In Ev0 i do not use a dll and I have replaced the 591 perfectly fine.

You are obviously doing something wrong if it is loading the default messenger.

all i did which caused default messenger to load is add the following to my skininfo file.

i havve added pictures in this way before and never had a problem it just this one thing, anyways as i couldnt figure out how to test my graphic in my o0wn skin i installed aurora live messenger and replaced their 591 image with mine and as you can see from the image below it worked great.



as you can see it works using the dll method so if i copy their dll and there code from their skininfo file i could make it work but then that would be stealing lol and i really want to learn how to do this properly.

also i have a few questions about some of the icons in the 591 image itself



you have 2 additional copies of the online icon which seem to serve no purpose you have the mobile, contact book, online blocked & offline blocked there too and they dont seem to serve any purpose so why are they there?

thanks in advance willz i do appreciate your help in this matter, i will take a quick look at evo to see what your method was if its ok while i await a response.
