I tried to install a new skin to Messenger but the plus icons disappered :( no icon for scripts, preference, custom cound or anything that plus adds :(
why?


RE: Skins by Menthix on 09-22-2007 at 07:06 PM

Skins modify files from Messenger. If a skin changes too much (certain parts) Plus! will be unable to hook the icons properly. Some skins work, some don't.

These are caused by skins removing elements from the uifiles. Most skinners don't do that, in-fact doing that makes it harder to skin and update your work. These skins will be in the minority :).

Vista Live Messenger, Windows Aero Messenger,... you can take a look at www.msgstuff.com, it's a good resource for Messenger skins. :)

You may need to reinstall MessengerPlus!, that actually worked for me. It kind of updates where to patch when it's installed.
