RE: [How To] - Hide Elements, Forced Hiding and Options
oh, i havent tried your method yet, i will do however, however as i dont want to bugger up messenger if avoidable.

This method is the same for most Elements you may want to force hide.
If an element that you want to hide does not have a layoutpos to modify, you can add one, it may work depending on the element. Give it a go (Smilie)

You have not contacted me on this issue. Don't lie!

You have to HIDE the elements not remove them. Removing them can and will feck up messenger

add in a layoutpos=none

something like

code:
<button class="HIGToolbarButton" padding=rect(5,5,5,4) layout=borderlayout() <*PlusSkin Conditions(RemInviteBtn = false)*></*PlusSkin*> <*PlusSkin Conditions(RemInviteBtn = true)*>layoutpos=none</*PlusSkin*>
id=atom(invitetoimbtn) cmdid=40269 AccRole=43 Tooltip=true active=mouseandkeyboard|nosyncfocus margin=rect(5,0,5,0) accessible=true>
<ButtonIcon class="HIGToolbarIcon" contentalign=middlecenter ID=Atom(ai149)/>
<element layoutpos=Right contentalign=middlecenter layout=filllayout()>
<ButtonText class="HIGToolbarText" content="" contentalign=middlecenter Shortcut=1 ID=Atom(ai150)/>
</element>
</button>

I have not tested this, so if it doesn't work that's the reason

i tried this and got the following skin trace

quote:
07/12/29 10:49:05| **** The trace has started ****
07/12/29 10:49:05| Skin: 365 Skin 1.75
07/12/29 10:49:05| Messenger version: 8.5.1302.1018 (en-us)
07/12/29 10:49:05| Messenger Plus! version: 4.50.312
07/12/29 10:49:05| Last definition file loaded: 920
07/12/29 10:49:05| Last picture file loaded: 58504
07/12/29 10:49:05| DUIParserFailure: parse error '=' 501


that indicates theres a problem on line 501 in the 920 definitions file but i was editing line 492 line 501 is for the send files button which i havent changed yet, this was done in a clean copy of the 920 definitions file extracted by plus and i only made the changes you specified Nile just incase you were wondering.

if i can hide the button rather than remove it then of course i will do so however as this error prevents me from using chat winow il use my other 920 definitions in the mean time.

EDIT:

as per my discussion with Nile on messenger i hid invite button without removing it using the following code.

quote:
<button class="HIGToolbarButton" padding=rect(5,5,5,4) <*PlusSkin Conditions(RemInviteBtn = false)*>layout=borderlayout()</*PlusSkin*><*PlusSkin Conditions(RemInvitebtn = true)*>layoutpos=none</*PlusSkin*> id=atom(invitetoimbtn) cmdid=40269 AccRole=43 Tooltip=true active=mouseandkeyboard|nosyncfocus margin=rect(5,0,5,0) accessible=true>
<ButtonIcon class="HIGToolbarIcon" contentalign=middlecenter ID=Atom(ai149)/>
<element layoutpos=Right contentalign=middlecenter layout=filllayout()>
<ButtonText class="HIGToolbarText" content="" contentalign=middlecenter Shortcut=1 ID=Atom(ai150)/>
</element>
</button>


but when i tried to do the same on the shared files button as per the code below it didnt work, yes it hid it but unlike what happened with invite button you can still click it even though theres no picture there.

quote:
<button class="HIGToolbarButton" padding=rect(5,5,5,4) <*PlusSkin Conditions(RemSharedBtn2 = false)*>layout=borderlayout()</*PlusSkin*><*PlusSkin Conditions(RemSharedBtn2 = true)*>layoutpos=none</*PlusSkin*> id=atom(sendfilebtn) cmdid=40391 AccRole=43 Tooltip=true active=mouseandkeyboard|nosyncfocus margin=rect(5,0,5,0)>
<ButtonIcon class="HIGToolbarIcon" contentalign=middlecenter ID=Atom(ai151)/>
<element layoutpos=Right contentalign=middlecenter layout=filllayout()>
<ButtonText class="HIGToolbarText" content="" contentalign=middlecenter Shortcut=1 ID=Atom(ai152)/>
</element>
</button>


does anybody know what i did wrong here?
