Background Doesn't Change. by Xikeon on 12-09-2007 at 10:18 AM

Hello,

I've got WLM9 and following the Skinning Documentation. It says this to change bg:

code:
                    <Graphics><Pictures>
                        <Picture Id="20061">
                            <File>clouds.jpg</File>
                        </Picture>
                    </Pictures></Graphics>
                </Replace>

So I changed it and downloaded a bg and changed it to it:
code:
                    <Graphics>
                        <Pictures>
                            <Picture Id="20061">
                                <File>mac_xmas.jpg</File>
                            </Picture>
                        </Pictures>
                    </Graphics>
                </Replace>
Why doesn't it change?

Thanks.
Xikeon.

Because the documentation is based on the current released Windows Live Messenger version(8.5). Anything can change (IDs too) in a future Messenger version.

If you are not an official tester you shouldn't be using version 9.0 anyway.

Is there a way to find the ID's for images? Like a file or something which defines them?

Extract the resources through Plus'es skin panel and look into the folder it creates to find the new.
