I bet it's messenger's fault.
If you remove the scene background, and let the window's background there, you'll see it goes red.

After much searching I think i've finally pinpointed the cause of the picture alignment (as described earlier)

The display pictures in the conversation window have small amounts of padding around them.

I'm unable to ascertain whether this padding is in the UI files, or in the picture files themselves, as any chance that I make seems to have no effect

The pictures themselves (4400_var, 4401_var, etc) DO have blank space around them corresponding to the gap that's left when I try to add a picture sitting ontop of the display picture.

So I tried adding a new resource without that space around it and replacing it in the UI files, but it made no difference (and I tried setting the 'online' one to be there for every single status, but it didn't change)

I also notice that there's padding in the style file against idUserTileContainer, which I tried setting all of them to 0, but again nothing changed

So it seems like I'm close to being able to solve the problem (and therefore release my skin), but I just can't seem to figure it out

Thank-you .

willz you asked us to report skinning issues with 9.0 here so heres my first issue with it. in 9.0 i cant figure out how to set the word wheel position, in 8.5 i could set it to top or bottom depending on my preference but it only seems to like being on the top in 9.0 is there any way around this?

You can change it's position to top, bottom and none normally... but its in 1002 element I think.
