Skype App UX Concept

Live Demo: http://kyleledbetter.com/skype/

Skype's UI/UX have bothered me for a while, so I decided to make a UX mockup. I've been designing in the browser for a couple of years now and I was thrilled to see @2metres coin the term #noPSD so this process can have a catchy name now :)

UX Highlights:
Calls: Test the green Video and Voice call buttons on:

Markdown: I've love to have markdown support in Skype so you'll (notice the markdown link above the text editor)

Files: I want an entire view for files so I don't have to hunt for them (hover over each row to reveal file related actions/buttons):

Links: much like Files, it would be nice to have a list of all the links shared in your conversations (hover on the first item and click the preview button to reveal an inline iframe preview):

What do you think? I plan on doing more #noPSD UX concepts for other popular products
