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

^^ Yep. Thats what I noticed when I installed it.

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

tabs in plugins are no more (in chat window)
