Is there a way in the aimres.dll I can change the function and icon of a single button? For example, I want to change the “write” button for email at the bottom of the buddy list (between IM, Chat – Info and Setup) to the away message icon and function. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
you’ll have to look for the function number (like 1134 or whatever the number is, I forget what they are now, I havent had to mess with those for a long time now) and swap them around. there might be a little more to it than that, but I think once you get that part down the rest pretty much makes itself known.
oh and by the way, you already have another topic just like this one
thanks TigerBlade, but I tried looking in the dialoge (323 I think if I recall correctly) of the buddy list and I can’t seem to distinguish what bits of code are for which buttons.
and that other topis is about physically moving button, this one is about changing the function of one
Code:CONTROL “”, 1604, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 55, 215, 15, 20
CONTROL “”, 1820, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 55, 215, 15, 20
CONTROL “”, 1140, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 80, 215, 15, 20
CONTROL “”, 1487, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 105, 215, 15, 20
CONTROL “”, 174, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 129, 215, 15, 20is for the set of four buttons (you’ll have to check to see what they are, I dont use aim anymore, and the aim I do use has long been devoid of buttons
Code:CONTROL “”, 139, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 38, 140, 20, 20
CONTROL “”, 561, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 68, 140, 20, 20
CONTROL “”, 1002, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 88, 140, 20, 20
CONTROL “”, 138, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 108, 140, 20, 20
CONTROL “”, 1562, “_Oscar_IconBtn”, 0x50010000, 128, 140, 20, 20that’s the set of five, again you’ll have to find their functions from your own AIM
ok I found out what is what, but if I replace the line for the “Mail” with the line for the “Away”, it removes the right one (mail) but doesn’t replace it with any icon, just a space. Any tips?
well what I did (with an old backup I had of AimRes) was swap the buttons for AIM.com and Preferences. it doesnt involve physically dragging or moving anything, just swapping numbers.
for mine, in dialog 323, I swapped the control numbers 1140 and 174, which correspond to AIM.com and Preferences, respectively. then I had to go to 23>323 and find the same thing further down in that window, where it saysCode:and
Code:i swapped the numbers for those, and voila when I started up aim, the two were swapped, both their functions and their icons.
thanks tiger,
the functions finally swapped, I was unaware that the things were in 23 as well. the icons didnt swap but im going to keep playing with it, thanksodd thing happened actually, the function of the blank area worked fine for what I switched it, only the icon wouldnt show and the “info” button next to it had some new function somehow, sometimes I could see a blank box flicker behind it. all I did was swap 1002 (mail) with 1487 (away), so I put it back to normal for now.
you cant just cut and paste the lines, you have to just manually change the control numbers only. as for the icons, they should have swapped, but if not, go back to your backup and try it again. although i’m not sure what version you’re using, if that makes any difference, I think mine’s still 5.5.something (when I basically gave up on aim and converted to trillian)
