Goto the command page and see how to do it

as far as i know the emoticon pack is just going to come with the new WMPlus in a seperate folder of the .ZIP package so that people can add the emoticons themselves if they wish.

Ok thanks Fukafly. I didn't know how it was going to be done.

no problem i think it is just going to be added so that people don't have to go hunting for them online. As long as something reminds you that they are there when your installing, to stop speed clickers installing and just being n00bs really

Fukafly, they look good, only one problem: you've used single-color transparency. Most obvious ones are the play/pause/stop buttons. They look good on a white background, but with black you can see it aliasing clearly... I know, you shouldn't use a black background , but since MSN can do full alpha PNGs (while IE still can't, grmbl) it would be nice to use it and look great no matter what the settings are...

That aside, my plan is to install the images to My Documents\WMPlus Icons\ by default (I don't think it would be wise to tell newbies to look in Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\WMPlus\), though it should be customizable of course, and turned off if you don't want it. Along with that I will mention it on the website.

I'm also thinking about having a way to load predefined "packages", which contain information on the commands/tag and optional custom emoticons used. These can then be made available for download and installed from WMPlus easily. I mean, if some Visual Basic guy can make an application to add custom emoticons using SendKeys and charge for it, I sure as hell can make one much more reliable, free and integrated into WMPlus . It will be as easy as downloading "Fukafly's Amazing WMPlus Output.wmp", I could even link the files to an install application so you can press Open in IE and not worry about anything else...

Good

Only i thing, Fukafly: WMP9 displays those icons and stuff in much more clear way in library. Icon has a bad quality on the upper right corner where you can select what you wanna listen to, but if you go to licrary you'll see that icons are much smoother.

Problem is, that it uses transparency, so you cant just "cut" the "emoticon" out... You'll have same result as normally

It would be nice if someone will "steal" those "emoticons" from wmplayer.exe ...

ok i am using a big black block as my background and editing all my emoticons right V 0.6 coming soon ~LoL~

I use PSP 8 how do i make them ALPHA transparancy? i will muck about

File -> Export -> PNG. This will give you several options. If you've been using the transparency in PSP correctly you can select "Alpha Transparency" and "Use existing image transparency" and export them that way...


Looking forward to 'em!

ok i have already been using that alpha transparancy for thicko me but i usually use the 'filter this colour' option i am sure you know what i mean with a tolerance of usually 32 or 61

Yeah, then it creates a PNG with either full or no transparency (on a per-pixel basis that is)... using the Alpha option makes it much smoother...
