Okay I have 3 questions that I will put all in one topic. If anyone can help with any of the three, that'd be wonderful. Here goes:

1. When I added a background to my entire layout, I got these weird colored cornors on my skin. No matter which background I use, it happens. Does anyone know how to get rid of them (are they images?)?:



2. I want to make the display picture in the contact list area larger. I can't figure out how to do this >.<! Does anyone know how to make it larger?:



3. This is sort of two questions in one. What are the differences between border, fill, flow, verticalflow etc layout modes? Also, how would I go about stretching this out to the side (I can provide code if needed):

Answers:

Q1: Consolidated windows is your best friend in this case, it will show all the images that are used in a UIFILE, this will help you solve the problem. 1653 is the image you need to edit to fix those corners in the chat window, I wont tell you the contact list as spoon feeding wont teach

Q2: Dash board Display Picture can't be adjusted in size due to windows live messenger restrictions

Q3: I will be explaining all these layouts in my 3rd part to my skinning guide with examples. Its a lot easier to explain this way. No ETA on it though.

Q1: Lol, I prefer to learn as aposed to being spoon fed the answers anyways. Thanks for the help with this, I found what I was looking for .

Q2: Can't be adjusted eh? I'll take your word for it... HOWEVER, is it possible to replace its resource with the display picture from the sign in window OR the chat window? I want the image to be 96x96 anyways, so either of those other two images would be fine .

Q3: Looking forward to it, thanks ^_^.
