I want to change the look of the bar I indicate in the picture. Does anyone know the way to do it?

its in the 1004 and 1009 files

I looked in the 1004 and 1009 files and I replaced the pictures with mine. Now the entire contact list disappeared.

This is what the trace file writes:

Open your SkinInfo.xml in Notepad hit Ctrl + G and type 61 highlight and copy all text on Line 61 and paste it here for us.. Or attach your SkinInfo.xml.

Also it says

Could be that you're trying to use a Stylesheet named "clss" which isn't in your skin folder to be called for in the skin?

I fixed that but now an another problem occurred. The pictures are not displayed properly. They get stretched. I put Willz's bar to check if it happens with every bar and with Willz's bar it was working great. I made the dimensions the same as Willz's and the problem continues. See the screenshot

I cant find these images, ive searched in both folders (1004 & 1009) but i dont recognize em, wich is the id and dimensions of this image, do i have to make something else than replace it on Skininfo or just that?, hope you can help me, Bye

they aren't images...but rccolors...I'm also trying to change them

Any background that has an rcclr can be replaced with an rcbkd tag. You just have to make sure you set up the UMMargin part right or it just wont work.

@Basilis - Just because mine work does not mean that if you replace the image with yours it will work 100%.

Willz could you please give more information about this bar in specific?, how can i replace or delete it, thanks

ok heres lines 8 - 33 of the 1004 style file, 1004 and 1009 are structured almost identically so should be easy to find in both files.

that changes it to black bar with white text on it, text is controled via the foreground: tag back refers to the actual bar so change

Background:rgb(0,0,0);

to

Background:rcbkd(59020);

you get the idea, any problems come back to me.
