What happened to the theme pack icon in Windows Messenger 8.1?

Hi,

Has anyone noticed that the Theme Pack icon button on WL Messenger 8.0 (the
last icon) is missing in 8.1? Will this be a permanent change, because I
really like this feature? It will be a shame for Microsoft to discontinue
this feature.

The feature is still present within Messenger. Reasons you may no longer see
it may be because you have physically changed Messenger using a hex patcher
e.g. A-Patch or Mess Patch. However toolbar buttons do disappear when the
service is experiencing troubles. So if the services supporting the packs
feature is down in your area, the icon will disappear. In this case all you
can do is wait .

You care correct this was removed with 8.1. You can still access packs of
content through the other drop downs (emoticons, winks, backgrounds). Check
out the various content providers some still have packs with all types of
content you can download.

Cheers
Nicole
