This is how to change MSN7 background. by StoleN.GuitaR on 10-10-2004 at 03:23 AM

GOTO PAGE 4 FOR THE COMPLETED WORKING CODE
StoleN.GuitaR's reply to This is how to change MSN7 background.

Using ResHack, in UIFILE #923(of msnmsgr.exe), look for this part.

code:
buddylist
{
Accessible: true;
AccRole: 33;
AccState: 0;
background: window;
animation: log | alpha | mediumslow | delayshort;
alpha: 255;
}

take it and edit it to the following,

code:
}
buddylist
{
Accessible: true;
AccRole: 33;
AccState: 0;
background: rcbmp(XXX,1,#000000,XXX,XXX,0,0);
animation: log | alpha | mediumslow | delayshort;
alpha: 225;
}

the bolded parts are the parst you adjust,
the first one is the BITMAP_ID number,
2nd is the width of the image
3rd is the height of the image,

the only downside top this is.. for some reason it tiles the image.. which is annoying, anyhow, it works..

im off to find out how to stop it from tiling..
if ANYONE knows, please post it here.. to save the tiles..

below is an image of the finished product(sadly with tiling)

Good work.

why dont you just look for lvback.gif ? or is that only in the full release?,

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Joe on 10-10-2004 at 03:48 AM

nice job StoleN.GuitaR

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by marissa on 10-10-2004 at 04:16 AM

like, if i put a picture of lets say my avatar, would that work? Or does it have to be just a small, transparent background image? Sorry if this is dumb, im stilla noob :rolleyes:

You can put any bitmap image as the background this includes your avatar (if you open it in a paint program and save it as a bitmap). The only problem may be that you can no longer see your contacts names as the avatar is too dark. In which case you will have to watermark your image. Oh and try not to have a huge bitmap image as it will make your contact list scrolling lag like anything.

lvback.gif stands for list view background.gif as msn7 no longer uses a list view support for lvback.gif no longer exists... hence why we must reshacker

Also you may notice that the side of your picture gets chopped off.. to avoid this add 35pixels to the left hand side of your picture in your favourite paint program. This should ensure the picture isn't cut off (remember to change the size in the UIFILE now).

Changing the #000000 value supposedly changes the transparency. I assume its in html colour code format where #FFFFFF is white. I haven't tested it but i assume it works.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by illuzn on 10-10-2004 at 08:05 AM

Hrmmm making another object is an interesting idea.... i might try it later. As for changing the stretching argument.. already tried all the documented numbers to no avail.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by StoleN.GuitaR on 10-10-2004 at 08:45 AM

is that using the same UI file as i used? that.. 923? one..

</buddylist>

Of course change idres to whatever the resource id is, and use png's this time.

Dan

would you kindly explain where u placed this to make it work....

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by M73A on 10-10-2004 at 09:08 AM

wat do you use to RasHack programs? can anyone give me a download site for it?
thanks

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Chestah on 10-10-2004 at 09:26 AM

Resource Hacker
google it or direct link http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/reshack.zip

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by illuzn on 10-10-2004 at 09:57 AM

Unfortunately Dan your method doesn't work well... this is because the image is placed on top of the buddy list. This means that any contacts under it disappear as well as the scroll bar. I tried placing it under the buddy list however it seems the buddy list is not transparent so to fix this needs editing of the buddy list UIFILE #936 (I think).

Edit: I guess I was 5 minutes too late with that one...

heres my code for getting it underneath the contact list

code:
<png layoutpos=right flip=false idres=1096 />

<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout()>
<element layoutpos=bottom layout=filllayout()>
</element>
</buddylist>

Insert the first line of code before the buddylist item. You get to see the picture for 2 seconds when MSN first loads

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by illuzn on 10-10-2004 at 10:26 AM

Okay problem has been solved...

!WARNING! This requires you to edit the msnmsgr.exe file. I am not responsible for any damage caused by following this advice.

