O.P. RE: New MSN6 layout
Okay, a little more information then, since people seem to be confused.
The script (one of several) resides in the executable (that is "msnmsgr.exe").
- It is a plain text file, having the word "ui" in the resource identifier.
- It contains XML and an MS UI script.
- It contains the full layout of the chat windows (and possibly others, I haven't checked it out completely yet).
- thus: It allows users (or programmers for that matter) to change the look & feel of chat windows (and others?). For example: stretch the avatar and re-arrange the buttons.
- It relies upon a .tlb and a .dll (both ui-related) that handle some part or every part of ui design, skin loading (images and script), skin drawing, skin callbacks, I don't know.
Please, don't start asking to much questions, I don't know anything yet because I haven't examined it for myself yet. For those that know something about resources, get yourself a resource editor (www.google.com) and look for the file.
The script is easy and mostly self-explanatory, so have fun.
