[Request] Edit Contact List Colors? by Keikonium on 09-08-2006 at 05:32 PM

Would a script be possible to change the colors of contact names in the contact list?

3 options would be good:

1. Change contact name color
2. Change contact personal message color
3. Change contact "Now Playing" color

This would be universal, meaning that it would apply the changes to every contact.

If this is possible via a script, that would be wonderful :). Thanks for reading.

I don't think this is possible as the colour the names and personal messages are set by codes actually contained within the name. I don't think that there is a way to easily change the colour from what it's been set to by the contact. Also, the now playing is shown in blue I believe, but I think this is because it is a hyperlink and so is not possible to change.

Saying all this though, it may be possible to hook the window, but that goes straight over my head

Oh, I meant default colors :). Like how the contact names are black, PSM is grey, and songs are blue.

Hooking the window sounds like an option, yeah. I have no idea how to do that lol. If a contact makes their name certain colors with Plus! they should be excluded. Just need the script to modify the default black/grey/blue.

I posted at Stuffplug asking for this to be added if a script isn't possible.
