ok heres an interesting question, ive added the options to hide / show the plus preferences and scripts buttons through my skin options panel, however in doing so i now have 2 instances of these buttons on the contact list, the ones used by my options and the ones that plus creates.

now then there are some registry settings to get rid of the ones plus creates which are as follows.

\GlobalSettings ScriptIconContactList dword 1
Boolean value. This setting is only used when the "Add Plus! buttons in the contact list" option is enabled in the preferences. If false (0), the scripts icon is not added to the toolbar.

\GlobalSettings FormatIconChatWnd dword 1
Boolean value. This setting is only used when the "Add Plus! buttons in the chat windows" option is enabled in the preferences. If false (0), the format panel icon is not added to the toolbar.

\GlobalSettings SoundIconChatWnd dword 1
Boolean value. This setting is only used when the "Add Plus! buttons in the chat windows" option is enabled in the preferences. If false (0), the emotion sounds icon is not added to the toolbar.

\GlobalSettings ScriptIconChatWnd dword 1
Boolean value. This setting is only used when the "Add Plus! buttons in the chat windows" option is enabled in the preferences. If false (0), the scripts icon is not added to the toolbar.

now all of these settings are in the registry under HKCU\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live.

in the thread about hiding elements it says how you can use registry files to launch options like add removal that your not allowed to do via skin options panel, what i want to know is can you automatically trigger a skin to run a registry file automatically upon import of the skin or do something so if my options panel cretes the second set of buttons then skininfo initiates the registry settings to hide the ones plus creates?

any ideas and suggestions on this are welcome. thank you all in advance.

Patchou enlightened me a few months ago about this same problem I had:

Because most users expect Messenger Plus! features to be accessible in every skin, removing them with these options also means adding them back manually in your windows. If you're familiar enough with definition files to do such a thing, all you need to know is that your buttons need a cmdid attribute ranging from 7801 to 7810. This represents the command ids used by Messenger Plus! in Messenger's windows and any element that sends this id will trigger the same response as the original (like displaying a menu).

the question is which ids are for what button? is there any reference on the plus site at all?
