Background/Skin maker by stephen_wq on 10-30-2004 at 05:36 AM

ok i dunno if this has been sugested before but i was wondering if its possible to have a background changer, not for the convos, but for the main window.
preferably a theme/skin changer where u can make your skins, and share them with you friends using an import/export function.

if there is already a plugin that does anything close to this can ya let me know?

thanks
stephen

I think he is using his halo skin


RE: Background/Skin maker by gnownoskcid on 10-30-2004 at 06:35 AM

o you're right.... i just noticed the "Halo MSN (GigaBlade77's Modification)" skin included in windowX edition msn skin on mess.be


RE: Background/Skin maker by stephen_wq on 10-30-2004 at 07:25 AM

so is there a skin maker or could someone make it or add it to their next version of a plugin (eg: stuffplug)?


RE: Background/Skin maker by JaymachRalTir on 10-30-2004 at 07:46 AM

If you're just wanting to change the background pic of the contact list...all you need to do is replace the lvback.gif in the MSN Messenger folder with a new one.


RE: Background/Skin maker by stephen_wq on 10-30-2004 at 08:02 AM

i'll try that, is it possible to do a skin maker as well?

edit: tryed it didnt work, there is only a lvback in the windows messenger folder and even when i placed one in the msn messenger folder and restarted messenger it still didnt work

It does work on 7.0.0.322 if i'm right.  And btw it doesn't work with anyone. (On Messeger Skins Forums i think a tool that sk3tch made does what you want ;))
