RE: Definition/Style Files
i have a feeling it's gonna take me the rest of the day to get close to making this work :P there's a reason i hadn't read the "options for advanced users" section...........i don't think i'm an advanced user of skinning just yet, haha oh well... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 05:41 PM |
Definition/Style Files
As I understand it, if you have an option (for example, the one to remove adverts).....then you tell it to either run, or not run a modified definition file (which i have working) now, if for example i wanted to also have the option to remove certain... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 05:25 PM |
RE: Which Number Relates To What
920 (convframe).......oops :$ okay, but for next time i can't figure one out.......is there an easy way than interpreting the bracketed things in the Consolidated Windows folder? | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 05:12 PM |
Which Number Relates To What
Okay, i'm progressing quite nicely (I think) with this whole skinning malarkey However i'm struggling to figure out which definition/style file relates to which window/section of messenger I've found out some from the "Consolidated Windows" fold... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 05:06 PM |
RE: Start posting your first skins (or attempts at it) :p
nice idea i was thinking though......is it possible to have options to show/hide the Plus! buttons......i know a lot of people don't want the "script" button to be showing.......but in plus options it's either showing both, or showing neither ju... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 03:58 PM |
RE: Custom Option panel
hmm, true......that might be something for patchou to consider......adding in the ability to just put random lines of txt on the options screen or even to have an "about" button possible to be put on the options screen that would open up a seperat... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 03:56 PM |
RE: Custom Option panel
hmm, i didn't do mine like that i just put it all in the same SkinInfo.xml file using the basic options panel as described under the "User Modifiable Options" of the documentation, rather than using the advanced custom one | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 03:48 PM |
RE: Custom Option panel
did you put the options code in the right place? it took me a while to get mine to show up......but now not only does it show up, it actually works :) and you don't have to reload messenger to get the options thing to display after adding it into th... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 03:24 PM |
RE: Freeware alternative to XMLSpy?
thanks......i'll guess i'll give xmlpad3 a try then it's gotta be better than MS Notepad, which is what i'm using at the moment :P also, you mentioned Notepad++......what didn't you like about that? just for reference :) | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 01:01 PM |
RE: Messenger Got f*cked up
yeah, i figured out how to add a new picture, etc so it's not replacing the old one, cos when i did that it wouldn't accept a transparent backgrounded png and any other format would be intereferred with the normal background colour or is that the p... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 12:58 PM |
RE: C'Mon then I'll be the first to ask
okay, well at the moment it comes out like the attached file and it's meant to be like that.....EXCEPT that the background isn't meant to be black, it's meant to be whatever colour the user has selected for messenger (in my case pink) at the momen... | djdannyp | | 11-18-2007 at 12:40 AM |
RE: Freeware alternative to XMLSpy?
I'm new to the XML game (well.....ish :P) and am after an editor what didn't you like about XML Notepad can I ask? I had a look that that xmlpad3 and it looks very compicated :S | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 11:56 PM |
RE: C'Mon then I'll be the first to ask
yes, that's EXACTLY what i'm trying to do!......just have a transparent background on a cut-out picture so that it just shows the picture over the normal wlm log-in screen (complete with contacts own selected colour), and then just has the cut-out... | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 11:25 PM |
RE: C'Mon then I'll be the first to ask
i think it may be some time before i master that, lol i want to though, cos it'll be a good area to skin with for the idea i've had for my first skin | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 11:12 PM |
RE: Messenger Got f*cked up

RE: C'Mon then I'll be the first to ask
okay, i have a releated question :) assuming i can figure out those instructions and remove ads (once we've sorted out this transparency issue...shh, off topic!!), would it be possible to put something else there? like just a picture to fill that s... | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 10:42 PM |
RE: Messenger Got f*cked up
no, you've misunderstood i want to put a cut-out picture onto the log-on screen, but still have the existing messenger colour showing through (but NOT affecting the colour of the picture) basically i have a picture of kelly brook, and i've cut it o... | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 10:17 PM |
RE: C'Mon then I'll be the first to ask
Patchou says it can be done......i'm just not entirely sure how, lol Glad i'm not the only one struggling though, i was feeling a bit stupid at first, haha | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 09:50 PM |
RE: C'Mon then I'll be the first to ask

RE: Messenger Got f*cked up

RE: [request] Display Picture Helper
MS Paint can do it easily, no need to open up any "heavy software" i agree it's a bit of a pain, but you can use paint to crop a picture to exact square size in a matter of a couple of minutes | djdannyp | Scripting | 11-17-2007 at 03:45 PM |
RE: Messenger Got f*cked up
i tried using a png and got a similar style of f*ck up......it was a png the exact same size of the messenger window, but with a transparent background was yours a transparent background png? cos i think that's what messes it up i just tried a regu... | djdannyp | | 11-17-2007 at 03:13 PM |
