this is what i used

Whats wrong with trillian? just out of curiosity..

there is no replacement for msn or icq.... its branded into our brains, anything different sucks :)

This is what I did, you need to edit the registry so back it up if ya feel like it:

it's nice, no ads :)

Try searching in astalavista.box.sk

hit me on ICQ equinox..i got it

Icq plus
plus you can add nice skins ( you need to skin it to get rid of the banners )

this is the reason icq will cost $$$ soon...

thx apostate...that brightened up my ICQ and got rid of those banners..

you fucking cheater!

1- Download Reshack from
http://www.rpi.net.au/~ajohnson/resourcehacker/

2- Look for Auto Update in your registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mirabilis\ICQ\DefaultPr efs
And set the value to "No"

3- Delete the following files from your ICQ folder
icqateima32.dll (removes advertisement downloading)
icqateimg32.dll (removes the loading of images)
icqateres.dll (removes part of the advertisement function)

4- Open ICQCore.dll in Reshack.

4a Deploy the Dialog folder and open each numbered folder
The dialog boxes should be : 2503,2507,2512,2513,2514,2543,2560,2566


4b Click the banner box (dark Grey) and it will highlight the control for that box.

4c Change the last 2 numbers in that control to 0, 0 Example;
CONTROL "", 1070, "{9F9012BA-E55B-11D3-ADE7-0090270D8F00}", 0x50000000,
1, 158, 260, 38
Becomes
CONTROL "", 1070, "{9F9012BA-E55B-11D3-ADE7-0090270D8F00}", 0x50000000,
1, 158, 0, 0

4d Change the main dialog box size coordinates (at the top of the script) to
Ad box y coordinate +1. Example: for above control you take the 158 then
change the main dialog box y coordinate to 158+1 (159) So;
2503 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 262, 196
Becomes
2503 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 262, 159

NOTE The last four digits are position/size coordinates - first set is x,y
position, the second set is x,y size.

4e Compile the script

4f Repete for all dialogs with banner ads then save the file (Have a backup
of ICQCore.dll just in case something goes wrong)

I have an edited ICQCore.dll (For 2000b v4.60) here
