ICQ Plus allows you to change the appearance of ICQ. When installed,
ICQ Plus integrates with ICQ by adding a menu item to the main menu.
Choosing this menu item brings up a dialog which lets you configure
ICQ's appearance in several ways. You can apply a predefined skin or
create one yourself. ICQ Plus also allows you to change the appearance
of individual features as well. You can change background images of dialog
boxes (BMP, JPEG, and GIF images are supported), change the main menu image,
set your own animated GIF or AVI file instead of standard ICQ animation,
and change the style of dialog boxes, buttons, other controls,
and individual dialog box settings. Skin files can be imported and exported
via ZIP file. ICQ Plus also has multi-user and multi-ICQ support.
Our Review: An excellent skin manager for the ICQ chat program that also allows you to customize the interface configuration to your own needs. Comes with 3 skins (you can download more), that all make ICQ look a lot less sterile. Works with both past and present versions of ICQ, and allows you to access its fuctions directly via the ICQ interface. This latest release introduces the ability to simply double-click on a new skin file (from within Windows) and have it automatically applied to your ICQ window.
