Don't know anything about it Tim.
If you're handy with graphic tools, like PhotoShop, Paint Shop Pro & others you can always create one yourself.
Maybe PSI knows how to create a skin, as that information was lost when moving to this new forum.

That is last updated in 2001, but maybe could be a good start.

It's really not too difficult, once you get the hang of it. I liked the way Outlook 2003 looked but hated the bloated slowness of it. So I created a skin to make Pocomail look like Outlook 2003(in blue) complete with same buttons, as well as an extra 2 buttons for "Junk" and "Not Junk" spam buttons.

Question for those in the know, is there any way to set the color of the main menu bar(ie. File Edit...) as well as the highlight color used in the mailbox list panel(it's a purpleish color now for me)?

Unfortunately no - they both use Windows default colours at the moment...

Thanx. Any plans for this to change in 4.0?

If the purpleish colour you mean is the one I think you mean, it can't be changed using the Customize>Colours option, but I discovered it can be changed by editing an ini file.

If your skins "default.ini" file has a section in it that starts with [Skin] then in that section there may or may not be a line that says:

HiddenSelBack= [some number here]

Changing that number will, at least in my experience with Poco 3, change the colour of the highlight in the mailbox list screen. If there is not a line that says that in the skin's default.ini, have a look in poco.ini and you'll probably find it in there under a section headed [Skin]. It's a while since I created my skin, but I think I found that line in poco.ini and just tried copying it into default.ini and then changing the number, and discovered it worked.
