i am running WLM 9 beta and even though this skin is said to be compatible with it, I cannot use it as basically non of my contacts are shown The whole contact window is just shown white, there is a blue slider on the right but that doesn't move.

Is there a fix for this or do I just have to delete and use another one?

did you have a previous version of Apple skin installed before??? if your answer is YES please delete the entire apple skin folder and reinstall* it again... as a test...

* using the version downloaded from the Official Data Base...

Thanks for the reply, it wasnt installed previously thus there was no folder, but for continuity's sake I did as you asked with the folder that was there now. Downloaded the skin installer again from the link given above (version 0.1.0) and it is still the same.

I get toasts and everything else, I just cannot see my contacts

FYI I tried the Skyline skin and that works fine.

I'll check it out when i get home, as far as i know it tested fine on 9.0 when i added it.

Is there anythin in Skin Trace.txt in the skin's folder?

and saves me from having to change it while testing

Sorry there is no Skin Trace.txt file in the "Apple Live Messenger" folder, the closest match to it is SkinInfo.xml is that the one you mean?

I have noticed that the Skylines skin has additional folders listed, namely Images, OptionPanel and UIFiles could that be the problem? ie the Apple one doesnt have those folders, just everything lumped into the root directory?

No mate... SkinInfo file is where all the skin information is declarated... the skintrace file is a text file where all the skin errors are displayed... but if no error exists... no skintrace file will be created...

the folders are some kind of organazation used by the skinner... to have all files of a kind in one place... so don't worry cause that is not the problem... this is just that mynetx is very unorganized jajajaja just kindding my friend...

Hello BeLGaRaTh,
it'd be best to enclose a screenshot of what is wrong with the Apple Live Messenger skin on Windows Live Messenger 9. Additionally, feel always free to add me on Messenger at the address specified within my msghelp profile.

Just to confirm: Tested it on my own PC (WLM9), works fine here.

Maybe you have some elements patched using either Messpatch or A-Patch. Please provide as many details about the error as you can in order for me to solve it in 0.1.1, which is going to be released in some weeks nevertheless.

Sorry was so long getting back, hospital day today

Don't have any hosting at the moment so have uploaded the images HERE

I dont use any other patching other than MSGPlus (the ads are automatically blocked at the bottom by AdMuncher, as a test I turned AdMuncher off and it was still the same, nothing showing )

The pictures you uploaded do not appear at all. I see just some weird letters. Please attach them here.

Tried attaching them both here before but it will only allow 1 attachment and that doesnt show up in preview. I will try again now.

2nd image showing Skylines working.

next time you should use some external image host provider to upload that file and avoid reply twice...

Any further help on this?

Expect ALM 0.1.1 to be more compatible with WLM9.

i had the same problem it was a image over the contacts i think - it was a while ago (msn 9 sucked so i went back to 8.5) but i hunted for a blank image but i think it was in the xml file or somthin...

I hope the buddy list icons are updated for WLM9
