Hello,

first of all i need to sorry because my english is not the best.
Although I hope you can understand me.

I want to make a little skin not much, just everything black without special color gradients or something. and there should be a background picture in the chatwindow and the contactlist.
Now to my Problem.
How do I insert a backgroundimage for the contactlist that it looks like like the chat window...so that the image is normaly there but underneath the text array its more bright. I hope you know what i mean. so my next problem: i want to change the color of the font of the statusmessage but its still just black. And the last problem. the searchbar, i also read about it how to get it away. but is also didtn work. i hope you can help me and you understand me and my descriptions.

okay: so far i got all problems solved
just one doesnt want to go how i want it.....i got a picture in the contactlist....but the picure seems to be in front of the contactlist so i cant see the contacts or neither click on a contact(okay even im posible if i cant see them)

so how can i get it in the back of the list, behind the contacts?






theres a picture of what i mean...i hope you know this problem and can help me solving it. =)

the colors of the contact list. are  the 1002 style file

Foreground:rcclr("msgr",85);  The "85" is just one example. can find various numbers in place.

All "Foreground:rcclr" are colors

   
The "85" is related to the folder colors "msgres_colors.txt ", the " 85" is the bank.



65=rgb(6,182,255)
74=rgb(100,122,172)
84=argb(0,255,255,255)
85=rgb(255,255,255)
86=rgb(0,0,0)
87=rgb(0,0,0),ref
621=rgb(51,51,51),ref
622=rgb(136,136,136),ref
623=rgb(53,90,136),ref
624=rgb(172,190,214)
631=rgb(136,136,136),ref
632=rgb(0,102,204),ref



You can change the "85", for the number, you want from the table that is within a file "msgres_colors.txt"

los "rgb" son los que determinan un color "(xxx,xxx,xxx)"     
the (255,255,255) is white


can also create new colors. within its skininfo.xml. within its <New>

<New>
<Colors>               
                       
<Color Id="59501"><R>255</R><G>255</G><B>255</B></Color>
</Colors>   
</New>

   
and this way replace the id by "85" of its new id color.


Foreground:rcclr("msgr",59501);


Remember to replace the style1002 by yours. 

if all the "Foreground:rcclr", it puts "85", your contact list would be white.

and you'll realize what I say.

It's not the just colour that's the problem, it's the position of the picture, as you can see from the tiny scrollbar at the side

I put mine just below this line in definition 1001:

xml code:

---

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

---

and it shows behind the text, rather than in line with it.

the color already shall be white...hopefully...=)


so and what should i add or change in my 1001 definition?
the "16E32D35-5350-4805-B7F0-5E782510AF6F"?
if i should i did....and it didnt worked =/
i guess i'm just to new to the topic skinning =(
hope you can help me

No, you need to put the line of code for your picture UNDER that line that I told you.

You don't change any of that line, you put the code for your picture under it

the code for the picture is in a totaly other file...it was something like wlmcontainer or something in this kind

is not easy to see the problem, if I do not have.
perhaps if you can show your skin.

you mean i should upload it, that you can find the error?

    <Element id=atom(mainwndcontainer) Layoutpos=client Layout=FillLayout() Class="HIGStandardFont" background=rcbkd(59923)>
        <Element Layout=BorderLayout()>
            <Element id=atom(header) Layoutpos=top Height=0/>

there is the picture code...hope that helps

oh i forgot whitch file it was in
