Well, for example, if we find the invite button by searching for invitetoimbtn, we end up with this..
code:
            <cmdbutton id=atom(invitetoimbtn) cmdid=40269 class="TaskbarBtn" layout=borderlayout() AccName=rcstr(60032) AccDesc=rcstr(44027) ShortcutString=rcstr(60032) >
                <png layoutpos=top flip=false idres=808 contentalign=topcenter class="TaskbarIcon" />
                <element id=atom(suppress) layoutpos=client padding=rect(2,-1,2,2) contentalign=bottomcenter                      />
            </cmdbutton>
For the image, the important bit here is
code:
<png layoutpos=top flip=false idres=808 contentalign=topcenter class="TaskbarIcon" />
Where idres=808 is the number of the image, so now that we know that PNG 808 is the image for the invite button, we click on folder PNG on the left panel in reshacker, scroll down and expand folder 808, right-click on 1033 and Replace Resource if you want to change it.

Note: using reshacker we can't see the images, but if we use heaventools resource tuner we can see the actual PNG images instead of just the bytes, the only downer is the resource tuner has  a 30 day trial limit.

Of course, we already know what the image looks like, but if we want to extract it, just left click on PNG > 808 > 1033 (this being the invite button graphic) and then in the top menu click Action > Save Resource as binary file ... and save it as 808.png, then you can open up the file you saved and view the graphic.

Hope that made sense :)

Hi ahmz, if I can ask...
can you add some of this features (always on top button, properties option, change dp) to your patch?

Sorry if i'm bothering you but I think your patch is the best one for messenger 604 build and I like to have all possible options in it ;)

the always on top button is a bit hard to incorporate into the patch at the moment, although adding the properties option isn't a problem..

and the change dp fix is already in the patch, i believe its under the contact list menu as change display picture link

and thanks for choosing my patch :P

Now all that's needed is a way to do this in memory, so people who don't like patching their MSN can still get the same benefits.

You could use my loader,

It doesn't have all the features of my patch, but it has most, I should probably update it.

After asking Segosa to teach me how to find the polygamy offset in Olly (which he very kindly did), he has posted an excellent tutorial which will walk you through step-by-step on how to find it yourself!

You'll find a link in the first post of this thread under the polygamy values.

Enjoy :D

How did you find that out?
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
