Unless I'm missing something from the tests I've just done with no skins applied....WLM alerts don't colourize at all, regardless of your scene or the contact's scene...they're just default blue

If WLM worked, I'd still be skinning and scripting

What happened?

Felu: <3

I'd so love to have created a skin during the competition ;( Oh well!

More dodgy colourising behaviour (not sure if it's the same as reported before).

I've replaced a few resources at the bottom of messenger, to give my own style to the ad-container.  They're the original picture from messenger just edited slightly....and set to colourise.

On most colours they colourise properly.......however on black and white (and some others too), they just go to a wierd kind of dark red colour

I can't explain it

djdannyp can you please post a screenshot to illustrate it better...

Another limitation, it seems the standard toolbar in the chat window now has a hardcoded height. It isn't that big of a deal since the majority of skins probably wont go over it, but for the skinner looking for something more unique its just not going to happen.

Anyway from some tests I have found the maximum height of the toolbar to be 30px (this includes element padding) anything after that causes the toolbar to squish elements.

On the left you see normal colourisation.......on the left, is what happens with black, white & grey

Sorry for the double post, but here's some completely seperate stuff, copied from the beta forum:

I kind of need these issues addressing......some are suggestions for the new plus.....some are me not being able to figure out how to do things!


1. Pictures in line with DP - Main problem!
Anyone who's used/seen my skin will know that I have a picture that goes in line with the display pictures, resting 'on top' of the lower display picture.  On the new beta I have put this picture in place, however there appears to be padding around the DP....due to not being able to decode the msrle object that provides the image for the DP border, I'm not sure as to whether it's a certain amount of padding included in the picture itself, or if there is some padding somewhere in the UI file that i'm missing (i've tried removing almost every padding option in and around the DP code and I've had no joy).......any ideas?

2. Working CMDID for skin options button - Suggestion
It's a semi known issue that due to the dividing of the contact list into two different UIs, but a workaround was found for the Preferences and Script button......any advances on one for the skin options button?

Now fixed as of 354


3. Tabbed options window - More of a suggestion
Originally suggested by Willz, it would be a VERY decent way to separate out skin options that only apply to 8.5 and to 9/14....as the new interface means that some things don't apply to both versions

Extra information for 1.

code:

---

<element id=atom(meleftsidecontainer) layout=FlowLayout(2,1,0,2) layoutpos=bottom>
<clipperh layoutpos=bottom class="AvatarClipper" layout=BorderLayout()>
<element id=atom(secondpicture)>
</element>
</clipperh>
<element id=atom(mecontainer) layout=BorderLayout() selected=false>

---

Top and bottom lines are just for context.....but that produces the picture in virtually the right position, but with a few px gap between them.  Also, whatever layoutpos i apply to "clipperh" it doesn't seem to actually alter the position of the picture.  also, the element "secondpicture" doesn't contain any layout/aligning data, just the picture to be added
