O.P. RE: Im new to skinning messenger(And new to codding XML)and i need some help.
HIS MAD!

Oh and when i said "what should i replace"

I meant replacing strings for funnys :P.

Eg.
"You should never give out your password or credit card number"
becomes
"You should never give out your password or credit card number, or unless you want to be scammed and robbed.... then please, send them immediately  to me at www.RRElive.com "

"Your messege could not be deliverd to all recipents."
becomes
"The message could not be delivered to all recipients, please check your number and try again."

"[name] has just sent a nudge"
becomes
"[name] just sent you a nudge. I strongly recommend nudging them back for revenge!"

Ive got tones more allready :D

Yeah I gave up on strings replacement, I edited the whole strings.txt then realised I gotta do each one separately in SkinInfo :( Beaver and Steve Skin was designed to have lots of strings changed to include the word "unfeasible" "adventure" "Beaver says" "Blame Steve"

"There appears to be a problem with your connection. Blame Steve"
"Beaver says that you're about to send a potentially dangerous file"
"Your contact appears to be away. Maybe they're having an unfeasible adventure"

etc. You get the drift, :P

In the comic beaver is fairly sensible and almost like a mother figure to Steve who will most likely conduct a science experiment that will go horribly wrong, or bake a demon summoning cake or 2, so my edits played on their traits :P

Hahah cool as!

I wish you could just use the index, itd make the whole process a bit quicker. But meh, you just have to add <String Id=""> and </String> to it...

My Status away one is"%1 is %2. But we all know there lying,there on there but just ignoring you... nudge em!"(%1 name)(%2 status)

RE: Im new to skinning messenger(And new to codding XML)and i need some help.
Anyone ever find a solution to mattisdada's problem with editing the colours of the strings on the logon window?

I am looking specifically to change the colour of the "Remember me" "Remember my password" and "Sign me in automatically" strings. I changed the element ComonLabel, but that only changed the colour of the "E-mail address:" and "Sign in as <status>" strings. I've tried editing everything else in the 947 Style that has anything to do with font but none seem to change the strings I want.

Help please (Smilie)

Using 8.5 btw.

pretty simple vaccination heres how you do it, the string ids are listed below.

quote:
61288=Remem&ber me
61289=Saves your e-mail address and status on this computer
61291=(Forget &me)
61294=Remove my sign-in information from this computer
61295=&Remember my password


so now go to 947 styles file and do ctrl+f and type in 61288 the code your looking for is:

quote:
Checkbox[id=atom(idRememberMeChk)]
{
text:rcstr(61288);
accname:rcstr(61288);
accdesc:rcstr(61289);
shortcut:rcchar(61288);
Margin:rcrect(20048);
Foreground:rgb(255,255,255); // added in
}


the foreground line wont be there but if you add that in setting your colour to whatever you desire then itll work now lets do remember my password which i string 61295 so we search for 61295 and viola

quote:
Checkbox[id=atom(idRememberPasswordChk)]
{
text:rcstr(61295);
accname:rcstr(61295);
accdesc:rcstr(61296);
shortcut:rcchar(61295);
accdefaction:rcstr(20068);
Margin:rcrect(20048);
Foreground:rgb(255,255,255); // added in
}


again as the comments indicate the foreground line was added in to do the colour, if you wanna colour the text "Windows live ID which is in the bottom left hand corner of login screen its id is 20000 and you guessed it same process as the other 2.

i hope this helped vaccination any problems dont hesitate to ask me.
