You can do both.

Thanks for the reply would i be able to get the msn emoticons on the buttons?

Easiest way for that is to extract the resources for the skin creation and take them from there. And yes you can use any image as long as you have it in your Images folder (the structure of the images folder for the code above is Scripts Folder\Images\normal\ftp.png - extension isn't required.)

You'd need to save the emoticons to your script directory really I think... Although it may be possible to enumerate the emoticons collection and get a filepath, but I'm uncertain of that.

ive got all the emoticons i need but i dont know how to get the pictures on the buttons heres the code im using:

                <Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnPlane">
                        <Position Top="165" Width="100" Height="20" Left="10"/>
                        <Attributes><Align>center</Align></Attributes>
                        <Image><Name>normal\ftp\msn_airplane</Name></Image>
                        <Caption>Plane</Caption>
                </Control>

and the folder that the images are in is:

Images\normal\ftp

the images folder is in the folder were my scripting files are

Try and just put the image in the Images folder and change it to

XML code:

---

                <Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnPlane">
                        <Position Top="165" Width="100" Height="20" Left="10"/>
                        <Attributes><Align>center</Align></Attributes>
                        <Image><Name>msn_airplane</Name></Image>
                        <Caption>Plane</Caption>
                </Control>

See if that works.

still dont work

is this where the Images folder should be:

Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\(Name of script)\Images

Have you restarted Windows Live Messenger since you made these initial changes?

If not the cause is likely related to how Messenger Plus! Live deals with interfaces. It loads them once then doesn't load them again.

To change this follow this posted by Patchou.
