You can skin all the old-style dialog box windows of Mesenger by creating new resources in a DLL file. It's pretty easyer when you get used to it, I should create a section about that inu the documentation. All you need is a copy of Visual Studio Express, which is free.

You don't need dll files for icons (at least, when specifying icon groups). It's only needed for menus and old dialog windows. That's because these resources need to be compiled before they can be used. They are more complex and not that useful to skin develoeprs in general so I saw no point in adding extra support for them in the fisrt release. I do plan on supporting those in a future update though.
