two questions: background of conversation windows and the "button"bar by kuba33 on 04-30-2008 at 07:44 PM

hi,
i've got two questions: how do i change ONLY(!!!) the background of the conversation window, NOT the background of the buddylist? and how can i change the background of the bar under the name and avatar (look here) and how do i center the buttons on it? it's gonna be my first skin, so please help!!!!!!!!

p.s.: how can you change the color of your status message at the conversation wndow and the text at the "someone has signed in" pop-up?

Go into the 920 Style file and search for the "default background image number (forget what it was :P)" and replace with your own image number (the 59000s).

That is, I believe, the image after/before the image for the name and avatar.

Search for 20061 in 920 Style file and replace it with you own 59xxx ID number. Cite in SkinInfo.xml. :)
