Custom Status Frame by ck472006 on 01-24-2009 at 11:44 AM
Can someone please create a simple skin for WLM9 that allows us to choose different color status frame for each status. Such as Blue Frame for the status "avaliable"
THanks in advance,
ck472006

Sure it is
just do some tinkering around with hue adjustments, enter them in as resources, add some options and there you go.

actually, i pressed the "Extract Resources" in Skin Developers in msgplus. And i found out that the green frame is a png named 4401_var.png and the orange frame 4402_var.png and the other frames are simmilar. So not really chaging hue. The problem is that i don't know how to write a sript/skin to replace those 4 pics. If u (Ryxdp), it would be greatly appreciate.

You still might have to do some hue adjustments if you want other colours than green, orange and red
and also there are the animated frames (examples 48000 and 48026). From there it's just a simple matter of replacing the images. I haven't done anything with WLM9 yet, but perhaps I'll try and whip something up here.An interesting thing to note, though, is that Plus! can't decrypt some RLEs properly, so it sets the image to 100x100 and puts _var on the end. This means that quite a few of these images are not the right size, and I hope that Patchou can fix this in 4.80.
