I just created the lvlback file myself, and it worked!!
Steve, the problem you describe, is not occuring using the default skin.

You mean to say that the lvback.gif created by background changer doesn't work?

There is no difference between the lvlback file from Background Changer and a manually created one.

Background Changer simply provides a file selection dialog for selecting your background image, just as you would manually do it. It then copies the image to lvlback, just as you manually would do it.

There is nothing fancy about Background Changer. All it does is making it a bit easier to select a file.

--------------

As TheSteve said, the problem is the skin which doesn't have transparent contactlist entries. Aka: the backround IS there, and Background Changer works perfectly. The problem is that the background isn't visible because of what TheSteve said.

On the background changer script...what dimensions do the pictures have to be to fit the whole contact list background?

any size? you can resize the contact list.

Download the new version, I have added a quick fix. I hope it works.
A permanent solution will be added later on when I have more time.

Doesn't seem to work for me, the [...] to browse doesn't and when I copy and paste the path name it doesn't change anything.

I'll try to make permanent fix soonish for the [...] button.

As for pasting the file path: that should work. But make sure you do not have a skin running, or at least a skin with a transparent background for the contact list.

And of course make sure the file you paste is actually a picture.

When the file is valid (and you don't have a skin which has its own background) and you press "ok" you're contact list should close and re-open automatically and you should see a background.

PS: you can also use the command '/changbg <filename>' to set the background.
