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.
