Woah, tons of replies, I will try and hit them all:

@SonicSam: That sounds like a good idea. I will try and do this, thank you .

@Basilis: Didn't even think of the trace file >.<! I'll give that a look .

@Volv: It does look how I want it to look. I have however, patched away the adverts, and do want to release it. Thats really the only reason I am going through the trouble of making it again WITH the adverts.

@djdannyp: I have tried my skin on the SAME messenger version on the same operating system without patches (mess patch in this case) and it didn't work, like you said.

@NanaFreak: That would make sense. I am extracting resources from edited resources (no different than a skin I thought?) but it doesn't seem to work for some reason :\.

@Basilis: I have gotten rid of the ads, but otherwise, yeah I know .


So thank you all for your tips, and I will try to compare my files with brand new ones ^_^.

You still do not need to start again from scratch just because the ads have been patched away, chances are it will just take a very minor change to your current file to bring them back.

That would be even better! I am currently going through the extracted resources with the program that SonicSam suggested to try and find the code that was removed to 'hide' the adverts... no luck just yet.

Untrue. You could release for any version of Messenger that is compatible with Plus!.

plus doesnt edit the file... it makes it do it in the memory
