Question about Oil Slick 1.04 skin by freefaller on 11-19-2008 at 01:15 AM

Hey,

I was wondering if the skin should be working on all pop-up notifications because I noticed that when people sign out it pops up a message but not with the oil-slick skin but with the default skin. Please help! How do I fix this. I am using WLM 8.5 Messenger Plus 4.7 and vista basic 32 bit. Thank you.

The sign-out toast is generated by Plus! IIRC the skin will only skin WLM's own toast pop-up messages (either that or their may be an option in the Skin Options panel for this)

Yes I tried another skin and it worked on the other skin but when I use oil slick it goes back to the default blue gradient message. There are only options to not skin the toasts.

Plus toasts are totally separate from Messengers toasts.

If you change the graphics of Messengers toasts they don't carry over to plus toasts.

It is up to the skinner to actually go in and separately skin plus toasts. The reason most people don't do it is because it is a lot more tedious compared to Messengers toasts since they use a different XML and layout system to Messengers.

If they are coming up as the default blue it means that the skinner has chosen not to skin the plus toasts. There is nothing you can do about it as it is up to the skinner to do it.

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate the work from the creator. I still love it!
