You could create a theme I believe... But then the text would still be black...

Yea, Thats What Happens when you only make a theme. You would think AOL would already have a feature like this...

I believe you can save your buddylist and then edit the save file to get a different buddylist background color. I'm not exactly sure about what to edit, but you could start by looking for "window color" or something along those lines.

I'm Not Exactly sure you can do that.
But It's Worth A Try...

So, did anyone ever figure out how to change the color of the buddylist window?

you could prolly just make a theme with a big picture of the color you want and put it as the background image for your buddylist

Yes you can change the background color. I have to refind the hex coordinates... but I'll post them later when I get a chance. I have to get to work right now...

That's not what I want to change. Where all the screenames are, I want to change the background color.
