Embedded Scenes, Backgrounds, and Dynamic Backgrounds? by XP1 on 01-20-2009 at 01:03 AM

Embedded Scenes & Backgrounds (+Dynamic)?

With the exception of the default WLMessenger theme, all of the pre-included and bundled scenes and backgrounds are copied to separate folders for each profile that is created.

Folders for each user profile created by WLM2009 on logon:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Messenger\ %EMAIL% \ObjectStore\

  • Backgrounds\
  • DynamicBackgrounds\
  • Scenes\
My questions are:
  • Are the pre-included / pre-bundled Windows Live Messenger scenes, backgrounds, and dynamic backgrounds embedded within Messenger itself?
  • Can they be edited from the executable (HEX, Resource Hacker)?
  • If not, how can they be edited before WLM creates the user profile folders?

I'm talking about Windows Live Messenger 2009.
