RE: i can download msgplus but i cant install it
When you install Messenger Plus, make sure you do not install the sponsor program (it is optional). Aside from that, the sponsor isn't a trojan of any kind at all. It is just adware, and it opens a few popups in your browser and so on. There is noth...

Coloured nicknames and the infobar
I mentioned this a short time ago in another thread in skinning, but I thought I may as well report it here as well. If you skin the infobar in the chat window, and a contact's name happens to include color tags in it, the rest of the text after the...

RE: help with the d opening of simultaneously account
If possible, bring up the task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and check whether there is more than one instance of "msnmsgr.exe". If there is, then the polygamy feature should be working correctly.

RE: [Help] Infobar font color
Where's the screenshot? :P Anyway, there is no perfect way to change the text colour of the infobar, and the strings themselves are pretty much impossible. This is because the infobar uses HTML to display its text, and WLM doesn't appear to have th...

RE: cant read message, typed in symbols
Messenger Plus! Live offers a font override feature, that allows you to set a custom font for your contacts. You can only override the font for all contacts, however. To override your contacts' font: Messenger Plus! Live Preferences -> Conversations...

RE: [split] can someone please show me how to send a mass message on MSN?
There is an easier way, I've just found out. On WLM 8.5, click "Show Menu" in the contact list. Go into the "Actions" submenu, and select "Send an instant message...". The dialog that comes up allows you to select the recipients far easier tha...

RE: [split] can someone please show me how to send a mass message on MSN?
Just start a conversation with all the contacts you want to send the message to, and type in what silent-viper said in one of them :) Your message will be sent to all of the currently open conversations.

RE: PSM--> Normal invisible and MouseOver visible?
It should work if you add [font=Courier]Alpha: 255;[/font] to the [mousefocused] state, because DirectUI elements inherit properties from its previous state. For example, if you had an element with normal, mousefocused and pressed states, and you onl...

RE: FIRST STEP.
Those aren't images, they're windows :P Anyway, editing image 20061 is a good place to start, but you could also mockup what you want your skin to look like first, in a program like Photoshop, Paint.NET, GIMP, even plain old MSPaint (Not really ad...

RE: Symbols viewing problem?
This is because the font used by WLM9 does not have these characters, so they will show up as boxes. The font used by 8.5 (Tahoma if you're on XP, not sure about Vista though) also does not have these characters, so whatever your version and OS, the...

RE: Need Help with adding Hyperlink
Unfortunately, there is no possible way to include a link other than using the AboutUrl. It may have been possible during the time of MSN Messenger, but afaik it used DirectUI then as well. Attached are the 947 style and definition edited as per my p...

RE: Need Help with adding Hyperlink
If you're trying to use the HTML code (<a href> etc.) to put a hyperlink in your skin, this is impossible as Messenger does not support the HTML standards, but rather uses a mix of XML and something like CSS. The only way (that I know of) to put a l...

RE: My run in with 81000306
I usually find that resetting my router (just unplugging it, waiting, say, 20 seconds before plugging it back in again) does the trick. Dunno why though, not exactly an expert on this, so it may not work. But just in case :P

RE: Aussies: Theres no place like home
I live in Australia, pest control so far has managed to keep pretty much everything out. Either that or the spiders are being unnaturally kind to me.

RE: Turning off contact cards
If you're talking about the chat window DP, it's not possible afaik. I've tried. There doesn't appear to be a cmdid for it (WLM must control it directly), but I'll take another look. EDIT: I opened the 920 definition (and style just in case) an...

RE: Need help with Wordpress themes
I've almost finished it, still a bit of stuff to go. I've hit a problem with the footer (see the link in the OP). It doesn't appear to be moving down to accomodate the posts. Does anyone know why this is? I think all I need to do is move the [font...

RE: Need help with Wordpress themes
OK thanks MenthiX! :D Working fine over here :undecided: If you see a 404 error page with orange text, that's the style I mean, except left aligned and with a bit of padding on the left. EDIT: Try clicking on the Skins link in my sig, perhaps.

I've just installed Wordpress at the temporary directory of [url]http://cmyk.890m.com/blogzorz[/url], and am trying to get it to match the rest of the site (see [url]http://cmyk.890m.com/skins[/url] for an example). What files do I need to edit, is ...

RE: How to disable "Last message..." in WLM chat window
AFAIK there isn't a way to do it properly with Messenger, but you can get rid of it by editing the UIFiles. I made a simple skin that edits the conversation window to hide the convo status bar (you can turn this on and off, the bar is hidden by defa...

IIRC just CTRL + click ^o) EDIT: Just tested it, it works. CTRL+click on the songs you want to make gapless, or use CTRL+A (Select All).

RE: unskinned
Bit of an understatement, methinks :P But yes, Plus! windows in Oil Slick (and most other skins so far) are apparently insanely hard to control (Willz can testament to that :D), hence the reason not many skins do this. It also doesn't really matter...

RE: unskinned
Oil Slick doesn't skin Plus!, just the Options panel.
