If you could create a multival option which for example in the deafult set changes no pictures and in the vista x theme set changes the pictures, I think it should do it.

RE: Help: skin options
...theres not much to do...
use the restrictions sytem, like this:
code:
<ResGroup>
<Restrictions>
<MsgVersions>
<Version Major="8" Minor="5"/>
</MsgVersions>
<SkinOptions>
<OptionSet>
<Conditions>put your boolval or multival id here = "item id or true/false"</Conditions>
</OptionSet>
</SkinOptions>
</Restrictions>
<Resources>
<Replace>
<Graphics>
<!-- NO UNAUTHORIZED COPY ALLOWED! -->
<Pictures>
put your replaced pictures here
</Pictures>   
</Graphics>
</Replace>
<New>
<Pictures>
put your custom code pics here
</Pictures>
</New>           
</Resources>
</ResGroup>

then, do the second block with the original files:
code:
<ResGroup>
<Restrictions>
<MsgVersions>
<Version Major="8" Minor="5"/>
</MsgVersions>
<SkinOptions>
<OptionSet>
<Conditions>put your boolval or multival id here = "item id or true/false"</Conditions>
</OptionSet>
</SkinOptions>
</Restrictions>
<Resources>
<Replace>
<Graphics>
<!-- NO UNAUTHORIZED COPY ALLOWED! -->
<Pictures>
put your original pictures here
</Pictures>   
</Graphics>
</Replace>
<New>
<Pictures>
put your custom code pics here, with the original resources
</Pictures>
</New>           
</Resources>
</ResGroup>

also, declaro you multivals and boolvals of course...

for each item (multivals), use a resource block

You don't need a second block for the original files. :P Messenger will load the defaults if they don't "see" them (aka Restricted).

O.P. RE: Help: skin options
how do you insert it in the skin info or in a defninition file?

and where do you put the images...

p.s. you can change the files if you want and send them to me

Insert it like any other ResGroup.

You put the images somewhere in the folder of your skin (which could also be in another folder). You choose as you need to cite where the File is anyhow...

Which means we're making your skin pretty much? I'm sure you can follow your existing skin and inserting this into it. :)
