[Help] Login picture WLM. by tmockingbird on 12-17-2007 at 10:05 PM

Hey guys.. I've been trying to find the picture ID of the picture which is in the top left corner at the login page. At a certain point I found '201', but when I try to replace ID 201 with my own image, it won't work.

I've tried using an actual XML compiler and just plain notepad, neither work. My background however does work just fine. I do have mahlogo.jpg in there, so I really don't understand what is wrong here.

Could anyone point me in the right direction, or give me the picture ID to the logo (it says Windows Live Messenger). Here's the piece of XML that concerns it. 

code:
<Replace>                   
<Graphics><Pictures>
                      <Picture Id="20061"><File>loginback.jpg</File></Picture>
                      <Picture Id="201"><File>mahlogo.jpg</File></Picture>   
</Pictures></Graphics>
</Replace>



Edit: While we're at it, I have another small question. Why do the little blocks appear after
code:
Moar Info (Alt+ *BLOCK HERE*)
and
code:
Change User (Alt+ *BLOCK HERE*)

You've got the wrong picture I think. 700-704 are the ones I think you're looking for. 94. I thought you were looking for the actual text, Windows Live Messenger.

I think it's 94 ;)

ya, it's 94

the box thingys are for keyboard shortcuts
instead of clicking, u can press alt+[an underlined letter in the word]
so you go "&amp;" before any letter in your new string
but make sure you don't do it in front of the same letter twice =P

i hope this helped!

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:
