Yahoo! Messenger Skin Reference Table
If you are going to be Making Yahoo! Messenger Skins that are backwards compatible from v8.1 to v6, or just version specific skins, the table below will be invaluable as it details which graphics are required for each version, which were introduced when, and in part, if they are still required. It also indicates which files will need to be added to the graphics directory and if any changes need to be made to the .xml file. At a quick glance it will make little sense.. but with a bit of background knowledge (see - Yahoo! Messenger v8 .xml file) you should start to see the light ;)
NOTE: Included Not Referenced: the graphic file has been included but it's not referenced in the .xml file, amendments will need to made if required.
Referenced Not Included: the graphic has been referenced in the .xml file but not included in the graphics directory. You can get these files from the v8 default Indigo skin folder (C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Shared\Graphics\Indigo) and just copy and paste to your new skin directory if it is required for the skin version you are constructing.