Here are the steps:

1. Open msnmsgr.exe in reshacker (make a backup of original exe first)
2. Import your png file to the PNG resources
Action->Add New Resource:
a. select the file
b. In Resource Type put "PNG" no quotes
c. In Resource Name put 100
3. a. Open the UIFILE folder on the left
b. Select the 923 folder
c. Open the 1023 resource in that folder
4. Find the following code:

code:
<element layoutpos=client layout=filllayout()>
<element background=window />
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout() />
</element>

5. Replace with the following:

code:
<element layoutpos=client layout=filllayout()>
<element background=window />
<png layoutpos=bottom flip=false idres=100 />
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout() <background=argb(0,255,255,255) />
</element>

6. Press the Compile Script button
7. Save and run MSN
8. Admire your background

A preview is attached

edit: Thanks to Dan for getting me thus far

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by tomfletcherman on 10-10-2004 at 06:14 PM

Main window wont open if the image is too large....

like wallpaper size...

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-10-2004 at 06:30 PM

can editing this be done dynamically in memory? this would be an awesome feature of plus

RE: RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-10-2004 at 06:52 PM

5. Replace with the following:

code:
<element layoutpos=client layout=filllayout()>
<element background=window />
<png layoutpos=bottom flip=false idres=100 />
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout() <background=argb(0,255,255,255) />
</element>

typo there get rid of the < before background

is it possible to align something to the bottomright? bottom puts it at bottom left, where right puts it at top right, i treid bottomright, no luck

i am starting to get a better understanding of this, hte filllayout layout doesnt support corners, the ninegridlayout does, but when i try to use the ninegridlayout, there is no contact list

::EDIT::

ok i figured it out, gotta use contentalign, dont need to change layout or layoutpos:

code:
<element layoutpos=client layout=filllayout()>
<element background=window />
<png layoutpos=bottom contentalign=bottomright flip=false idres=100 />
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout() background=argb(0,255,255,255) />
</element>

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by tomfletcherman on 10-10-2004 at 08:03 PM

mmmmmmm, gd code work (Y) anyone fancy making a small program that you type the dimensions of your image into, and then choose alignment, and it produce the code for you to enter into reshack?

dont need the dimensions

and jsut copy and paste that and change the alignment and import your png as 100, making a program to generate that little bit of code would be pointless

im havin a little weird thing happenin with this bit of code:

code:
<element layoutpos=client layout=filllayout()>
<element background=window />
<png layoutpos=bottom contentalign=bottomright flip=false idres=100 />
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout() background=argb(0,255,255,255) />
</element>

the contact list is solid black at first, then fades to white, then the contact list comes up and it works, jsut kinda odd with hte black thing

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by DarKnight on 10-10-2004 at 10:17 PM

I also get the black fading to white, but only happens once. Nothing major.

Here's an attached shot of what I got, also.

This is way better than lvback.gif. Now you can have a high quality image.

Edit: Reason for so few contacts is because it's my testing account.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-11-2004 at 12:24 AM

wonder what causes that black fading to white ill narrow it down to the source!

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by DarKnight on 10-11-2004 at 12:45 AM

Me too. Also working on adding a few other things other than the background now.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-11-2004 at 12:50 AM

what other ideas do you have? i might play around with my contact status icons

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by DarKnight on 10-11-2004 at 01:04 AM

On the mess.be forum I seen someone talking about making the contacts DP show beside them on the contact list. I'm currently working on trying to make it work. Dunno if it will or not. But it's fun to mess with messenger. Lol

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-11-2004 at 01:06 AM

that'd be a little more than reshackin tho wouldnt it? heh

wow yeah i found that thread and i was looking at some of that UI code wow... way too deep for my i jsut started getting into this stuff

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by DarKnight on 10-11-2004 at 02:14 AM

I've been playing around in the UIFILE code since MSN Messenger 6 (Used to make color skins for MSN Messenger 6 before the colorize option came out).

Anyway. If I manage to get it working I'll post about it here.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-11-2004 at 02:44 AM

I saw a screenshot where some guy was triyng to get that to work, he also had email address below the display name, i dont know fi ti was photoshopped or not, i know that the fake little avatars were, wonder if thats possible cause that was cool

animation: log | alpha | mediumslow | delayshort;
alpha: 255;
}

remopve the bold then.. from that in the UI file.. its the fading animation for the buddylist, when it loads with an image, it goes slower, because it has to load the image also..
so remove it

6. Press the Compile Script button
7. Save and run MSN

Doing this allows you to have ANY PNG(within resonable dimensions) image behind your contacts.

