Hi after trying to get this to work for 2 days (i also searched around google and this forum) i decided to post. I'm trying to make a skin for WLM 2009 14.
What i really want to know is how to add a background to the contact list. here is my skininfo
<SkinInfo>

I'm currently guessing the problem lies in 1001 file i try'd the method found here:
http://www.msgplus.net/skins/resources/tut-Change...t-list-background/ but with no result.
I also want to know if its possible to move in the chat window the Buddy User Image (i want to move it down a little).Also everything i try to modify in the 920 file doesnt seem to apply.
This is not such a priority as the ones above but what would be the correct method to remove the User image at the log in window (or if its possible to make it smaller adn move it to the upper right), since i get this in the skin trace file:

padding:Rect(9,8,14,15);
}
element[id=atom(idUserTileContainer)][class="Full"]
{

}
element[id=atom(idUserTileContainer)][class="Medium"]
{
padding:Rect(5,5,9,9);
}
element[id=atom(idUserTileContainer)][class="Small"]
{

}
element[id=atom(idUserTileBorder)]
{

}

}
Element[Id=atom(idUserTileBorder)][class="DDP"][tag=10]
{

}
element[id=atom(idUserTileVisibility)][visible=false]
Pls dont answer me something like "read the documentations" or by posting a link at msgplus.net/skins/resources/. I read all the info there as well as quite a few threads and wasnt able to resolve my problems.
Ty in advance
