it's a little known fact that Skype can be skinned. well, at least it can be when you're a mac users. Skype Styles Beta skype skin by ~LeMex is a complete redesign and is packed with features that aren't even supported in Skype by default. for example it has code recognition, quotes, a last links box, custom emotes and bookmarks to name but a few.

the time and effort that went into this skin is evident throughout any detail and besides, it looks just marvellous. a definite musthave!!