And that is how you get the image behind your contacts list..

who needs crummy old LVBACK.GIF now huh

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-11-2004 at 02:55 PM

dont i get any credit haha, i figured out how to align it to the bottom right, although, that probably was simple to msot of you

wonder what causes that black fading to white ill narrow it down to the source!

code:
buddylist
{
Accessible: true;
AccRole: 33;
AccState: 0;
background: window;
animation: log | alpha | mediumslow | delayshort;
alpha: 255;
}

remopve the bold then.. from that in the UI file.. its the fading animation for the buddylist, when it loads with an image, it goes slower, because it has to load the image also..
so remove it

thank you, thank you very much, I will do that, animations liek this are stupid anyways and uselessly make things take longer. Still wonder why it fades from black, when without an image, it fades from white

are there any tutorials on this stuff? i have a vague understanding of it, jsut from having knowledge of programming, but much of the syntax and functions i do not understand

What does changing the alpha do? I know alpha is transparency, but that is the alpha fro the entire contact list background wouldnt it be? what is behind it? how could I make just the background IMAGE be translucent? Right now i jsut photoshop the image to be translucent to a white background giving the watermark effect

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by illuzn on 10-12-2004 at 01:50 AM

The key code change is this line:
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout() background=argb(0,255,255,255) />

Originally the background of the buddylist is unspecified and I guess it defaults to plain white [argb(255,255,255,255)] however if that happens you can't see the picture. Best if i explain argb here:

ARGB(alpha,red,green,blue)

So its a function that supplies a colour, now when i made it i assumed that it would show up white and fade in... however for some wierd reason this isn't the case. It starts at black... no idea how to fix this... but its only for less than a second anyway.... i prefer no tiling and no lag to a little nuisance black.

If you really, really hate it just remove the animation line. It must be some kind of bug in the animation.

Note: Good work Bradley for finding the align thingo... I thought it was bottomright too but forgot about content align good work

edit: Just to answer a few of your questions bradley...

Some tutorials on editing UIFILEs can be found just google for UIFILE, you will see several links... however they mostly cover logon and boot screens.... so not 100% relevant however it helps you get an idea.

Changing that alpha value changes the alpha of the whole contact list.... not very good unless you want faint contacts...

Edit2: Discovered how to make the picture alpha for you....
add the following lines to styles:

code:
buddylist
{
Accessible: true;
AccRole: 33;
AccState: 0;
background: window;
alpha: 255;
}
png[id=atom(backgroundpng)]
{
alpha: 100;
}

and edit this:

code:
<png id=atom(backgroundpng) contentalign=bottomright flip=false idres=100 />

edit3: perhaps you could add this to your post stolenguitar... and that isn't how you should refer to a post it should be like this: StoleN.GuitaR's reply to This is how to change MSN7 background.
to do that type [post=http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=32756&pid=320424#pid320424] Its just because that post isn't on page 4 for me... its on page 1

and maybe put all that code in a txt file..... its rather tedious to scroll so far.... lol

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by Bradl3y on 10-12-2004 at 12:46 PM

thanks for the help, that is very helpful, i am getting most of this stuff, styles is no different really than styles classes in like html, jsut gotta learnt he syntax..

i was aiming more tword any tutorials out there for the UIFIles in previous version of msn messenger, i have searched google for it before, but like you said, most that was to be found dealt with logon screen, and most didnt say what stuff meant, jsut what to change haha

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by StoleN.GuitaR on 03-30-2005 at 11:26 AM

Bumping back up.
its been a long time. this is for people who don't want to download skins for MSN to have a background that they didnt create.

use this to change the "behind contact list" area to ANY IMAGE that you created.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by StoleN.GuitaR on 12-04-2005 at 07:55 AM

wow its been almost a year since this.

just a random bump to bring her to life

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by ipab on 12-04-2005 at 08:12 AM

just use the lvback.gif :dodgy: . Please dont ressurect old threads, for all your skinning info please check out http://messenger-skins.net or http://messengerlab.com.

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by illuzn on 12-04-2005 at 10:39 AM

Wow.. I remember this post... but its really not needed in MSN 7.5 anymore because they reimplemented lvback.gif
Although we could get some nice effects by implementing this code such as alpha and tiling the image

RE: This is how to change MSN7 background. by absorbation on 12-04-2005 at 11:28 AM

It's different now for most things in 7.5. Uifiles have changed and so has this code.
