O.P. [Fixed(Contact List Error)] & [Request(Display Picture Border UM)]
code:
08/10/19 18:02:10| **** The trace has started ****
08/10/19 18:02:10| Skin: Open Live 1.5.0
08/10/19 18:02:10| Messenger version: 8.5.1302.1018 (nl-nl)
08/10/19 18:02:10| Messenger Plus! version: 4.70.334

08/10/19 18:02:10| Last style sheet file loaded: 1004
08/10/19 18:02:10| Last picture file loaded: 20201
08/10/19 18:02:10| DUIParserFailure: parse error ')' 322
08/10/19 18:02:10| DUIParserFailure: Failed to locate stylesheet 'clss' -1
This is a repeating error at Skin Trace.txt. For as far I could tell, the problem is either in, or after the 1004 Definition and Style.
Then, there's the last 2 lines of this error wich I do not understand.
What does this tell me?
I got this problem after switching to detailed contact list mode. The amount of changes I made are huge, and I can't recall wich of these changes messed up the contact list. I hadn't noticed until today, as I was using the nondetailed contact list to test things on for a while.
This problem is sure to occur to more than just me, and then again I hope someone knows solutions, or can tell me how to deal with this problem.

Edit: Fixed! The semi-last line told me the problem was at line 322, and then I understood the parse error ")". There was an extra ) in the style file.


Subject 2:

When I change some numbers about the Display Picture Borders, in Skininfo.xml, it seems to mess up the display pictures in msn.

code:
                            <Metadata>
                                <Colorize>true</Colorize>
                                <UMLeft>9</UMLeft>
                                <UMTop>8</UMTop>
                                <UMRight>14</UMRight>
                                <UMBottom>15</UMBottom>
                            </Metadata>
What are these numbers representing? Are these numbers the distance in pixels from the edges of the .png, to the edges of the display picture itself?
I can't figure this myself atm, I only have skininfo and some style/definition files on my usb to tweak on another pc. hope someone can help me ;)

  • Untouched Margin Metadata. If not specified, backgrounds will be displayed in mosaics. Four elements are available for this metadata: <UMLeft>, <UMTop>, <UMRight> and <UMBottom>. If at least one of these elements is set to something else than 0, the background will be stretched. The Untouched Margin parameters allow you to specify the size of the margin that must not be stretched. For example, if <UMLeft> is set to 3, the whole picture will be stretched  except for the first 3 pixels on the left side of the picture. This is particularly useful when you want to add borders in your background pictures.
