Hello, im wondering if its possible to get images on the buttons instead of using text?

xml code:

---

<Control Id="BtnName" xsi:type="ButtonControl">
    <Position Top="40" Left="5" Width="190" Height="32"/>
    <Attributes><Align>left</Align></Attributes>
    <Image><Name>normal\ftp</Name></Image>
    <Caption>Some Text</Caption>
</Control>

---

Thanks for the reply would i be able to get the msn emoticons on the buttons?

Easiest way for that is to extract the resources for the skin creation and take them from there. And yes you can use any image as long as you have it in your Images folder (the structure of the images folder for the code above is Scripts Folder\Images\normal\ftp.png - extension isn't required.)

ive got all the emoticons i need but i dont know how to get the pictures on the buttons heres the code im using:

                <Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnPlane">
                        <Position Top="165" Width="100" Height="20" Left="10"/>
                        <Attributes><Align>center</Align></Attributes>
                        <Image><Name>normal\ftp\msn_airplane</Name></Image>
                        <Caption>Plane</Caption>
                </Control>

and the folder that the images are in is:

Images\normal\ftp

the images folder is in the folder were my scripting files are

Try and just put the image in the Images folder and change it to

xml code:

---

                <Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnPlane">
                        <Position Top="165" Width="100" Height="20" Left="10"/>
                        <Attributes><Align>center</Align></Attributes>
                        <Image><Name>msn_airplane</Name></Image>
                        <Caption>Plane</Caption>
                </Control>

---

still dont work

is this where the Images folder should be:

Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\(Name of script)\Images

Have you restarted Windows Live Messenger since you made these initial changes?

If not the cause is likely related to how Messenger Plus! Live deals with interfaces. It loads them once then doesn't load them again.

To change this follow this posted by Patchou.

As this would pretty annoying for someone who wants to try to change the files and see the results immediately, you can set a dword value "AlwaysReloadInterfaces=1" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus!

still dnt work

Just to add to what matty has said, you have the emoticons saved as gifs. IIRC, support for gif files is only available in Plus! 4.79.342 (the public beta), meaning if you don't have this version the images will not show. You will also have to add <Format> tags, as Plus! looks for PNGs by default.

xml code:

---

<Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnPlane">
                        <Position Top="165" Width="300" Height="20" Left="10"/>
                        <Image>
                                 <Name>Icons/airplane</Name>
                                 <Format>GIF</Format>
                        </Image>

                </Control>

yep all images are packed as well and there using 4.70.334 like me any ideas anyone?

help pleeeeease

Post the script.

Can you please attach the script here so that we can see if it will work for us?

the file? or the actual script writing?

all of it

Please don't just paste the code, please upload the plsc that your friends can't see the images with. We can't see what issues they might have unless we have what you are giving them.

Download: WLNameEditor

Well the images are appearing for me as well so I am really not sure.

Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 (6.0.6001)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1018
Messenger Plus! Live 4.79.0.342
