The past hours I've been editting the VISTA Ultimate skin in such way, I changed like all pictures in it (except the pictograms, wich I can't seem to open?). RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by aNILEator on 07-01-2008 at 10:33 AM
Yes Dennis It is possible to remove all those things. code: This as you can see from the PlusSkin references, adds an element around the infobar that is then told to not have any position (new conditional element) (infobar) (/new conditional element) this is a way to hide some more stubborn buttons/elements, and also replace some. The search bar I have a tutorial for removing it found http://www.msgpluslive.net/skins/resources/tut-Hi...ptions-definitions RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by DennisMartijn on 07-01-2008 at 10:37 AM
Ah, thanks! Soon reply btw RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by aNILEator on 07-01-2008 at 10:44 AM
Sounds like an image problem, and it depends on your windows and messenger version whether it loads a different image on not. RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by DennisMartijn on 07-01-2008 at 10:51 AM
Well, I'm using windows xp sp 2, I seriously doubt it has something to do with that. I editted some pictures to be completely transparent, actually containing no actual pixels so to speak. I'll try making them red one by one, to figure wich one is screwing with me RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by Basilis on 07-01-2008 at 10:55 AM If the image is transparent, I remember I also had problems with this. Try changing the image to see if it will be black or if it will work properly. RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by DennisMartijn on 07-01-2008 at 11:23 AM

quote:Note that the information bar can give quite usefull information also. For example showing if you got any alerts which you might have missed, or indicating that there might be connection or server problems, etc.... The useless info like "you can now chat while you're offline" is normally only showed once. And if nothing needs to be shown (eg: you've got no alerts, and the connection is ok) the bar will not be shown either. So, personally, I would find a way to incoorporate it in the skin instead of just simply removing it... (especially if you're going to release the skin in public). The same goes for the Word wheel. For example, I use that all the time since it vastly speeds up searching for contacts in large contact lists. RE: Remove ad and search bar - VISTA Ultimate? by aNILEator on 07-01-2008 at 10:07 PM

Well, I will not release this skin into public. Not only because it is totally based of the VISTA Ultimate skin, but also because of the limitations I ask. Rather than that, it's just a private skin |
