Thats a false synergy. Just because something hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it CAN't be done. If the resources are extracted by Plus, then it will be possible to edit them and replace them with others

RE: Skinning the wordwheel..

I see no problem, has any errors occurred in the Skin Trace.txt file?
Please attach the wordwheel.png image as well.

now 59004 refers to the wordwheel.png file declaration in my skininfo file, the only potential issue there might be is in the 1001 Defintion file, 59004 is declared for wordwheel which is toward start of the def file but 59003 which relates to contact list backgrounds is located towards the end of the def file do these have to be number sequentially from top of file to bottom of file?
