To get rid of the color button, open up the 923 Definition file. Search for thr following text:

code:

<button active=mouse|nosyncfocus accessible=false id=atom(ToolbarScrollRight) class="HIGToolbarRightScrollButton" tooltip=true/>                                           
<Button layoutpos=left cmdid=40317 id=atom(colorizedropdownbtn) AccRole=57 Class="TransparentButton" Layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) Active=MouseandKeyboard|NoSyncFocus Padding=rect(5,4,5,4)>
<element class="ToolbarIcon" ID=Atom(ai210)/>
</Button>

Remove it and your color button will be gone . If you have trouble finding it, search for cmdid=40317. Make backups just incase you remove something you didn't want to .

I think for Sil Messenger part its either text or an image, I can't remember. I haven't gotten around to editing that in my skin yet.

And for the buttons, the original ones are stored in RLE format. You can't use RLE since its some microsoft thing. Sooo, you need to replace each button, and each of their states with a seperate image. Here is a thread explaining it:

Changing Multi-Images


I hope this helps. I am pretty darn new to skinning, so sorry I can't go into a lot of detail .
