O.P. Need help in contact list background
hi there,
tried changing the background for the contact list but doesn't seem to work.....

read the documentation and got this, the test skin ->
<SkinInfo>
    <Information>
        <Name>Test Skin</Name>
    </Information>

    <MessengerSkin>
        <ResGroup>
            <Restrictions>
                <MsgVersions>
                    <Version Major="8" Minor="5"/>
                </MsgVersions>
            </Restrictions>

            <Resources>
                <Replace>
                    <Strings>
                        <String Id="61288">Hello World!</String>
                    </Strings>

                    <Graphics><Pictures>
                        <Picture Id="20061">
                            <File>clouds.jpg</File>
                        </Picture>
                    </Pictures></Graphics>
                </Replace>
            </Resources>

        </ResGroup>
    </MessengerSkin>
</SkinInfo>

then i actually read http://www.msgpluslive.dk/skins/resources/tut-Cha...t-list-background/ too~

1. but i don'e understand this part whr they say "So copy the 1001-definition into your skins folder (msgres_4004_1001.txt) from your extraction folder.
" .... isn't the text in 101 definition the same as the text in msgres_4004_1001? so what does it mean by copy it?

2. i also dun understand this part "59000 is our ID for the background image we're going to add as a resource (remember this has to be over 59000). " so is 59000 the code i use for bg or do i have to rename it w a higher number?

3. last last.....
You will also need to replace 1001-definition with your 1001 file. Example:

<Replace>
  <Windows>
    <Definitions>
      <Definition Id="10001">
        <File>1001.txt</file>
      </Definition>
    </Definitions>
  </Windows>
</Replace>

wat do u mean by replace 1001definition with 1001 file? means i rename it?
and the definition ID highlighted in red, do i change it to the pic ID or leave it alone?


SUPER THANKS IN ADVANCE!
