Does it work on your login screen? Do you have any metadata set for the image?

Some advice: don't put spaces in filenames, use an underscore(_) instead.

yeah, it works absolutely fine on my login screen, just sits nicely behind all the other elements on the screen......i don't have any metadata set at all, just the picture as is

also as for the spaces in filenames, this doesn't seem to cause any problem in XML, especially as they're in quotation marks anyway.....if it caused a problem I would change it

Just some basic thing i tend to follow...both for web and this sort of coding (incase a space doesn't get read right). It's just advice anyway.

RE: [How-To] Change Contact List Background
Is it possible to make the contact list have a transparent background?

EDIT:

Nevermind, I figured it out after A LOTTTT of trial and error replacing strings and such. Finally I found out you need to:

1001 Style
Element[ID=Atom(ai558)]
Change to "Background:argb(128,255,255,255);" for a transparent white background ^_^.
