So...I found it!

In the 920 style file, the element for the user nickname at the top is "FramelessWindowTitle"

You can change the colors for active and nonactive window states.

In the same file, the element for the contact's PSM is "WindowSubText" (at least it is, when there isn't a PSM and it defaults to their e-mail.)

In those elements you can change their foreground color, or you can do like I did and keep the colorization attribute and just override the intensity in the SkinInfo XML.

Here's how I fixed the brightness of the PSM text area...

<Colors>
                        <Color Id="1656">
                            <I>208</I>
                        </Color>
                    </Colors>

Thanks again, TRash19, for pointing me in the right direction!

Sorry to bump, but I discovered something further.

WindowSubText is for the contact's e-mail address, under their name.  idPSM is the correct entry to change color for the PSM.  I was trying it on a contact who had no PSM, just their address, and assumed the element had the same color, no matter if a PSM or e-mail was displayed.

TRash19 was right about it!

idPSM = Contact's personal status message
WindowSubText = Contact's e-mail address, beneath their nickname
FramelessWindowTitle = Contact's nickname

well ok.but if you want to change the above in the main window,then you have to try it in the 923 style file.

How do you change white color of my nickname in the main window(contactlist)??? I want it black.

I think is either an element called Friendlyname or mearea. Change their foreground to (0,0,0) and it will be ok. If they don't have a foreground then add this

Foreground:rgb(0,0,0);

that works thanks a lot Basilis.

Don't mention it. Out of topic, but why didn't you put as your username [A]llard?
