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

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.

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

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