A few weeks ago, on the same version of wlm I'm using, I managed to remove the scrollbar from the contact list using a LayoutPos:none in the 1001 style.

code:

---

{
AccName:rcstr(20195);
AccRole:3;
Accessible:true;
Padding:rcrect(20188);
BorderThickness:rcrect(20190);
BorderColor:rcclr(59504);
LayoutPos:none;
}

---

Like that. The "LayoutPos:none;" was also copy'd into the 1004 style. both 1001 and 1004 have that piece of code included in both the normal Scrollbar[vertical] and the Simple Scrollbar[vertical].

but it doesn't work anymore / it doesnt work for Open Live (1.1.1).

It used to work with a skin I used before, sadly I don't recall which.
I also managed to tweak something else about it,
all "visible:false" or "visible=false" results into the space where the scrollbar is, being completely transparant. That means the Contact List Contact Mouse Over and such, will be blocked and invisible at that particular part. The attached picture shows what I mean, indicated with a pretty red border.

I can't find a way to remove them using layoutpos=none or a padding=rect.
I also hate to be feeded with the line of code, instead of learning it myself, if possible please reply in a teaching way, if not then please tell me how it's pulled of..

EDIT: Picture added. Again x_x

Can you please attach the image so we can understand your problem easier?

About the scrollbars, keep in mind that if you want to remove the scrollbars from every window and not just the contact list you need to open all style files and do that. If you only want to do that in the contact list, then you should also edit style 1009 which is the detailed contact list.

923, 1001, 1004, 1009, all have the LayoutPos:none; code at both regular and [vertical] scrollbars.
it still doesnt work. does anyone know the answer?

I'm not sure why you'd want to remove an essential part of messenger's makeup like that. Why not try embedding the scrollbar elements in definitions inside another element and try layoutpos=none 'ing that

923 - 4005
1001 - 4005
1004 - 4005
1009 - 4005

replaces
borderthickness:rect(0,0,0,0);

on the subject of making things invisible alpha(=/0 is also good too. (and a great way to cheat/force things to stay when you maximize windows too)

4005 is, sadly, a number I don't recognize. using open live, I've only just mass changed images and the def/style files, but didn't come across that number.

I tried setting the 923, 1001, 1004, 1009 style files to the borderthickness:rect(0,0,0,0);, but that didn't work.

So, I'm doing it wrong. The 4005 seems to be the answer. But, how does that work?

4005 = styles

Hm. I'll try adding a padding. I know for sure it's in the style files, it worked last time. Now let's hope a padding of 1600,0,0,0 doesnt screw it all up. D:
