Is there anyway to change the white background where the wordwheel is?
as it totally doesnt fit in with my skin im creating

Thanks..

Of course there is. In the 1001-definition, find WordWheel and add a background parameter for the background element, which would be this one in 8.5:

code:

---

<Element LayoutPos=Top Layout=BorderLayout() BorderThickness=rect(0,0,0,1) Padding=Rect(0,0,2,0) ID=Atom(ai550)>

---

You could also change the stylesheet for 1001, if you want to do that instead, just make a search on ai550.

Edit: I know I'm not explaining very well, the reason is I want you to learn yourself, I will just give you hints.

thankies <3

not working for me....

I guess you mean WLM 8.5 44903 / WLM9.0 44904

well that worked and moved it to the bottom.. but from the toolbar going down the contact list background there is a dodgy grey bit which looks dodgy, how would i remove that
See attachyment

help, i followed the above instructions and as a result no longer have a contact list by this i mean the container that lists my contacts and contact groups is showing but the rest of contact list window is please help me.

EDIT:

i got my contacts back but have discovered beyond all reasonable doubt that messenger 8.5s word wheel cannot be skinned under any circumstance its impossible.

Duck: It's an shadow image, you have to remove the image for it (I replace it with my null.png) , I cannot remember it's ID, but I'm sure you can find it, it's a PNG with a semi-transparent gradient. There's 2 shadows, one for the conversation window, and one for the contact list.

This is caused when Messenger cannot find the image specified. Please see your SkinTrace.txt file in your skins directory.

Edit: It's very very possible to skin the wordwheel, it's simple! It's just that I'm on Linux right now, and I cannot help you out. I'll just reboot.

look ive tried following your instructions you know the whole null.png thing and still it doesnt work, you claim its possible to do this but have you ever seen any skin anywhere that can writen using plus 4.50s skinning system that has actually succeeded in skinning the word wheel cause i never have therefore thats concrete evidence that its impossible.
