No, because giving that advice to every skin user is much more complicated that doing this (since it's automatically replaced my Messenger Plus! upon installation). Also you can give this picture meta-data, so it'll be stretch-able etc.

Ok, there's so many opinions here that I've gotten kind of lost. I want to make the background of my contacts slightly transparent. I know the alpha code I want, but I just can't figure out where to put it.

Open up the 1001 style file and find the element ai558 at the end of it. Change it background from rcbkd; to argb(125,255,255,255) and you will have the result you want.

Is it just that change? It won't work for me for some reason D: Even if I put it to (0,255,255,255) it won't go completely transparent. Also, I have a really busy background on the main skin on all the toasts and sign on window...Does that not go to the contacts table? I was sure it did because when I tried some things it wouldn't show the contact table and would instead show my background.

change it to (0,0,0,0)

I just tried that, nothing changed in the contact window. I'm wondering if something is interfering with it...do you have something changed in the definition file as well?

EDIT: Nvm..I don't know what I was doing wrong the other times, but now it works O.o

EDIT: Or I thought it did o.o now I can't get the contacts window to show up...ok, when it's rcbkg it works, but when I change it to argb it disappears...

ok...I've been tring to bring my contact list back to white as an option...and i figured out how to do that.
Even though with ai550 and ai558 with rgb(255,255,255), it wasn't turning to white, then, i tried changing ai559, it is now working pretty fine...
(change ai550, 558 and 559 to the same color you want, i think it will work, to be transparent, alpha from 0(transparent)-255(opaque))

Does anybody know how to change the selected groupd colour?

here is a pic to explain better

blessedguy, what you mewan is when you have your curser selected on a group or a contact and it has the blue highlighter bar with black text right? jason is the one who cracked that in our skin on the dark style files, if you go into my 365 skin and open up 923 Styles Dark and look for any blocks where colour is being set to (0,0,0) as that will refer to the bar in question, al our text in that specific file we made white to show up against the dark backgrounds.
