y change the colour when u could put a pic in there
example
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/attachment.php?pid=356401
to do this make a new pic and save it in you're msn messenger folder in the program files and name it "lvback" no quotes. but it has to be in .GIF format hope that helps and im sure there is also a resource hack to but i aint allowed to talk about that
EDIT: i should have read youre post better i dont know how to change the colour but u could just make the pic big enough to cover ur entire contact list and just save it to what colour u want
