoint.
In other news... It would be nice to have a built-in option to get normally sized group loot frames back (since on my display, they're unreadably tiny) and the strata or level of the tabs on most of the screens needs to be changed, as they're currently appearing hidden behind unitframes.
Personnaly i tried to skin only the chat tabs, to have them always appear in Interface, while chat frames remain "invisible" on the oSkin Bottombar.
Can someone please give me the way to do that ?
thank you all ^^
oSkin polymorphed my UI, i love it now :p
Same here too ^^

I have mobile frames enabled and I go it to work pretty easily. Just do a /oskin and disable the AH mod, then enable it the same way.
Worked for me :)
Getting major lag in most recent version... disabling it, all is smooth agian. gunna try to delimit parts of it to see if it has effect
