RE: help. I need help
You haven't closed the <Pictures> tag

Try this:

XML code:
<New>
          <Pictures>                    
                  <Picture Id="59060">
                            <File>Images\59060.gif</File>
                   </Picture>
           </Pictures>
</New>


I had a brief scan through your SkinInfo and it seems like you've made the above mistake a few times, so I'd suggest going through it carefully and checking

Your PLSK is also very big.......try saving the images at a lower rate.

Use photoshop to save them for web.....and save them as jpegs or pngs, not gifs.

Oops, yeah, missed that.  The slash is definitely the wrong way around.

Also, could you please use the following tags when posting skininfo code:

[code=xml][/code]

as it makes it clearer to understand (as in my above post)

is only one example.
I have another image that is already occupied and the value 59060.value no matter( 59061, 59062, 59069)
What I care about is the correct way to do it.

I just want an example that works correctly with a gif 

used the bar to see ( / )

SkinInfo.xml

<Picture Id="59061">
                            <File>Images/41cp3.gif</File>                       
                       
</Picture>

msgres_def_923.txt


<Element Background=rcbkd("msgr",625) LayoutPos=client/>
<element layout=FlowLayout(2,2,2,2)  Alpha=0 background=window>

<Animator  Animation2=rcanim("msgr",59061)/>

</element>

not working, the screen is black

I use the id code of 1076. might have to put in another way for a new id 

   
Therefore, I just want a code that works with a new id. gif

   
if possible, an example of (SkinInfo.xml) and another (msgres_def_923.txt)

RE: help. I need help
I know what image your trying to replace. Its the loading image. I've tested it out.

All you need to do is:

1.Change the "59061" back to it was before. Which is "1076". (In 923 def)

2.Delete this in your SkinInfo:

<Picture Id="59061">
<File>Images/41cp3.gif</File> 
</Picture>                     
                       
3. Put this in your SkinInfo:



<Graphics>

        <Pictures>

<Picture Id="1076">
<File>Images/1076.gif</File>
</Picture>

</Pictures>

        </Graphics>


Save it.

4. Rename the Image for "1076" as 1076 and make sure its a .gif image.

Like this: 1076.gif

Make sure its in your images folder.

=)

But as I said before.

Can be done.
