It's a translated tutorial, so if you can say the faultes, thanks

What do we need ?

So, you must download Pe Explorer (Trial, 30days) (or RessourceHack (free))

After the download finished, Copy the  msgres.dll's folder

For Pe Explorer >

For ResHack > (With ALL FOLDERS !

We delete all, and we start again !  

You need only change the icons that you copied, and re-give in the file msgres.dll !

So, the "icon's code" >

I don't unterstand what you want to say

Thanks to you

I ment to say that it was better english then in this tutorial!  

Ha okay Thanks

Hi mastercloud, nice tuto, im waiting for the 3th lesson  
I was ask u something:

Whats the size of the buttons :Invite friend to conversation, Sen file, etc... you know, the buttons that are down of the Nick and the email of the people who u are talking
I've made some modification to my msn, u can look:

In the main window, i made the background of the box where is my nick says Lol? xD Its funny

I hope you finish you 3th lesson in French and u can tell me the size of the buttons

Cya mastercloud

I am just confused about one thing. After you make the changes in Resource hacker, how do you save it so the changes will work.

this is the part i don't get!

After you completely edit the msgres.dll file in ResourceHacker you need yo save it with the same name i.e: msgres.dll , to make this file work for the messenger you need to replace the original with this one , remember to keep a backup of the original file too

hope asher will reply to this

Can you post the .gif icon you're using for when u sign in(the guys spinning around each other)

EDIT: nvm
