I was wondering whether it is possible to change the window colour of the Msg Plus! Live windows from the default blue to a nice black to match my Windows Vista operating system theme which is the graphite black colour?

Thanks to anyone who helps me with this!

The MsgPlus windows should be coloured based upon the colour chosen for your Messenger contact list.

The windows are still the deafult blue colour..(see below)

It is based on the colour chosen from the "Colorize" button in the Messenger contact list. Since your skin removes that button then you must temporarily disable the skin, then colorize your window to a suitable colour (for example, black).

EDIT: There's probably also a registry key you could modify to save the trouble of disabling the skin then re-enabling it later, but it is probably safer and more straight-forward to just use the 'longer' method.

I changed the colour scheme of the window and it did change the Msg Plus! windows to the black colour I would like, thanks Volv.

However the add contact window (see below) is bearly readable.



I know this is mearly to do with the way the skin has been made though.

Is it possible to edit the xml code to change the colour of the text in the black add contact window?

Well I do not know how to do this, so I guess its staying black =[

* Willz appears before a cloud of smoke because he was summoned.

Ok well first of all I am well aware of this issue. I did work around it a bit in the first release by setting the toast text to white so that If someone did colorize to black it would be readable. I did not do the same for the add/edit contacts because the white text is a bit hard to read with other colors

The problem is that WLM's colorize feature is just horrible in some cases (a hsb system would be much better *hint hint at patch )

Now I have no problem changing the text to white, but of course I did notice that it makes it a tiny bit harder to read. Either way I am doing a bit of updating with the skin so you should see a solution to this fairly soon. So do not worry too much.

Willz has spoken

When do you reckon the update will be made? Hopefully sometime before Christmas so I could have it as a sort of Christmas present lmao.

But anyway I love the skin and I am looking forward to seeing an update.

no eta cos I got a few other things I'm working on at the moment which matter more. There are a few other things I wanna fix / add so yeah I don't know.
