How to Change Skins in New Yahoo Messenger 9?
The beta version of new Yahoo Messenger 9 has been available for quite some time now. The cool features of this Yahoo Messenger 9 include nice interface with aero like look. Though most of the options are much like what we had in version 8, the new features like watching online video (like from YouTube, Yahoo video, Google video and other online video files) within messenger box or chat window, sharing photos from flicker are really amazing.
As they have not changed any other interface like the dropdown menu and options or preferences, you may wonder how to change the skins in Yahoo Messenger 9. So, how do you change skins in Yahoo Messenger 9?

Near the options for minimize, maximize and close, you will another dot like symbol which is for personalizing Yahoo! Messenger with different skins. Just click that button and choose the skins that you prefer and you are done. The default skins from Yahoo Messenger 9 are Graffiti, Green fantasia, Icy Blue, Purple, Twinkle Pink, Violet Flame, and Wood.

If you still haven’t checked out the new messenger, you can download the Yahoo Messenger 9 beta. Also dont forget to checkout the new Yahoo Messenger for Vista.
