Hi all im here with a new problem T_T
In this moment, i try to make a skin with open live, making simple, very easy!
But i want to replace the background of the toast, in the skininfo i dont found it, nothing also the 921 style T_T
I try to make it, i've replaced the correct parts (with the Basilis tutorial) and adding it on Skininfo, and the image in the folder, but don't work, when my contact is online, messenger crashs! I try with another number, 59xxx (watching isn't in use by another style/image/other) but, the the results is always the same.
Help!... And in end, i want to change the psm and status in my dashboard (style 1001?)
Thanks in advance

Are you sure you used the correct dimensions for the image? The correct dimensions are 207x116. It was mentioned in the tutorial.

The problem may also be that you didn't mention in your SkinInfo in which folder you put the image. If you put the image in the folder "images" for example, then your code in the SkinInfo should look like this.

code:

---

<New>
<Pictures>
<Picture Id="59000"><File>images/59000.png</File></Picture>
</Pictures>
</New>

---

yes, I know!
but there are difference  59000 (example) to another number? 59120 or 59400? i try with this, but doesn't work...
I try to resize the image to 207x116 (i think my image was 200x120)
and for the dashboard?

There should be no problem, no matter what id you use. Your problem is usually caused when Messenger can't find the image you put as a background so it cannot show the toast. Are you sure you have the right code in your SkinInfo? Remember that the image should be replaced below the <New> tag

About your other question. If I understood correctly, you want to change the color of the nickname and psm. Then, you just need to open style file 923 and edit their foregrounds.

this toast hasn't peace T_T
Doesn't work -.- tomorrow i retry for 40124521.. times
For the psm and status on dashboard, i've not problem,Thanks!

try under 'Window Design' folder and the file called 'Window Background' or similar

nothing... doesn't work T_T
Or... it works, but when one contact signing in, the toast go up, but the dp and nick, they are not seen!
In enclosure the skininfo, style and image
you try you

this is the code to add in the skininfo

code:

---

                <New>
                    <Pictures>
                        <!-- Notification (Toast) Background -->
                        <Picture Id="59400">
                            <File>images/Window Design/59400 - Toast Background.png</File>
                        </Picture>
                    </Pictures>
                </New>

UP!

Second UP!
Someone helps me!

I read the SkinInfo and I couldn't find anywhere a picture under the <New> section with the id 59400. That must be the problem. Can you please check it?

sure... the skininfo is without the 59400, because anywhere i put the code, it doesn't work, for this i post separately the skininfo from the code
Try to add anywhere the skininfo the code... it won't work

News?

I created a simple skin that replaces the toast background. Take a look at it and see what you have done different.

I've not problem with your example, or my example without the xml of Open Live, the problem is in Open Live! I try to do a new background... see you and thanks

I wish I could help more. I hope you find the solution to the problem.

I try with another method... just modifying the 947 style (the mainconteiner) with a new background, and the notification background with the 20061, without modifying the 921 style, now works very good, thanks all!

I am happy to know you managed to fix it.
