Did you rename the old msgsres.dll to something or delete in and pasted the new msgsres.dll ? If yes, then start WLM again and you are done .

If no, then do that after closing WLM.

You need to extract the .rar file .

Either get WinRAR or change extension of the .rar file to .zip .

I recommend downloading WinRAR though. And when the evaluation copy expires it just gives a notification and doesn't really stop you from using it .

Decided to just give it a try, and it's really nice!

My only gripe is that it makes the contact list insanely long, any way of cutting that down would be appreciated.

Love the way the yellow bar (in standard WLM) has been made to look like part of the top bar!

And the big circular button for the menus, that's nice.

Looks best when the window is made about 10% transparent.

Very very very nice skin The second skin ive only ever seen for Windows Live Messenger but its awesome! Great job.
EDIT: I agree with the contact list issue though.

The skin isn't too good with tabs on the left (EDIT: The tabs being on the top of the chat window is the same too).  The top of the chat window changes (I think the tabs part just goes over the top).  Also the bar in which the tabs sit on is the default colour and is not changed by the skin.

Try Resource Hacker, msgres.dll, 4004 > 1009.

code:

---

<usertileview SizeId=Small

---

And change that to:

code:

---

<usertileview SizeId=4

Set a color/image as standard for the background and try to re-open the window. Plus! can't update the color when you've changed the color in the window.

Great! That did the trick for me. Thanks a lot .
* Felu messes with other things there .

Am I the only one experiencing an issue when "Show details" is turned on for contacts. When I do this, the names aren't left aligned properly anymore. (If this issue isn't reproducable I will add a screenie if needed...)
