Hey everybody, yes i´m back needing some support again, actually i´m tryng to understand how to change the animation on the logon frame, and i have readed all threads about this topic, but still i cant get it to work, could you guys tell me how to edit the files to finally do this? RE: Changing Animation Logon? by mynetx on 02-20-2008 at 07:19 AM
The animation in the logon frame is controlled by the 208.png, and the throbber at some other places by the 1076.gif. Below you see the Apple Live Messenger 0.1.0 version of these two files. RE: Changing Animation Logon? by LuckyMe on 02-20-2008 at 05:50 PM
Well man, thanks for your help, just one question, do i have to change anithyng on definition/style files for this resource? or just add this 208.png on skininfo to replace actual animation?, and please take a look at the other question in the first post please.

Hi Nagamasa, yes you´re right, so here is a screenshot: RE: Changing Animation Logon? by Nagamasa on 02-22-2008 at 04:40 AM

My Messenger does this sometimes too. It also happens to the number of emails...they don't appear after a while sometimes. Does it ever appear when you activate the checkbox?

quote: Well, for sure you´re not since you understande me quote: Well, sometimes it takes more time to show them, and maybe its normal, but not when i´m trying to deactivate only the search bar, I mean those tabs should not dissapear when I check this option, and its the same with the rest of the buttons im trying to hide, if I check the option it hides ok, but when I uncheck em, not all times they appear again. let me know what you think & thanks again man! RE: Changing Animation Logon? by Basilis on 02-22-2008 at 01:12 PM Have you made your skin on a patched messenger? RE: RE: Changing Animation Logon? by LuckyMe on 02-22-2008 at 05:27 PM
quote: Hi Basilis, No i didn´t, the skin is working fine except for what I´ve commented before, This is how I define the options in UIfiles: ------------------------Skininfo:------------------------------------- <Options> <Skin> <!-- declare user modifiable options --> <Properties> <!-- enable/disable Remove Search Feature - disabled by default --> <BoolVal Name="HideListSearch"> <DispLabel>Remove the Search feature in the Contact List.</DispLabel> <Default>false</Default> </BoolVal> <!-- declare custom option panel --> <OptionInterface> <InterfaceDir>OptionPanel</InterfaceDir> <InterfaceFile>OptInPanel.xml</InterfaceFile> <WindowIds> <WindowId Language="en-us">SkinOpt</WindowId> </WindowIds> </OptionInterface> </Skin> </Options> ---------------------------923 Definition:---------------------------------- <Element <*PlusSkin Conditions(HideListSearch = false)*>layoutpos=bottom</*PlusSkin*> <*PlusSkin Conditions(HideListSearch = true)*>layoutpos=none</*PlusSkin*> padding=rect(8,0,8,8) layout=filllayout() ID=Atom(ai217)> <element id=atom(idSearchContainer) layout=filllayout() padding=rect(4,0,4,4)> ---------------------------OptionPanel:---------------------------------- <Control xsi:type="CheckBoxControl" Id="HideListSearch"> <Position Top="30" Width="200" Left="5"/> Caption>Remove Search Bar</Caption> </Control> ---------------------------HideElements.reg:---------------------------------- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Skins\Testkin\Settings] "HideListSearch"=dword:00000001 My question is, in the reg file file do I have to define a "false" condition like "HideListSearch"=dword:00000000 to turn the option back ( to restore Searchbar)?? or make another regfile with that condition? & That´s all I guess... So if you see something wrong please tell me what to do, Thanks. |
