Thanks for all your replies.

I have, completely by accident, fixed the problem.

I am posting this, both to thank you all, and for future reference in case anyone else encounters the same problem.

I don't understand what it going on, but, tried reversing what I did to fix it, to ensure that it was indeed the cause of the problem.

The problem was caused by a completely unrelated program, Chatzilla.

Chatzilla comes with 3 custom skins, 2 white, and one black.  All 3 are harsh....and, as said before, white backgrounds give me headaches.

I am able to replace these with custom skins....so, that's exactly what I did, as soon as I found one online that I liked.

This, then caused MSN Messanger (and my screen shots) to revert back to how they were before.

Again, I don't understand why a completely unrelated program would cause this.

I have attached both skins.

The problematic one is called white.css
The replacement, which solved the problem, is called seamonkey_int_motif.css

Thanks again for all your time.

EDIT : It won't allow me to send *.css files...apologies for that.
