Note the last edit I made on my last post if you didn't already see it

I changed the exntension using WinRAR:
opened the program.. then pressed 'add' then in archive name i changed .rar to .plsk  ..there was an option below to chose from .ZIP or .RAR.  I ignored it (although one had to be pressed).. then i checked the new file's options it is .plsk and opens with msn.. but when i double click it or import it in plus! it says that:
"the file you tried to load does not appear to have a valid messenger plus! skin pack" =/  and it didn't appar in the skins' list

about the <graphic> tag.. there isn't any under the <new> element..
or..I didn't understand correctly ...

xml code:

<Pictures>
                        <Picture Id="59000">
                            <File>59000.png</File>
                            <Metadata>
                                <Colorize>true</Colorize>
                                <UMLeft>1</UMLeft>
                                <UMTop>1</UMTop>
                                <UMRight>1</UMRight>
                                <UMBottom>1</UMBottom>
                            </Metadata>
                        </Picture>
                    </Pictures>   
                </New>

(that's for adding a new picture to the buddylist background...i couldn't figure out wich picture to replace for the login background =s)

you have to click "zip" and then change the extension to .plsk...

it's not working =/

thanks everybody for your patience and help.. deeply DEEPLY appreciate it..
I took a look at some examples of some XML files and i was somehow (by alot of trial and error and compairing many files) to add the picture to the buddy list.. logon window.. chat window.. i kinda have an idea of how to change sizes of windows.. (but idk about the definitions and styles though.. if any can help me out on this? =)  cause i intend to continue learing and making skins)
i figured out myself how to change strings.. and some pictures..

I was not able to change the whole color of the windows.. or to change any colors  =s
I managed to transfor the thing into a usable .plsk file ^^

but.. my friend.. didn't have plus! when he DLed it.. he got a trojan virus.. and all the mess that comes with that.. idk if it's safe to download plus! again for him??
or could i like.. send him the plus! files from my computer?
i dont want that virus issue to come up again..(that is if he did agree to do so..)

Download Plus! from here only, to ensure that it's safe and hasn't been repackaged or anything

thanks for replaying =)

that's the same site we both used for downloading  =/

Ok, have you installed the sponsor? It is sometimes flagged as Trojan or Virus...

yes sponser was installed..
(would plus work if i just gave him the files that i have on my laptop?)
cause somehow i don't know how i can convince him to download plus again after what happend..
