Shoutbox

i am using 2009 and i like the normal skin but: the people that use an old version are all blue windows.. can i change that?

No, the colour of the conversation window relates to the colour of the other person's messenger.

If they change their messenger colour to something else (even if they're using 8.5) it will change the colour of the conversation window

You can still do it.

js code:

---

var oDirectUIDefaultColour = 0x891C;
var oDirectUIStatusColour9 = {
                             1 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+11,    // offline
                             3 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+10,  // online
                             4 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+5,  // busy
                             5 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+4,  // away
                             6 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+4,  // away
                             7 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+4,  // away
                             8 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+5,  // busy
                             9 : oDirectUIDefaultColour+4   // away
                            }

function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart) {
    OnEvent_SigninReady();
}

function OnEvent_SigninReady(sEmail) {
    if (Messenger.MyStatus === 0) return;
    for (var oChatWnd = new Enumerator(Messenger.CurrentChats); !oChatWnd.atEnd(); oChatWnd.moveNext()) {
        OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(oChatWnd.item());
    }
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(pChatWnd) {
    if (pChatWnd.Contacts.Count !== 1) return;
    for (var oContact = new Enumerator(pChatWnd.Contacts); !oContact.atEnd(); oContact.moveNext()) {
        Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', pChatWnd.Handle, 0x111 /* WM_COMMAND */, oDirectUIStatusColour9[oContact.item().Status], 0);
    }
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndDestroyed(pChatWnd) {
    Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', pChatWnd.Handle, 0x111 /* WM_COMMAND */, oDirectUIDefaultColour, 0);
}

function OnEvent_ContactStatusChange(sEmail, nNewStatus) {
    for (var oChatWnd = new Enumerator(Messenger.CurrentChats); !oChatWnd.atEnd(); oChatWnd.moveNext()) {
        if (oChatWnd.item().Contacts.GetContact(sEmail) != null) {
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', oChatWnd.item().Handle, 0x111 /* WM_COMMAND */, oDirectUIStatusColour9[nNewStatus], 0);
        }
    }
}

function OnEvent_ContactSignout(sEmail) {
    OnEvent_ContactStatusChange(sEmail, 1);
}

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(sEmail) {
    OnEvent_ContactStatusChange(sEmail, Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(sEmail).Status);
}

yes, i just packed the script up so it was easier for you to install.

if you understand the code you can change the colours to whatever you want using the bits at the top
