Nope. You can’t You can only change the background color but can’t put an image.
mhr said:
i think in it we can’t change skins
VG said:
^^ You can from the titlebar button.
mhr said:
the tiny orange orb at top is for changing themes
mhr said:
a useful comment for everybody making themes for 9.0
the skin directory is C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\skins
not the old C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Shared\Graphics directory
VG said:
^^ Yep. Thats what I noticed when I installed it.
mhr said:
now its very hard to port Y! vista theme to 9.0 becuse of the chnges in the pictures it uses and no xml to tweak it
mhr said:
tabs in plugins are no more (in chat window)
mhr said:
if xml were there we can change the selection color easily but now we shold edit it in reshacker
mhr said:
i made a skin (modified the window controls only ) but i is not coming up
ss3 said:
hey, is it actually possible to skin the new Yahoo messenger? If yes then could you make ur vista reloaded thing for that. im not sure what i need to do make the vista reloaded theme work for this version
thanks
VG said:
^^ Older skins will not work in this new version cause the format is completely different.
I’ll try to make skins for this new version too in future.
