It looks like you might have gotten rid of the space left over after deleting the buttons at the bottom of the buddy list. If so, how were you able to do that? I'll put a pic on here so you can see exactly what I mean.



It's circled at the bottom with an arrow pointing to it.

If you're asking me what version of AIM i'm using it's 5.5.3595. I'm also using Style XP with the visual XtremeXP (Blue). I'm also getting the green cursor style with the CursorXP Plus program.

I like your desktop and how tiny you've got aim What are using to skin? WindowBlinds or a msstyles program?

[Scipiox]

It's msstyles program style xp...the theme is nonstep you can find the theme on www.customize.org

[Someguy03]

To point out. Remember that you can use a UXtheme.DLL patch and you don't need a program to run visual styles. Also may I ask PanteraOpeth, could you tell me where is the image for that "away message ON" at the top of your buddylist is?

<div align="left">No I didn't know that about the UXtheme.dll.
