About This Skin
===============

You will notice that the icons of this skins is from the original Windows Live MSN, so be aware of their license...


First of All
============

I am not part of the aMSN-dev Team, so if you have any suggestion, question or bug/problem you must
contact me and not posting in the aMSN Forum.


Enable PixmapMenu feature
=========================

Note: this option will slow down a little your aMSN and still have some bugs, thats why aMSN-Dev team disabled it by default.

Edit gui.tcl inside aMSN installation dir and uncomment the line:

#package require pixmapmenu
to this
package require pixmapmenu

Copy the entire dir pixmapmenu (located inside this skin) into your amsndir/utils/ and replace the current one.


Enable Anti-Aliasing with tcl/tk 8.5
====================================

Install required packages from your Linux distro:

libxft-dev
tcltls

Download the sources of tcl and tk from here:
http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/downloadnow85.html

Then, unpack and compile tcl8.5:

tar zxvf tcl8.5x-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.5x-src
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install (you must have root permission to do this)

Unpack and compile tk8.5:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xft (here you enable the antialiasing with xft)
make
make install (you must have root permission to do this)

Replace symlinks of old tcl/tk version in your system (remember to have root permission):

cd /usr/bin
rm wish
rm tclsh
ln -s wish8.5 wish
ln -s tclsh8.5 tclsh
cd /usr/lib
ln -s tcl8.5 tcl
ln -s tk8.5 tk
ln -s libtk8.5.so libtk.so
ln -s libtcl8.5.so libtcl.so
ln -s libtclstub8.5.a libtclstub.a
ln -s libtkstub8.5.a libtkstub.a
ldconfig


Fixing a bug refered to tcl/tk8.5 with tcltls
=================================================

You must edit this file (remember to have root permission):

cd /usr/lib/tls1.50/
nano pkgIndex.tcl (use your favorite text editor)

look for this line:
package ifneeded tls 1.5

and change it for
package ifneeded tls 1.50 (just add the zero)

Now you can compile your aMSN :)
