O.P. Changing Pictures Question
Hello guys.... I'm trying to start skinning, and for this, I'm trying to change some pictures...
Well.... I wanted to know about the little icon next to the contact that changes depending of the contact's statuts (on Contact List):
[Image: attachment.php?pid=873549]
Is it the same ID for the away/lunch/be right statuses???
And it's the same ID for the Busy/In a  statuses???

I readed that these files are RLE... So how can I make my new icons as RLE or in a format that works???

I was planning to make "individual" icons...

If it isn't possible, can someone tell me how I change these icons, please???

Thanks in advance....
;)

RE: Changing Pictures Question
I was actually wondering similar to this.  I would like to know if the icons can be changed to have different ones for In a Call/Busy etc.
Also would like to know if the skinning engine can use images from an RLE (such as from an old version  of messenger).

The RLE format can not be made, what you have to do is save individual PNG images out and then use [ContentIndex] in your statuspill classes:

that shows an example of how [ContentIndex] works

Thanks Willz!!!!
Just another thing that both (Leroux and me) asked: Is it possible to make individual "status icons" for each status??
For example: 1 icon to "lunch", 1 to "on phone".......
And... don't forget this:

no because WLM already has preset how status images work so you can't edit this.

And yes, RLE from older versions can be used but be careful because not all of them will work.
