Background by Beca on 06-17-2005 at 07:20 PM
I'm not sure if this is already a feature or not on MSN or MSG Plus! but i thought i might be cool: being able to change the MSN Messenger window (the one with the contact) change colours, like how it is in the conversation window.
Tootles!

You can go to background and colurs at the top 
You can skin your msn messenger as well http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=44315

no absorbation, he means the contact list
i have wanted to do this kind of thing before and have tried editing it to do so but it appears the colorise function is only loaded in the conversation window
either that or it has a different command id but im too lazy and busy to experiment with it too much at the mo.
i may try again some day because colorising the contact list should be possible

There used to be a patch let used to chnage the background image to whatever you want 
RE: Background by Plik on 06-17-2005 at 07:57 PM
You dont need a patch to change the background image.
You can do it yourself, see Madman's reply to background
Although Beca didnt specifically ask for a way to change the background (dispite the thread title)

not the image
inside the conversation windows there is a "colorise" button that changes the color scheme of the whole window
beca wants this feature in the contact list
btw, for the image just put a gif file called lvback.gif in the MSN Messenger directory

i tried that to, but the colorize menu refuses to pop up...
though there's a solution for that,
if someone could make a loader that has a colorizer build in that can colorize the original images and replace them in the memory should do the trick...

And I dont think thats exactly what Beca wanted to do either...
RE: Background by crank on 06-19-2005 at 12:06 PM
Someone just needs to make a loader that changes some pngs in msn's memory, all it needs is a simple button that activates the loader, and that should show a menu where you can pick the colors, once picked the loader should change the images with the ones it colorized and that's that... now for someone who can do this thing... that's not that
Basicly it's skinning msn but instead of a regular skin it uses msn images in a new color...
