mattisdada,

I have a strong feeling that you're editing the wrong files.

Do not use the files located in the "Consolidated Windows" directory to make your skin!

The files in the directory "Consolidated Windows" are only there for your own convenience. To provide a quick-view to which windows are build up with which files. They are not meant to be changed.

Using those files to base your skin on will make that the skin will quite possible not work properly on other people's Messenger. Especially if that Messenger is in another language.

You need to edit and base your skin on the files located in the other directories. Again, the "Consolidated Windows" directory is only to be used as a reference; a quick-view, nothing else.

See the very important official scripting documentation, which is a must-read for any skinner (even more than the scripting documentation is for scripting!), unless you want to do extra work and/or screw things up.

(which also explains how you can add extra images if you want different images for the login screen and the toast, for example)

;)
