So you're saying this person has set the contact list background to appear as part of the vapor image?  If that's the case, how do I change the background image for the contact list?

You can't; that background was built into the skin. You'll need to learn how to skin or get a custom skin made (don't know who'll do that though) if you want this.

EDIT: you can add a background image to the contact list by placing an image file named "lvback.gif" in the Messenger directory, but this is different than what you are looking for.

Yeh, I've been trying to learn skinning so I've been posting around the skinning forums aswell.

Actually, the lvback.gif was what I was looking for.  Thanks heaps for that tip!  There's still a few other things I wanna change like background colour and stuff but I think I'll leave that to the skinning forums.

Cheers mate!
