Windows Messenger 'like' private messages ON/OFF icon replacement

ok. this is another incredibly simple hack. it will replace your classic VB image icon (in the Private Messages field) with a customised one.

included in the file are the install instructions and the 2 .gif animated images that will imitate the messenger signin/signout event we all know so well. you can also customize the images the way you want.

Uhm,
and for those who want to do this in a template hack, rather then a code-hack, so upgrading to future versions is more easy: Check mah code :P

the result is the same. your way is great also. but this is the hakers forum . and this is a hack to index.php.

Airwaves, i'm glad you like the icons. i made them in 10min, do to animations.

This is cool! I try and model my boards "style" around XP,MSN,etc so it has a familier look and feel. Thanks.

Just because its a hack forum doesn't mean its the easiest thing to do...if you can do it in templates, its a lot better, as you don't have to re-do it when you upgrade.

you dont get the point. if is a template hack, it should be in the Template Modifications. this forum is for hacks related to any .php file NOT templates. i personally dont like template hacks but that's my way of dealing with things. i prefer to mod the actual code because is alot easier for me. and btw, i use my own php template installer who installs all the templates i need.
