O.P. Turning off contact cards
Ok well, I installed the mess patch giving the the ability to open the display picture menu by clicking on the display picture, among other things. It's a handy option for quickly changing display pictures.

I've run into one problem though. Clicking on my display picture in a chat window still opens my contact card as well as my display picture menu.

It's an annoyance. I never really liked the contact cards anyways. I find them pretty useless.

I was wondering if there was a way to disable them. A patch, script, or maybe a registry key that needs editing. I just want contact cards gone.

Please help me Obi Wan Kenobi... (I'm not even a star wars fan :S)

I also hate them and find them pointless. If there is a way to disable them i would also be interested :) I don't think a script can do this nor registry edit but a skin may have a chance :P
No longer here.

The best way to do this is with a skin

simply modify the cmdid of the display picture from the one that opens the contact card to the one that opens the display picture chooser

Unfortunately, I lack the skill to make a skin. Unless I can simply edit the necessary code in the default skin somehow.

If you're talking about the chat window DP, it's not possible afaik. I've tried. There doesn't appear to be a cmdid for it (WLM must control it directly), but I'll take another look.

EDIT: I opened the 920 definition (and style just in case) and searched for "cmdid", no go :/

I guess the next best thing would be to change the dropdown button's cmdid to the dp changer one *-)

In addition to what ryxdp said, if it was possible by editing the UI Files, it would be possible for StuffPlug to disable them... They have obviously settled for it as a limitation as there is no CmdID to edit
