O.P. HELP: Changing the position of icons
Hi, I was wondering how you can change the position of icons in a conversation frame, e.g changing the block button from the left to the center (Y)

This is a question that Willz can answer. He has done exactly what you want. Why don't you try sending him a private message?

I cut the element containing the button and moved into another element (such as <MeContainer> etc).

The position of the element in the text file affects the position in the skin... It's all just trial and error

In the definition file just find the element and either change the "layoutpos" value, or move the element to above/below another element.

Which icon(s) in particular are you trying to move?

You'll want to select something like this in 920 def

       <ButtonIcon class="HIGToolbarIcon" contentalign=middlecenter ID=Atom(ai159)/>
       <element layoutpos=Right contentalign=middlecenter layout=filllayout()>
              <ButtonText class="HIGToolbarText" content="" contentalign=middlecenter Shortcut=1 ID=Atom(ai160)/>
       </element>
</button>

then just move it above/below whatever other button you want to move etc

RE: HELP: Changing the position of icons
Well tbh we're not going to do the skin for you, only you know what you want, and you'll have to slog through like the rest of us with trial and error. You may even need to completely re-write the dashboard/conversation header area as is the case with my skin in progress and Evo

but otherwise just play around with the defs adding deleting, merging elemetns etc
