I just started with the window starter tutorial on the documentation... Did everything they said, just copy/pasted and the window won't show up when I save the script D: ideas?

Save the xml file as Unicode in notepad

Also, if you've just copied and pasted the windows, you should make sure to change the window ids to something else, as these windows already exist in Messenger Plus! and AFAIK may cause issues when trying to create them.

WindowIDs do not need be unique across the board... You can use the same WindowID in for multiple windows in a single script as long as the xml for each is in a separate file. In fact, I think you can have multiple instances of the same window open too for that matter (for example the desktop contact window is re-used)

Post the code you use to create the window and the XML of the window itself.

Try to preview your interface xml file by using MP! Interface tester and see if you can preview your window correctly (if not so, you'll get an error message telling you why the window couldn't be loaded). Also, make sure you're calling the MsgPlus.CreateWnd function correctly.

First things first you are missing a big chunk of the header:

XML code:

---
