Simple: as before =)
If you really don't know how to, just take a look at skins that does that, like Guéna's, Willz's, mynetx's, mine, and some others, you'll see that, as everybody already, nothing has really changed that much, because of the people who worked hard at Plus! 4.80 and Messenger's UI files.
Just don't say everything has changed and that everything is harder and simply impossible: it just denotes that work everyone had with this new version was worth nothing.
The rest, I agree with djdannyp and Willz.

all the skins that use this feature already only use uib files not the styles or definitions, also all there images are in msnrle format so i cant even look through the images to see which images relate to what. as i said before i am not trying to undermine the work that was done to build 4.80 nor am i trying to discourage others i merely am pointing out i cannot find out how to do the things i want to do and whenever i do ask for help nobody seems to care enough to provide the requested help.

EDIT:

to prove a point in 8.5 the code below which is from the 923 definitions files extracted from version 2009 would have worked and allowed me to show or hide the mail button that this code doesnt work therefore it isn't as self explanatory as you are all making it out to be, maybe you can tell me what i've done wrong.

also perhaps you can point out how to rewrite this button so it can service say the plus button or one of the others.
