How about Windows Live Messenger 8.0?
I have been trying to edit the contact list status images. I've looked through all the files in the MSN Messenger program folder and I can't find them. I think they will be PNG but then theres the problem, I can't find PNGs.

I never used to have these problems on 7.5 because PNG was in msnmsgr.exe but on WLM they dont seem to be. Any suggestions?

Tnx

skinning live has changed at it will be explained :)

@ Juzzi yes pritty much everyone of those will be given an explanation. As soon as you learn how they work by knowing those uifiles are really easy. :)

Nice job, but isn't skinning illegal? Thus breaking the rules on the forum?

RE: Skinning: Let's learn how to skin!
IMHO, I would make one seperate tutorial about UIFILEs, because they are the most important resources in MSN Messenger. :)

Editing PNGs and other images is a lot easier to do. But UIFILEs are a lot more complex. They define the way thinks are placed and what they do. (calling what function) UIFILEs also have got some confusing declarations (like padding/borderthickness/...) which new skinners can scare because they don't know what they do and how they must edit them.

Use enough code examples, and this tutorial will be a great base for new skinners! :D

First it is against the "terms of use" which you have to sign and which i have not.
Also as we know plus! is not 100% legal too (dont argue cookie would agree but patching is considered worse)
And finally the team simply do not care :P And is says no where in the rules that i cannot post this :P
