Note: If the key of a manually captured contact is older than few days, it's possible that you can't reach this person, you will need an updated key or they will need contact you first. Skin SL_POP3_IM uses a background picture file (.bmp file). The menu buttons are simply defined as interactive zones. The icons of those button are simply on the background picture itself. So this is very easy to customise the look of the tool. The skin picture file is in the skin folder (in the application folder), it must be a file named: main_350x600.bmp You can replace it easily with any other .bmp file with the same name and same size. To install a new one, copy the .bmp file and override the actual one in the skin folder. You will also find there a photoshop template with the different clickable zones and components on a separate layer to let you design your own customized skin. Here you will find some others skins...   |
