Does anyone know how to change the contact list text colour as in mine and stuarts skin pack with the christmas theme the text is black but doesn't show up well on the tree background and it would be nice if it was white

Have you tried adding the Foreground-property where you put the Background-property for the tree background?
To select the color white, use the RGB function like this:
(stylesheet example)

code:

---

Foreground:rgb(255,255,255);

---

Or you can load it from a resource you've created, using:

code:

---

Foreground:rcclr(<ID>);

---

Yeah I used foreground:rgb(255,255,255) to change the group title text colours but wasn't sure where to put it to change the contact list text colour so i will try adding it to the background property

edit: I am sure I changed the background colour in the ablayout tag and added in the foreground line but it didnt work there

Edit the 1004 (detailed contact list) and 1009 (compact contact list) stylesheets.

Where you see:

code:

---

Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected]
{
Background:rcclr(20061);
Foreground:rcclr(20065);
}
Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected][windowactive=false]
{
Background:rcclr(20064);
Foreground:rcclr(20065);
}
Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected][keyfocused=false]
{
Background:rcclr(20064);
Foreground:rcclr(20065);
}
Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected][indrag]
{
Background:rcclr(20061);
Foreground:rcclr(20234);
Alpha:128;
}

Edit the foreground values there. And do the same for 1009.

Edit: To add the default foreground, you have to create the last style by yourself like this:

code:

---

Element[id=atom(listitem)]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20065);
}

---

This one tells Messenger what to show normally when it's not selected, indrag or inactive.

thanks Vikke, so Jason i trust we will be implementing this soon lol.

EDIT:

actually i will attempt this over the weekend.

Hi!

I try the editting, but is not work. Sometimes i see a big nothing, because the contact list window is blank... i change a showing to a compact contact list and the colors are not changed. Help Me, pls!

Well its worked for me

Next thing to do is change the PSM colours to white

And other color is not good? Maybe orange or other...because, i want to change my C. L. background to black, and the other colors are green and orange..

search on the internet for RGB colours, click on one of the search results and it will come up with RGB values for the colours

Edit:

The green i used was 0,102,0

Here is a RGB value for orange 255,140,0

I use a Paint () for the colours. And i write this to the 1004.style:

Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected]
{
    Background:rgb(255,128,0);
    Foreground:rgb(48,172,182);
}
Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected][windowactive=false]
{
    Background:rgb(228,228,228);
    Foreground:rgb(51,51,51);
}
Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected][keyfocused=false]
{
    Background:rgb(228,228,228);
    Foreground:rgb(51,51,51);
}
Element[id=atom(listitem)][selected][indrag]
{
    Background:rgb(255,128,0);
    Foreground:rgb(128,128,128);
    Alpha:128;
