Change Logon Image?!?
Does Anyone know how to change the logon image in AIM? I foung Logon Images Here but I can figure out how to use them. I downloaded ResHacker and was just skimming through some of AIM's Recources and I didn't find anything. If anyone can figure this out please help. Oh yea, somebody here should make an AIM+ one and submit it too... Just a Thought.

Hey hey, I can help ya with that one
First get resource hacker aka "ResHack": http://anton.concord.ru/ftp/reshack/ResHack.zip
once you have that, unzip it into a folder, nothing to install...
fyi#2...ResHack automatically saves a "aimres_original.dll" incase you mess something up after you've saved aimres.dll, you can delete the new one, remove "_original" and use that original aimres.dll...each time you save though, it overwrites "aimres_original.dll" if there is already one in there I belive...so don't mess things up twice hehe...you can just reinstall if you cant get it back to normal
EDIT: BAH! dang it, i spent like 20 minutes making my reply and Master Jedi beat me to it haha

- completely quit AIM, not just sign off, exit the program
- run ResHacker.exe and go up to FILE>OPEN>aimres.dll
This is located in C:\Program Files\AIM95\aimres.dll
If you have 5.2.3139 I believe it installs into C:\Program Files\AIM\aimres.dll - on the left hand side in ResHack go to GIF DATA>103>1033
- right click on the 1033 and click "replace resource"
- in the window that pops up click on "open file with new resource..." and find the new image you wish to use
- in the next 3 boxes type this for each box:
- resource type: GIFDATA
- resource name: 103
- resource language: 1033
- click "replace" near the bottom of that window
- go up to FILE>SAVE
- exit the program
- run AIM/AIM+ and enjoy
