my contact list is somewhat transparent..and the away messages are hard to see..b/c they're grey. is there a plug in or way to change this? i dont want to change just mine..i want to change them all to black or darker grey.

on a side note, is there a way to do a color fader on the text you write? and not just ure nickname like colornick does?
thanka

Or you could change the look of msn completley and go for a new skin: http://www.messenger-skins.net/

This might change the colour of other away messages so you can see them better.

But tbh im not quite sure, youll have to wait for someone else to see if there is a quick solution.

About the colour fader, there should be a plugin Here, last time i checked there was

Edit: Are you sure on the preferences screen, you havent moved the "Transparency" cursor ?

Plus! > Prefences > Contact List > Transparency Effect.

Make sure this is on "0%".

hmm..any clue where on that website? or what its called? i looked under customization and didnt see any sub categories that really applied..

If you take a look around, its like a big forum, ill have a look myself hold on...

* LittleK checks

http://www.messenger-skins.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=14

Take a look there, should be some good skins.

oh, yeah i went there, didnt really see anything i liked. they were ok *shruggs*
i like the default skin better i think, maybe someday

what i meant was the plugin, on www.mess.be

i did the transparency on purpose, i like it, except the away messages are hard to read, ergo my problem lol. i can read everything else fine.

ahh, im afraid i have no quick fit solution to that All i can say is to highlight the person who's away message you want to read, and should be easier that way.

Ive never heard of it being to hard to read before actually, care to send a screen shot?

Every skin for the lastest version of msn is here

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=49393 Well all those i could find but i know alot of skinners and the insatller maker so i get alot

Oh and btw i know how to change this using reshacker but i doubt you know how to use that

Line 779: foreground:graytext; change to foreground:black;


Just in case anyone wants to know

edit: should i use reshacker? its a program right? pretty sure ill be able to figure it out. sucks that i cant change it with msn plus though.

ok, well it seems to actually be only plus personalized statuses. i just realized even when my opacity is at 100%, they're hard to read.

anyway, screenshot with no transparency, a million times when its transparent, its a pretty light background, the grey is just THAT light. *frown*
