Yes it will. When extracting resource you will extract the resources with the patch applied, which means all your users will be forced to have these patches applied too. This is a problem.

Disable the patch, make sure everything is back to default, and extract the resources again. Make sure you don't use the consolidated version either.

Actually he can use the consolidated Definitions Fine but it's highly suggested to use the Standard Styles files

I actually have my latest skin in the works in the Consolidated Folder Structure with Consolidated Definitions and original Styles files.

I plan to re-make beaver and steve soon so don't worry foreigners

sorry about that menthinx i really didnt know that my extracted resourced would be prepatched if my messenger was patched when extracting them, ill try to fix it all asap.

i now have a nicely skinned login screen and contact list, i skinned word wheel and dashboard and toolbars on the contact list so it really looks nice now only the convo window to go and then ill go through my uifiles and copy my customisations to the unpatched ones.

again im sorry about the whole patched resources thing.

EDIT:

i have unpatched messenger and by completely uninstalling it deleting all messenger directories and reinstalling a new clean copy, i then reinstalled plus and have redone my UIFILES based on the newly extracted UIFILES so theres no patches applied in my skin now, after doing all that i took some new screenshots and now can show you what it all looks like at moment.



contact list and login window are now fully skinned to my satisfaction, well i might add options in to patch certain elements later assuming of course thats not against any rules as im not sure to be honest, and the convo window needs a little more work.

anyways tell me what you think of it so far.
