Your "Powered..." is messed up

Remove the border all together by deleting

// draw a border around the image
imagerectangle($im, 0, 0, $width-1, $height-1, $bordercolour);

---

If you added a link to a background image, i could set you one up

if anyones having trouble with transparencys do the following change:

replace:

code:

---

// finished now just make the image a PNG and show it
header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

---

code:

---

// finished now just make the image a GIF and show it
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
imagegif($im);
imagedestroy($im);

---

I made a awesome background template with this script provided by Hmaster. It's not done, Hmaster is still trying to figure out how we can move the status image around so people like me who are using custom sig templates can move the status icon around. Like in mine, I would like it perfectly centered in the DP container.

Cheers to Joel for the PSD for this .

made by: nitemare

but cant add here run out of space in sig..lol

Finished it:


Just move it to your folder

Awesome dude! You know how you did that thing to the powered by message? Do you think you can do that with the offline, online, busy, ect message? Cause it kinda looks weird with the text that is on it now.

Nope, because thats generated with the w2m png

does anyone knows a good free php host? i tried some and or they are unstable (go offline many times) or dont process well the php script for the web2messenger backgroung

thnks

I've finely done one !

Lol nice

Nice mod, hadnt thought of that. Not sure that the server will crash again but cool...

I will be releasing teh auto resizing script soon as too many ppl asked me for that one. Will be posted as soon as released

apperently the script has stoped working, it nolonger accepts teh status image as a valid png file

It works again now
My generator isnt finished so you can use my friends here:
http://www.place2chat.be/web2sig/

Hey people. Updating you all.

The new updated scripts can now be found at a new place:
http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m

-------------------------------------

Ive finished one of the two generators
http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=cgen
It basically lets you add any colour to your web2messenger sigs bg/nick/psm!

--------------------------------------


I have finished the dynamic sigs.
You prob seen then in my sig
Thanks to all the helpers and people who helped coding.

You url code for you sig can be found here:
http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=dynamic

A few examples:





New MSN! - changes size


-----
updated first post

awsome

np, updated the ^ post a little

how about for hosts which have the fopen wrapper disabled? (allow_url_fopen to in the php.ini)
you should check to see if  its enabled or not , if it isnt you should fall back on something like curl to download the image then use imagecreatefromstring().

excuse my low knowledge on this but how do u use them?

while hmaster is making backrounds for those, ill be making templaits for Web2Messenger html message sender. Maybe we can join forces his coding and my graphic design

I realy need you to code this template im designing... i suck at php, i havnt even learned php yet, i just know how its structure together

Looks really good Hmaster. As usual, I have a small question about the most recent update. I'm trying out the MSN background on my site, and I have a red-ish/black-ish background on the site. It seems that parts of the MSN image are transparent, including the "Web2Messenger.com" text, as seen in the screenshot below. Is that how it's supposed to be?

how do u get that transparancy anyways? I need to do that on some of mine.

(the link btw is broken)

@thc2010 -- You already have your transparency sorted ?

@cardshark -- No its not meant to be like that. Show me your source?

Anyways I fixed the transparency issue with the msn sigs, enjoy

Anybody with themes that are good and they wish to share please say so !

Another new image. Thanks to Absorbation for the background image.



It should show avatars and resize. Any problems please say.

Go to http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=dynamic
for your url code

Added another image. Thanks this time to matti for the background image.



Go to http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=dynamic

hmaster, any regular png works as a w2m background ? I'm thinking of doing one

Yup any should work. Just PM with the image if you want one done

This one is for Johny, background made by him...


URL Code

@sean : yeh i was thinking about it but I dont really like it myself tbh
I guess i can do some, what colour do people want done first?

@thc: thanks

If you do plan on doing WLM style, I would start with colors like black, red, and blue. They are very simple and clean looking and go with just about anything.

Keep up the great work on these. I love being able to use the generators instead of trying to figure out how to tweak the code myself (I suck at it majorly).

and why cant i see mine

OK ill start making some wlm ones. I really cant be bothered to install it again so does anyone have any screenys of the top part of wlm in different colours?

@guanako which one is yours..?

Good work
More interesting than that site was the livemessenger site in the links

Ok just added my own web2messenger.com text...

Ive changed the way you can view the dynamic images and added a new feature!

There is now a new added feature which allows you to set your own x and y co-ordinates of the w2m image.

Check it out here : http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=dynamic

Note: The help for the x/y feature is at the bottom. Please read the page properly
More backgrounds coming soon...

Done an image by Zephyrus:


http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=dynamic
Image is under Special -> Web2MSN

Windows Live Messenger Update!
Added
-Orange
-Blue
-Light blue
-Green
-Black
themes that look like the top of wlm(msn8)

eg:




Added a seperate category for it:
Get your url code here:
http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=dynamic

i love it

Hmaster, I don't know if you realized but, under the "Special Images" list, "Shiro" shows up twice.

Still great work as always.

it works

Ive updated another part of the w2m section which is the source generator.
The generator asks for certain fields and then outputs a preview of the image and produces a source file for you to upload and use.

Please read all instructions properly

To get your source file go here:
http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/?page=w2m&sec=sgen

Please read all instructions properly

Slightly off-topic, sorry.

I just wondered how in the web2messenger sigs that if I have a personal status set it is able to get rid of the default text and just keep my text...

For example, if I have a personal status activated, eg 'Sleeping', on the msn contact list my name will be displayed as, eg 'Kieran (Sleeping) (Away)'. Yet in the signature it is just displayed as 'Kieran (Sleeping)'.

@kierant: That's because W2M fully supports Messenger Plus!.

@hmaster: Great script, m8! Maybe you have to enable the support for textcolor values (name_, psm_, status_). That would be even cooler!

Everyone is asking why it doesnt support textcolours for the seperate parts, but it does!

Put the w2m vars before the username eg


code: http://dxlabs.skarz.co.uk/w2m/dynamic/wlmorange/n...ffffff/hmaster.png

enjoy

I knewd that, but it would be more usefull if you have extra inputs for them on the page.
You know, for the n00bie persons...

omg errors .....
silly people depending on url wrappers.

Erm there are a few problems (apart from the obvious ones that dt pointed out)
Like the incorrect displaying of my dp ..... i have pm'med you a list

Anyways in the pic quoted my lp15 above me ...... you need to fix the gradient between the top and the bottom images
The mismatching gradient ruins everything

@dt im going to use curl in my next update

@lp15 that was coded by me for sean as a request. I may have a psd of wave11 colours and make some! the bottom bar is seperate images that sean added

@JohnAnderton check your pm

I'm sorry for posting on a old topic, but since the W2M images are down, it isn't impossible to make your own status images!

The service has 2 alternatives: either a .txt file with the status information or a .xml file, which can be accessed with the following URL:

code:

---

http://www.web2messenger.com/status/UserName.txt
http://www.web2messenger.com/status/UserName.xml

---

Lol, thats just what I was working on, I'm just trying to make the plus colours work

Allright! Keep it up!
