I know that I can add icons to a button using the XML code:

xml code:

---

<Image><Name>icon-XXXXXX</Name></Image>

---

1) I know of "floppy", "refresh" and "delete".  What others are there?
2) Can I use my own icons, for example, an image in the script directory?

You can use your own you would have something like this

-- script folder
  |-- Images
     |-- myimage.png
  |-- myscript.js
  |-- myscript.xml

Then in the XML you would use

xml code:

---

<Image><Name>myimage</Name></Image>

You can use any image from Messenger Plus! by supplying the resource name (I've never tried them all so not sure if they all work, but I presume they would).

To get the names of the images, you can open Messenger Plus! preferences>Customize>Extract Resources and extract Messenger Plus Resources to a folder on your computer. The filenames for the images are what you can use within <name></name>.

Alternatively, you can open MsgPlusLiveRes.dll in a program such as ResHack that lets you view resources contained in the file. The images are in the PNG resource group. Just use the resource name within the <name></name> tags in your XML.

Yes, just supply the filename of the image instead. Just remember that if you use a jpg (or gif in Messenger Plus! Live 4.80.356 and above), you will need to add the correct <format> tag to your XML, eg:

xml code:

---

<Image><Name>My_Icon</Name><Format>JPEG</Format></Image>

Hope this helps.

Works great, thanks!
