How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-03-2008 at 05:09 AM

Im wishing to change the font colour in the following places:

1.On the "Send" buttons(located on login page and conversation windows).

2.The login text (all of it)

This is on 9.0 btw.


And can someone also show me HOW to do it? Ive tried looking at other peoples skins on how to do it, couldnt find where. The skinning documentation doesnt seem to state it.

Oh and while im asking questions. Why on earth is my background corupting everything?!

What i did was replace 20852 (the background image of all windows) with a 207x116 .png. And then it all screws up badly, you know when a progrma crashs, and then you move the window outside of the screen and when you bring it back in, it repetes everything? Well the background does that!

So how do i fix that :)

And as well, when i replace 20854(toast), it covers the text... or at least the text disapears.


If it help im using

code:
<Picture

Id="20852"><File>20062.png</File></Picture>
                            <Picture

Id="20854"><File>20061.png</File></Picture>

Thanks in advance :)

Login 947-4005

quote:
foreground:red;
foreground:black;
foreground:white;
foreground:green;
foreground:purple;
foreground:yellow;

Ummm, can i have a bit more information?


RE: How to change font colour? by diablotin on 05-03-2008 at 06:04 AM

you want replaces which code partly login


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-03-2008 at 07:24 AM

Uhhh .... what?

No offence or anything, but i cant understand you...


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-03-2008 at 05:59 PM

for the toasts, use custom code,

at element Element[ID=Atom(ai181)], chage the background to your own image code.
same with Element[ID=Atom(ai186)] and Element[ID=Atom(ai191)]

that should just about do it


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 01:03 AM

code:
ButtonIcon[ID=Atom(ai181)]
{
content:rcimg(1448);
padding:rcrect(20820);

ButtonText[ID=Atom(ai186)]
{
FontSize:rcint(20958)pt;
padding:rcrect(20821);
}

And i dont have a ai191


What do i change them to? They dont look right

RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 01:26 AM

style 921?

they're after a "ToastRoot[ID=atom(MsgrToastRoot)]", "ToastRoot[ID=atom(AlertsToastRoot)]" and "ToastRoot[ID=atom(SuperAlertToastRoot)]"


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 01:49 AM

You do know im in 9.0 right?

921 doesnt have 186 nor 181, but it does have 191.

code:
Element[ID=Atom(ai191)]
{
Content:rcimg(701);

But i do still have toast root:
code:
ToastRoot[ID=atom(MsgrToastRoot)]
{
AccName:rcstr(61143,1);

AltertsToastRoot:
code:
ToastRoot[ID=atom(AlertsToastRoot)]
{
AccName:rcstr(2319);
}

SuperAlertsToastRoot:
code:
ToastRoot[ID=atom(SuperAlertToastRoot)]
{
AccName:rcstr(2319);
}


So what do i do with them?

That's why I told you after what they were.

You'll change the element after those

RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 01:57 AM

So change the element from "61143" to something like 59011? And same with "23919"?

Thanks again for your help.


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:01 AM

I don't now... I haven't changed it... so rly don't know
RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:12 AM

Hey just a quick question. Do you know any usefull skinning scripts?

For example, when im wanting to test out toasts, i have to ask someone to block me then unblock me. A bit annoying. And a way to reset messenger without having to sign in for convo testing and etc?

And (sorry for being an annoying n00b). But how do i change the background of conversation windows?


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:17 AM

I've enabled poligamy... then I'd use two mals... then block/unblock, send nudges to myself :P

Everyone is n00b someday... and we are newbs, not n00b! =O


theres a script here in my pc...i'll have to find that...

and, no... you've got to reset messenger to apply any changes.
RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:21 AM

Nice idea with the two messengers.

But.... ummm.... my messenger is now completly screwed up :).

If someone signs in, it freezes(but doesnt crash). And the toast is all black.


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:24 AM

...don't remember getting that.
could you send me the style?


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:25 AM

Sure


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:27 AM

As well as skininfo:


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:30 AM

code:
ToastRoot[ID=atom(MsgrToastRoot)]
{
AccName:rcstr(59011,1);
}
Element[ID=Atom(ai188)]
{
Background:rcbkd(20852);

should be:
code:
ToastRoot[ID=atom(MsgrToastRoot)]
{
AccName:rcstr(59011,1);
}
Element[ID=Atom(ai188)]
{
Background:rcbkd(590xx);

like all others (in case 59011)
RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:31 AM

RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:34 AM

RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:42 AM

RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:51 AM

RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:52 AM

Yeah thats what i was thinking.

WAIIT!!!!!

59011 is the maximise button..... wooops... i screwed up!


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 02:54 AM

are you sure you haven't mixed the codes?

that's really...
WEIRD


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 02:58 AM

Ok it works now!! Thanks :D

Ok, so how do we do the background of conversation windows?


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 03:01 AM

the back of convos, are the default wallpaper... just set background to none (at the convo window itself), and it will have the same bakc as the whole messenger


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 03:02 AM

Yeah i know that, but how do i change the image for that? I did it in my old messenger, but i cant remember how i did it :(


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 03:04 AM

chnage the text containers(bigboxes)


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-04-2008 at 03:09 AM

RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-04-2008 at 03:16 PM

RE: How to change font colour? by tony on 05-05-2008 at 04:03 AM

RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-05-2008 at 09:48 AM

Ohhh.... Yeah probably should..... Lol, thanks. Sometimes im just an idiot.


RE: How to change font colour? by blessedguy on 05-05-2008 at 08:21 PM

well...
in WLM it would be a bit hard... since I only add people i know personally, but you can mail me @ "blessedguy_skins@live.com" , and I think I can tell you how to do that! =D


RE: How to change font colour? by mattisdada on 05-06-2008 at 11:07 AM

Quick question as well to add to my over whelming amount, how do i get rid of this guy?
