You can put any bitmap image as the background this includes your avatar (if you open it in a paint program and save it as a bitmap). The only problem may be that you can no longer see your contacts names as the avatar is too dark. In which case you will have to watermark your image. Oh and try not to have a huge bitmap image as it will make your contact list scrolling lag like anything.

lvback.gif stands for list view background.gif as msn7 no longer uses a list view support for lvback.gif no longer exists... hence why we must reshacker


Also you may notice that the side of your picture gets chopped off.. to avoid this add 35pixels to the left hand side of your picture in your favourite paint program. This should ensure the picture isn't cut off (remember to change the size in the UIFILE now).

Changing the #000000 value supposedly changes the transparency. I assume its in html colour code format where #FFFFFF is white. I haven't tested it but i assume it works.
