Because MAUF app has been dead since July 2017, I was looking for another way of changing colors in facebook messenger to the ones I want. Found something here: http://wanna-be.pro/facebook_messenger_dialog_color/
I succesfully intercepted XHR request, managed to change it a bit (color) and sent the modified version back to Facebook. Unfortunately, nothing happened.
I tried playing with it a little bit more, and noticed it changes color only if the specified color is one of the 15 facebook offers us to change in a normal way.
Is there any way to set a custom color now, or has the facebook changed it in a way it's not possible by any method now?
Facebook fixed this by checking to see if the requested color matches the pre-approved colors.
This is server-side, so there's no way to change this except the black color on secret conversations. There's no way around it. Unfortunately, we have to suck it up with the garbage suggested ones.

Is it possible to delete a conversion tracking pixel from the Facebook Ads Manager and how? I have one pixel that I don't need anymore but I can't find an options for deletion. Is there an option which I just can't see or there's really no chance for removing it?
If someone else is wondering, too, I got this answer from Facebook:
Unfortunately it's not possible to delete a conversion pixel once you've created it. The good news, however, is that we're removing the conversion tracking pixel in the second half of 2016. I'm unsure as to whether or not they'll be completely removed from your ad account, but be on the lookout for that update to see if you can't get rid of them then.
I'm trying to get version of a photo that FB uses as the background image for album layouts where one side is always exactly 206px and the other one at least the same, for example https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/p206x206/10401476_409218399235620_1454525834273554679_n.jpg?oh=eda59fce63113796b35c46cc4bec162a&oe=55760EFD&gda=1433681435_6b4729404e05493108c271a50c753d7f I've scoured both the graph and SO, but am having absolutely no luck here. I'm aware that you can get 3 versions of a photo using type=album/thumbnail/normal ie https://graph.facebook.com/409218399235620/picture?type=album (you'd think this one would work, but they probably never updated it to redirect to the new size?). I've tried all kinds of variants of this knowing that the graph documentation is pretty crap, to no avail.
I've also used the Explorer to for example pull up ?fields=images, but it's never one of the listed images there. I've tried using widths, replacing parts of the URL etc. etc. I am running the checks with a valid access_token.
I've pretty much resigned myself to just resizing myself, but given the time I've spent on this, I thought I'd at least put it out there in case someone else has had the same problem, and come up with a solution.
Since last week, my Facebook like button with count display + send button ("button_count layout" as they name it in their plugin page) is looking weird, missing the blank space there used to be between the "like" count and the "send" buttons. First I thought it had something to do with Wordpress and the plugin being used to display it since I first noticed it in my WP based site, but after investigating I've come to the conclussion that Facebook has changed the styling without advice. It is looking this way in their own plugin page, tested with different browsers and operating systems.
This is how it looks now. Notice the lack of space between like count and the send button:
This is how it used to look until one or two weeks ago:
Has anyone else noticed this change? I still have not tried to add the missing spacing by any means because I am not yet sure if the change will be permanent or if it is some sort of "bug" by Facebook. I haven't been able to find any reference using Google about this.
Well, after 9 days with no answers and having Facebook changed during this period the style of its "like with count + send" button, getting back the little gap between them, this question has lost its sense. It seems like they weren't minding a lot their "old" button since they were going to change it.
It seems also like I have such good aim making the right questions in the right moment! xD
According to the docs, the "Add to Timeline" button will be deprecated as of August 2012. Unfortunately, there is no guidance on how to achieve the same functionality. Perplexingly, the Open Graph tutorial uses the button (which seems unwise given that it will be broken in a couple months). Since I'm writing a new implementation of actions/timeline right now, I'm not going to include something that I'll have to delete in a couple months. Everything works fine with AJAX and the PHP-SDK and only two issues remain unresolved (which I imagine the button would handle):
No way to tell if an action is posted already. I have "unique" enabled already but I have no way to hide the "Add to timeline" option if it's already posted.
No nice visual. I could render the current (soon to be deprecated) button and steal the image but I'd prefer to use something that will look the same as other sites and make users comfortable that they know what will happen when they click.
Does Facebook have a replacement for this button? Or are all timeline posts supposed to be taking place silently after an initial permission grant? I thought Facebook encouraged more user approval for Timeline actions--where is that control supposed to go? To third party UI elements? Doesn't that undermine some of the power of the Facebook ecosystem--the fact that it's the same buttons with the same behavior everywhere on the web? It's kind of frustrating the way it's presented now--pushing you in one direction in the tutorial only to tell you that the feature will be deprecated within months. I've mostly given up hope for problem #1 but is there an official non-deprecated button that will give me a nice comforting visual?
Also, are there other features that this button does that are being/have been transitioned to other plugins?
EDIT: Does it make sense to link the "Like" button to a timeline event? It seems like semantically that would make sense but there doesn't seem to be any built-in way to do it.
Considering the component (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/), I would like know how to change the text of your button. I would like replace the "SEND REQUEST" to just "SEND".
Thanks.
Just a note: http://developers.facebook.com/policy/ states:
IV. Application Integration Points
4 Platform integrations, including social plugins:
d. You must not obscure or cover elements of our social plugins,
such as the Like button or Like box plugin.
Which I think applies to that button as well. There is a discussion over the like button here:
http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?id=81844
that probably applies to this question. Other than that, with fbml and fbjs, there was a way to change it, but facebook is deprecating them soon, so it won't even be worth trying using that. I think the only way to go would be to try and get a hold of facebook and make a request to change it, but seeing as how they are always changing things, not sure how that's going to work. If you have an argument as to why, they might listen.
