Skinning the Beta

[freddy]

Some people have asked in various threads how to skin the new messenger, I wrote some basics, the process is complex with many many colours, fonts and images that can be changed, so I put together the basics to get people started.

The names used state what they are for, so it's quite self explanatory:

Thats a great walk through, but do you know the name of the file that is the background for the actual buddy list so I can save a copy of that and replace that picture? I was toying around and was only able to change the pic on the dropdown menus bg.

I didn't notice any way of changing the background, if you look in the xml file you may be able to add an entry and play with all the offsetting and use an image, but I am not really sure...
