Can you change the nick, status and psm colours? My skin doesn't look very good with the white nick, as the background also is white.

Thanks in advance

Yes this has been discussed before

I believe I have an example in Beaver and Steve skin you can do it either in styles or definitions but personally I think it belongs in styles. You have to change or add the foreground value I think I definitely did it in Beaver and Steve, see what you can find in the contact list style

Or search some more look at other skin source codes etc, it's definitely here somewhere

Aah... it's great when you have skinned Messenger before!

EDIT: Weeeeee 1000th post!!!11!!1!one!11!eleven! Shall I waist another tid on it?

Basically do what he has said. You name will be in UIfile 923 under "idFriendlyName". Change "foreground:" to "rcclr(20014);" That should give you a black name. I'm assuming you know how to do the rest already.

Just use whatever colour code you want.

Thanks, it worked
