Customized Windows
-
Its second time :) I hope you all've used MSN messenger. The window/GUI of MSN messenger is customizable and there are many custom add-ons present. I mean that we can customize the window of MSN messenger without having the access to the original source code. I also want to make my window based application that i can customize later without accessing the original source code, just like MSN messenger. Can any one tell me how such applications are created ???

By exposing an interface, so that the code to *generate* these changes is present, and so is code to parse the add-ons. At least that is what WinAmp does.
