| | Prevent chat window background color change? [14.0.8064.206] I don't know if this is an extremely new feature or if everyone I chat with has the same background color, but today for the first time a chat window opened when a friend messaged me and it did not use the same color as my default background, but rather the SENDER's color. DO NOT WANT!!! I looked through Tools | Options and don't see anything that suggests "Always use my personal background color for chat windows." Can this be done? Can I tell Messenger to NEVER use the sender's background colors, only my own? |

| | Re: Prevent chat window background color change? Greetings Jeff, You can do this, however, this feature is a bit hidden. Right-click in the scene area (the top where the background colour is, their display name, etc.) and choose 'Use the default scene'. Unfortunately this is per contact, so you'll need to do it for everyone. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Jeff Johnson" <i.get@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OIKi9c#oJHA.1172@xxxxxx Quote: > [14.0.8064.206] > > I don't know if this is an extremely new feature or if everyone I chat with has the same > background color, but today for the first time a chat window opened when a friend messaged > me and it did not use the same color as my default background, but rather the SENDER's > color. > > DO NOT WANT!!! > > I looked through Tools | Options and don't see anything that suggests "Always use my > personal background color for chat windows."

Hi Jeff, In all honesty, I only just found the feature not too long ago myself whilst randomly clicking. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Jeff Johnson" <i.get@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OU7WNvkpJHA.1288@xxxxxx Quote: > Egad. I never would have right-clicked there. Thanks! It's working, but you're right: it's > too bad this can't be set globally. > |
