Hey Guys...

Im new to this whole thing and am abit stuck with the background thing, i am only 13 so please dont say im rubbish at it all, but help would be nice

I have had a look at the tutorials for getting a background on my contact list,

Here is my .xml : i have underlined the things i think i may have messed up on.

<SkinInfo>
  <Information>
    <Name>Test Skin</Name>
  </Information>
  <MessengerSkin>
    <ResGroup>
      <Restrictions>
        <MsgVersions>
          <Version Major="14" Minor="0" />
        </MsgVersions>
      </Restrictions>
           
      <Resources>
      <Replace>
                <Strings>
            <String Id="61288">Remember Me!</String>
            <String Id="61143">Corey D97'S Messenger</String>
            <String Id="46620">Corey D97'S Messenger</String>
            <String Id="22176">Corey D97'S Messenger</String>
          </Strings>
           <Windows>
          <definitions>
          <definition Id="1001">
          <file>msgres_def_1001.txt</file>
          </definition>
          </definitions>
          </Windows>
      </Replace>
       
<New>
  <Pictures>
    <Picture Id="59000">
      <File>phoenix.jpg</File>
    </Picture>
  </Pictures>
</New>
       
      </Resources>
    </ResGroup>
  </MessengerSkin>
</SkinInfo>

I have also changed this line in the msgres_def_1001.txt

<BuddyList id=atom(abView) Layout=FillLayout() CmdGroup=guid("{16E32D35-5350-4805-B7F0-5E782510AF6F}") background=rcbkd(59000)/>

i have phoenix.jpg, msgres_def_1001.txt and skininfo.xml all in the same folder.

Everything else is working other than the background.

All Help appreciated
