Lol... no sense to make two versions of the tab...

Just do what slim says:
-Leave 3 news items only
-Add in that same box a compact "Latest Versions" for Plus, MSNMsgr, and when WinMsgr5 comes out we'll see if that too. Make the versions links to the download pages, and remove the download button from the toolbar.

I guess

Well. the lvback.gif trick didn't work at all!!!!

I have added the file in and it's not showing.. must it be a certain size? all i have is just a white background and it looks ugly.


HELP!!

Are you sure you are adding it to the "MSN Messenger" folder inside "Program files" (or whatever it is called in your language) folder? It doesn't need to be of a specific size, just be in GIF format (not only extension) and be named "lvback.gif" (probably, case-sensitive).

Yes, i put it into the exact folder as you said, and no.. it's still give me blank white background on my contact list. what also interesting is that, my Windows Messenger 5.0 has "lvback.gif" file but it isn't showing up on the Windows Messenger 5.0 either.

so i don't know what goes wrong. both Windows Messenger 5.0 and MSN Messenger 6.0 isn't showing the background on the contact list.

Hell yeah the installer is here... I was having so much trouble modyfing the file that I gave up... Kudos to the developer and all who helped

try using .net framework like the neowin tab i think it went well and it was very user friendly and it offered a backup

Looks great... Is there a place where I can just paste the code in my file becuase Its much to sacred (I couldn't think of a better word ) for something to go wrong...

Where can u get the installer for the neowin tab, or do u have to add it yourself (because i also need the location of the tab pic)

%20 is the URL-encodedd variant of space.
