That earlier post was wrong, that refers to WLM 2009, not WLM 8.5

You don't need the 1001 definition, just use the 1001 style and put those few lines at the top of it......that's all i did to mine to get a picture behind the contact list.

Download my skin to see how it's done.  the best way is to look at someone else's code and see how they did it, that's how you learn.

Basically, don't replace the 1001 definition file, just the 1001 style file.

You also need to make sure you've changed the font colour otherwise you won't be able to see anything...just check that the scrollbar looks the normal size, or add an alpha attribute to the picture (like i have done) to make it a bit see-through
