O.P. How to re-encode an UIB file?
Hi,
I need someone to help me. I extracted UIB files by the extract function in the Skins section of Plus!, I have done changes in Definitions and Styles files, and now I don't know how to do to re-encode the UIB file with the modified files. Thanks!

Read the documentation provided in the same section:

And here is another example of how to re-create a UIB file:

MPTools.exe /UIB=Encode /Def="C:\deffile.txt" /Style="C:\stylefile.txt" /Dest="C:\uibfile.txt"

I have read this document, but how  this command line runs? I tried to run, but I get a message that says that this program(MPTools.exe) only can run from Plus!

Do you want to use them at skins or something that will require Plus! or a completely separate project?

I want to use them for a separate proyect. I can't run the command line MPTools.exe /UIB=Encode /Def="C:\deffile.txt" /Style="C:\stylefile.txt" /Dest="C:\uibfile.txt" to re-create the UIB file.(See my previous answer). I need more details about this to do it.

If you're trying to convert UIBs from other Live applications, then the UIB convertor won't work. For some reason Windows Live Mail, Photo Gallery etc. use a different type of UIB that Messenger Plus! can't recognise. They may all use different types to each other, I haven't checked.
