Hi, I was wondering how you can change the position of icons in a conversation frame, e.g changing the block button from the left to the center

This is a question that Willz can answer. He has done exactly what you want. Why don't you try sending him a private message?

O.K Thanks for both your help.

Can anybody write here, how can i change the icon position? What im change or edit to moving!!??!??!?!?(in the style or in the definition? or where and what?)

In the definition file just find the element and either change the "layoutpos" value, or move the element to above/below another element.

Which icon(s) in particular are you trying to move?

You'll want to select something like this in 920 def

i wanna move all icons...and DP...and PSM THX the helps!

Well tbh we're not going to do the skin for you, only you know what you want, and you'll have to slog through like the rest of us with trial and error. You may even need to completely re-write the dashboard/conversation header area as is the case with my skin in progress and Evo

but otherwise just play around with the defs adding deleting, merging elemetns etc

Is not too easy, because i wanna move the "Remember Me" on the log in scr, and is not move =\

We know it's not easy, this is the common mistake with skinning, sure simple icon replacement and other stuff is a blitz with plus's new engine but making up your own xml for the windows etc ain't exactly a walk in the proverbial park

I cut and move this...:

<Element class="FramelessWindowTitle" padding=rect(0,8,0,6) layoutpos=client layout=verticalflowlayout(0,0,0,0) ContentAlign=0x00000004|0x00000100>
<EmoticonText id=atom(WindowText) richeditstyle=RichText|HideSelection|DisableDrag|ReadOnly active=inactive/>
<Element id=atom(WindowSubText) layout=borderlayout()>
<Element layoutpos=left layout=borderlayout()>
<PSMElement id=atom(WindowPSM) Layout=BorderLayout()>
<Element id=atom(idPSM) Layout=VerticalFlowLayout(0,2,3,2)>
<HtmlView ShowEmoticons=true HandleLinksOnly=false yscrollable=false id=atom(idPSMView) Active=MouseAndKeyboard Accessible=True Tooltip=True AccState=64/>
</Element>
<Element id=atom(idCurrentSong) Layout=BorderLayout() Visible=False>
<Element id=atom(idSongIcon) Active=Inactive/>
<UrlElem id=atom(idSongText) Layout=VerticalFlowLayout(0,2,0,2) class="PSMUrl" CmdID=2339 ShowAmpersand=False>
<WLEditT id=atom(idSongInnerText) active=inactive/>
</UrlElem>
</Element>
</PSMElement>

...to under the TextInputBox, and save and restart, but it isnt work. Why? I have a problem with the moved "part"?? Or what?

Check the SkinTrace file if messenger refuses to open (that's assuming you've set <TraceFile>True</TraceFile> in your SkinInfo.xml) and it'll tell you what line of code is causing the problem, and which definition and style sheets were last loaded (it'll be in one of those).

Sometimes elements cannot be moved outside of other container elements and this may cause problems.

Skinning takes a LOT of trial and error.  It took me 2 days of trial and error to just reposition a picture to be aligned with the display pictures in the conversation window.

We can give you advice and help and stuff, but we're not gonna make you skin for you

Yes, i know your last sentence And Where is the Trace File? I dont know, because im not use this!

You need to insert:

code:

---

<TraceFile>True</TraceFile>

---

The edited file is loaded, so i dont know why not load my moving...

Last time I checked, the TraceFile was enabled by default.

If Messenger is in tray, but won't open up the Main-window, something got wrong while parsing the resources for the Main-window. Check the TraceFile for more information on the error.

The TraceFile:

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
The files you've entered in your SkinInfo.xml doesn't exist in your skin-folder.

it seems that you've referenced things in your SkinInfo file that you haven't included in the skin directory.

all of those images (268.png, etc) need to be included in the skin's directory, or if they are in subfolders then they need to be referenced correctly in your SkinInfo file.

I find the problem: im not write the file name to the Definitions...the file name is in the <Windows>"file name"<Definitions>

Restart, and i read this:

08/01/07 21:06:54| DUIParserFailure: parse error '/' 440
08/01/07 21:07:02| DUIParserFailure: parse error '/' 440

There's probably a syntax error in a Style/Definition you've replaced. The error will probably be inside the file for the last loaded resource (read about it in the SkinTrace file).

Yessss!!!! Its work THANKS 4 EVERYBODY THE HELP TO me!!!!!
