I would like to change windows messenger. Maybe this is a noob question, but i would like to take
out the images in the main windows, or replace them with other images.
I've attached a image so u guys know what i'm talking about.

Does anybody know how i can change those circled images?
I've allready tried ResHacker, but i can't find those images sad.gif

It's in the PNG treeview in msmsgs.exe. I cant remember which number. check out www.dicksworld.co.uk, it has a tut for reshacking MSN 5 but im sure it will be the same for windows messenger.

Thats L@H's version isnt it?

There was a issue with L@H's version one about incoming file transfer notifications not working. Is that the one you have?

Also, does ANYONE know of any sites in which have themes for Windows Messenger. I only know how to customize(ad box remove, background change, Start in Offline state, Multiple sessions etc)but actual themes for it. Im not talking about using the Windows Theme.

I remember one site had it and cannot for the life remember where it is located anymore, even after many searches.

Anyway, if anyone knows, please post back
Cheers

Select a PNG, go to action menu, click 'Save resource as binary file' then in the filename box put anything.png.

www.mess.be has a wide selection of messenger skin. I have created my own using ResHacker. Just go into the BitMap section (that's where I went)

Yeh thanks guys.

Manage to find my way around it. Couldnt find the tutorial i needed so i did the trial and error thing.

Kept the top border the same as i wanted it that way and also the system tray the same. Wanted to keep some aspects of the WinMSN the same.

Anyway, pic is below.

Thnaks guys, appreciated the thread as helped me out to change something i been wanting to change.

You are exactly correct. Is ICE v2 but the actual msmsgs version is really old. Is 4.7.0101

I basically updated it to msmsgs 4.7.2009 which means used the same graphics but transferred it over to the newer version.(which was a good learning experience)
