O.P. Editing Skins
Hi.
I'm editing "Apple Live Messenger", created by mynetx & Bumba.
Everything is in working order, except for ONE thing..
Every time a new conversation opens, the icon in the top left corner and in the nav bar (explorer.exe, the bottom of the screen) it shows a different image and I can't work out how to edit this.
Any help?
Thanks ~ Dheano
P.S - I'm basing my skin frm mynetx & Bumba's, but I shall add that onto my skin, when finished.

RE: Editing Skins
Hello Dheano,
It'd be easier to understand what you mean if you enclosed a screenshot (s?).
Regards,

RE: Editing Skins
To change that image you have to edit the resources.dll in Apple Live Messenger.

RE: Editing Skins
You can do that with Resource Hacker or any similar resource editor.

O.P. RE: Editing Skins
I googled "Open DLL" and ResHack came up, so I googled ResHack and downloaded it. I have Icon Art so I made some .ico's and changed the images and it now works.
Thanks guys! ~ Dheano

RE: Editing Skins
You should as well consider changing the dll ownership credits, unlike coolzee who left them like they were, in his Longhorn skin.
