Vista - Problems with Colour in WLM 9

Firstly i set a theme for my main contact list window and everything is fine,
when i come to selecting the default colour in a conversation window it shows
the colour that is identical to the colour scheme of the theme or the colour
in the main contact window but when selected it changes to the windows live
colour instead of the default colour of the main contact list window.

www.msn.com :S

Hi Pri,

Thanks much for your feedback! To your first question, you will set a scene
from your main window as well as a complimentary color, this will reflect on
your main window (Me Area and color for the rest of the window) and your
contact's conversation windows (You Area and color for the rest of the
window). You will in exchange see your contact's scene and color of choice
in every conversation window. If your contact hasn't set any color (or
hasn't upgraded to Beta) then you will see the Windows Live blue color as it
is the default.

The second issue you reported is being taken care of.

Thanks!

My favorite site of the week:
http://messenger-9.spaces.live.com/b...9.entry?fl=cat

But what if i want to choose the color myself
I liked the beta released in august or so cuz it let me change the color

Id choose the color based on their hair color or style etc.
and not everyone picks a scene that reflects their personality, some just
use the deafult or a landscape.

Give us the option, please

Also, my computer wont let me install messenger at ALL after i tried
uninstalling the new version (didnt work) then install the beta.
i need to clear my comp of windows live, completely, especially windows live
contacts, how do i do it?

Hi,

I miss the custom colour I can set too.

What exactly is happening when you try to install the older version?

By the contacts, do you mean you wish to clear them entirely on the server or just the stored
contact cache for some reason? If the latter, the "Windows Live Contacts" folder can be
deleted by doing the following:

Shut Messenger down and then head over the following folder;

On XP you can find this folder at:
\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft

On Vista, you'll find it at:
\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft

Where username is your Windows username. Additionally, some of these folders will be hidden
by default, to see them simply press the
Alt key on the keyboard in any Windows Explorer window to bring up the toolbar, click Tools,
then Folder Options, then the View tab, and then choose 'Show hidden files and folders'.
After click OK, they should appear with the other folders.

I have WLM 2009, and something happened to the color scheme! It is SERIOUSLY
screwed up. When I click on the button "Launch the colorizer" all my colors
are just border colors. The inside of all the boxes are white. Reading my
emai is EXTREMELY hard. This sux. My email selection screen has ALL GREY text
color. If I click on a row to read an email, the color changes to more of a
darker kind of grey. Give me a break! I want the old color scheme back, but
there is now way anywhere to pick a default color scheme! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGG!
