Hey everybody, yes i´m back needing some support again, actually i´m tryng to understand how to change the animation on the logon frame, and i have readed all threads about this topic, but still i cant get it to work, could you guys tell me how to edit the files to finally do this?
But still i have another question: How to change foreground color to the button where user can choose the state to login, actually i´m able to change the foreground color to the rest of the items except for this one (see attachment), once more i hope you can help me!
thx for your answers & apologize for my english!

The animation in the logon frame is controlled by the 208.png, and the throbber at some other places by the 1076.gif. Below you see the Apple Live Messenger 0.1.0 version of these two files.

Well man, thanks for your help, just one question, do i have to change anithyng on definition/style files for this resource? or just add this 208.png on skininfo to replace actual animation?, and please take a look at the other question in the first post please.

Edit: Ok i finally fixed it the animation is working fine now, but i can´t figure out how to change the foreground color on the button i told  to you before, i´ll wait for some help

You only need to replace these resources within the <Replace> section to modify the animation.

Edit the style file for the Window 947 (logonframe), adding a foreground entry:

code:

---

button[class="LogonOptionButton"]
{
foreground: rgb(255, 255, 255);
}

---

(This example should colorize the button text to white.)
Please report if this worked.

Thanks for your help mynetx, i did it the way you told me but id did´nt work, so i´ve searched on the same style file and i found the way to make it work  (so you were almost there), here is what i did:

on 947 style:
element[id=atom(idlogonstatus)]
{
        foreground: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    contentalign:middleleft;
}

And now it´s fixed, so thank you for your mediation, i was about to give up with this. Well, i´m going to ask somethin else, i don´t know how to solve another problem i´m actually having when i try to remove some  items on contact list (search bar, mail button, spaces button...), my skin options menu  when i check the the box to remove search bar, well it works fine at restart i dont see the bar anymore, but also dissapears the other bar with the ads on the left, then i uncheck the option (just to activate the bar again) and after restarting the bar is not back, i´m so confused on this point, i´m wondering if it has a relation with the .reg file, cause i´m not getting a skintrace, so i ask for your help, now that i find someone who can help me.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what ad bar you're talking about. Perhaps a screenshot of which thing you're talking about, and also your current problem?

Hi Nagamasa, yes you´re right, so here is a screenshot:



well I hope you understand my sad english xD!, my current problem is this, i´ve added a options menu to my skin, with options to remove buttons on part "#2." and the search bar "#1.", well it actually works but not so fine, I mean when I select the option to remove an item like search bar, after restarting the searchbar is gone but the another bar at the left "#3." (I don´t know how to all it) also dissapears, so i have to deactivate the option, restart again, and not always they get back, i mean its suposed that if I deactivate the checkbox, the items should appear after restarting, but thats not what is happening, I´m not getting a tracefile and i see that login is a little bit slower that should be, i need your help mates, Thanks for your time.

It's not 100% your fault, it's my fault for being mentally retarded.

FYI, those are tabs.

Imo, I think it's just Messenger being slow at loading everything. My Messenger does this sometimes too. It also happens to the number of emails...they don't appear after a while sometimes. Does it ever appear when you activate the checkbox?

Well, sometimes it takes more time to show them, and maybe its normal, but not when i´m trying to deactivate only the search bar, I mean those tabs should not dissapear when I check this option, and its the same with the rest of the buttons im trying to hide, if I check the option it hides ok, but when I uncheck em, not all times they appear again.
let me know what you think & thanks again man!

Have you made your skin on a patched messenger?
