RE: Msg Plus Window Colour
/me appears before a cloud of smoke because he was summoned. :P Ok well first of all I am well aware of this issue. I did work around it a bit in the first release by setting the toast text to white so that If someone did colorize to black it would b...

RE: Im new to skinning messenger(And new to codding XML)and i need some help.
Well you got to talk to whoever made it then. I just hope you asked permission to use it before you started ;) Its not a good idea when you are starting to just use a more complex example. Its better to start fresh because then you can keep track o...

RE: Im new to skinning messenger(And new to codding XML)and i need some help.
you cant edit the colour of a string just by itself, you need to find it in the UIFile code under the styles section and then use the foreground tag to change its colour for each and every instance (and thats if its there) secondly, any string you re...

RE: Would a "MSN Messenger 2.0" skin be possible?
meh, to be honest I don't think this is something people are gonna dig. Like yeah I'm all for the old school messenger resurrecting (like 8.1 and 8.0 beta). But this is like going from XP back to windows 98 :P Plus because the UI relied more on win...

RE: Im new to skinning messenger(And new to codding XML)and i need some help.
Any WLM 9.0 UIfile will only work under WLM 9.0. It is not backwards compatible nor will it be compatible with say wlm 9.5 or 10 (the next major version) The same goes for 8.5. 8.5 UIfile code is for 8.5 only. I've explained the reason why it is lik...

RE: [Release] Ev0 3.1.6
bug 1: existed only in version 3.0.0, version 3.0.2 does not contain this bug, please re-download Ev0 to fix it. bug 2: if you are talking about the border color thats not a bug, thats just how wlm behaves with colorization bug 3: will be fixed in th...

RE: [QQ] Arrow beside DN/PSM
the arrow next to the nickname and PSM is not a image resource, it is a string that comes under the element with the word "caret" so you can only change the color of it. Unless of course you add code to replace it with an image.

RE: [help]
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=799 06 take a look at my tutorials, it explains things really well. Also contains a list of what is each UIFile is used for. Elements will be covered in part 3.

RE: [Help] Login picture WLM.
Use the consolidated windows feature in Plus! when extracting your resources. It will show what each window contains in its own folder. For a list of what each UIFile does please see this thread: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=799 06

RE: [request]8.5 skin to 9.0 skin converter.
Something like this is not feasible due to the amount of variables that can occur in a skin. For something that just modifies resources its possible, but when you touch things such as UIFIle code it is simply not possible. For example : Ev0 3 uses cu...

RE: [Help] Can WLM 8.5 use Full Transparnt Windows?
Well there seemed to be no real way of controlling it so we saw there was no point to continue, plus since we saw Windows Live Mail Desktop implement we figured MS wouldn't be too far away from doing it themselves.

RE: My ideology on Messenger beta testing
lol this really does make me laugh. Look as most of the other people have outlined already, people arent attacking you because you want to be able to test all conditions or whatever...... Its the fact that you are annoying the hell out of developers ...

RE: [Help] Can WLM 8.5 use Full Transparnt Windows?
No :P I tried that too. Whether or not WLMD uses Aero is written into the WLMD program itself. Because WLM does not have this yet thats why its not possible.

RE: [Help] Can WLM 8.5 use Full Transparnt Windows?
MS will no doubt put glass in one day, but on terms of being able to control it.......well thats anyones guess. Again we have to wait until MS implements glass in Windows Live Messenger then we can talk about it.

RE: [Help] Can WLM 8.5 use Full Transparnt Windows?
lol if you are trying to force glass on WLM shawnz then good luck. TheSteve tried this months ago and found that there is no way of getting somewhere. All you can ever get is glass on expanded window mode, and you can't control what element it happe...

RE: [Release] Ev0 3.1.6
But the majority of people aren't asking for an update. By a majority i consider it to be more than 20 people out of the 34000+ that have downloaded my skin. (and yes only about 20 people have asked for a 9.0 version) 20/34000 = 0.05% Your logic is...

RE: [Need Help] Window Cornors, layout="X"layout(), and User Tile
The display picture is not a resource. The sizes of Display Pictures for each window are coded into Windows Live Messenger and can't be edited. The only place you can change the size is in the actual contact list because there is code there that le...

RE: [Release] Ev0 3.1.6
lol :P Ok here is my "ideology" on making skins for beta software: Why don't I make skins for WLM Beta? Simple, ever tried to run an 8.5 skin on 9.0? What happens? It doesn't work. why? Because in every new beta Microsoft changes a whole bunch of...

RE: [Release] Ev0 3.1.6
Agreed. Glad other people understand @riahc4 dude seriously stop being a tool. Tell you what, you try making a skin that is really complex for 8.5, then you try updating it for every new beta build that MS brings out. Then you try dealing with peopl...

RE: Changing Pictures Question
no because WLM already has preset how status images work so you can't edit this. And yes, RLE from older versions can be used but be careful because not all of them will work.
