ICQ+ skins

zip

Thanks again

really no problem in the least, more than glad to help as everyone else is, good bunch of people

Do I zip the skin folder or zip the IPZ file?

I'd just zip up the \themes\name\?IPZ

so when they extract it with the dir structure it is placed where needed, though if
they double click on it, it should create a theme\name\?.ipz folder and place the file with it I think, not really sure...

You would find that in the ICQ+ skinning help file I think?

All I saw in the help files was for windowblinds and DX and stuff but I will check again. Thanks 4 tha help u guys r great people as is this community...been watching it grow for a couple of years now and there is nothing else quite like it

I've been learning that myself about the people(s) here

ICQ+ Skinning tutorials on their site

Download the skin zipfile to your ICQ Plus Skins directory
(mostly is that C:\Program Files\ICQPlus\Skins).


so, say you create your skin in the
C:\Program Files\ICQPlus\Skins\My Skin\Skin.IPZ <----- zip this with directory so when unzipped it automatically creates and uncompresses it to the correct location and the all they have to do is click the + symbol in ICQ+ and load the skin..

I usually rename the ipz to zip. It's less trouble for everyone, no need to unzip it before you load it, that way.

cool

I learned sumin new today too

Thanks again guys
