add an argb code inside this element
Nope :( all that does is transparentize the button beside what I wanted to transparentize.

Probably is...Willz, wanna shine some light here?

ok naga, is it not working in the sense that it stuffs up your contact list entirely or in the sense that the contact list shows but the effect is not there?

If its the latter then please post a screen of what is happening. If it is the first one the post then SkinTrace results here.

Everything is fine, except I am not getting the intended affect. The Word Wheel is not transparentizing. Instead, the "Add a Contact" button beside the word wheel is being transparentized. Sorry being unclear before. As for the screenshot, I will if this still is confusing.

no, I get it I was guessing you were gonna say something like that. He just didn't write the tutorial properly :P

Its not complete.

Like yes 1001, makes the list transparent but for the word wheel itself you need to also edit the 44103 style to make the actual word wheel transparent.

find

Element[id=atom(wordWheelTextBackground)]
{
MinSize: size(0,37);
Background:rcclr(20232);
AccName:rcstr(46364);
AccDesc:rcstr(46363);
Tooltip:true;
}
Element[id=atom(wordWheelTextContainer1)]
{
MinSize: size(0,37);
Background:rcclr(20232);
}

And edit it accordingly

Blessedguy you should add this into your tutorial and always make sure that the tutorial works as promised. :)

How can the wordwheel be moved below the contact list. I managed to make it go in the lower part of the contact list but there is a problem. when the contact list's background is white, the bar's background gets white also. But I want it to have the color that the sign in window has. So, when I make the contact list transparent, the wheel is for example red, but when it the CL background is white, the bar's background gets white, although the style file says it should be transparent.  So I figured out that the bar and the buttons must go below the contact list. How can this be done?
