Tuesday, February 18, 2003 by knatzz | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Does anyone know what format to use when uploading ICQ skins? I tried to up;oad as an IPZ and it said it was an invalid file type.
Thanks

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?

ICQ+ Skinning tutorials on their site

http://www.icqplus.org/help.htm

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.
