oh, just delete all the text after the ";" including the ";"

Basically semicolons are comments and you can delete them.

ethan.bmp has to be located in the same folder as where the script is saved.

ive added the file to the same directory, deleted the files with a ; in them

Hmm, try replacing the above code with this:

WinGetPos, X, Y, Width
Y = %Y% + 50
X = %X% + Width - 160

if (X <> %PrevX%) and (Y <> %PrevY%)
{
Gui, Show, w36 h12 x%X% y%Y% NoActivate

PrevX = %X%
PrevY = %Y%
}

my current script is





#NoTrayIcon





WindowName = Windows Live Messenger



Gui, Add, Picture, x0 y0, ethan.bmp

DetectHiddenWindows on

WinWait, %A_ScriptName%

WinSet, TransColor, FF00FF

WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On

DetectHiddenWindows off

Gui, +ToolWindow -Caption;-E0x40000







Loop

WinGetPos, X, Y, Width

Y = %Y% + 50

X = %X% + Width - 160



if (X <> %PrevX%) and (Y <> %PrevY%)

{

Gui, Show, w36 h12 x%X% y%Y% NoActivate



PrevX = %X%

PrevY = %Y%

}

This time i do not get any errors, but my WLM is not affected :wacko: lol

Thanks

Erm, I think you messed it up.

I'm attaching the full and proper script.

Also, just confirm the exact title of your msn messenger by opening it and checking with Window Spy (Au3_spy). Its located in the autohotkey program group.

Ah, I get it now. The new version of AutoHotkey had changed some things. I've downloaded and installed the new one myself and got the same error you were getting. So I updated the script.

It should definately work now.

(Don't forget to change the WindowName!)

Please help

@ LLXX: Thats not possible, as in this case, Windows Live Messenger uses bitmaps for showing that; its not even a real titlebar. So there's no strings involved either. Also, the bitmap for it isn't located under the standard resource section.
That bitmap is somewhere in there, so a hex editor and a little thinking should extract it for editing :)

i actually think i have found it, but ive been using Photoshop, and i needs to be transparent, and its a .PNG file, but Photoshop will refuse to turn it transparent :(

Any Ideas,

Ethan :)

Ok, never mind i put it in Fireworks :D

Solved the problem

i tell you another thing you may be able to help me with,

im not sure if this is illegal, but ill take my chances and ask, cos you are the only people who can help me :D

You know the Advertising section Of WLM, down the bottom,

is there a way i can Not Disable it, because it loads a custom Image, upon sign in,

but then it loads the adverts straight after, isit possible i can delay the time it takes for the Adverts to load?

Thanks

Ethan :)

Did you try going thru the options in A-patch or Mess patch? I remember seeing an option to remove the adverts. Why would you want to delay them instead?
