Transparent Trillian Contact List

Some people already know about the ECL (Extended Contact List) plugin for Trillian, if you don't check this . I wasn't very satisfied with the themes that came with the plugin, so I had to modify the Aero one, now it looks like this :

Would you like me to share it ? It works well with any theme, there's only one problem though, I am still trying to figure out how to remove the My Contacts text, I searched the skin's XML file but couldn't find anything. If someone knows how to do this please tell me.

Hehe, thanks, well yeah still messing with XML files at the moment, I will be releasing other themes, but not everyone has Trillian Pro

do share it, i'm loving the plugin.

here's what i've figured out so far, using longhorn silver's skin.xml:

line 26, which look like

   <font  name="section"	type="Arial"	size="8"	bold="1"/>

corresponds to the headers ('My Contacts' or whatever other identities you've made) in question. the most conventional, albeit a bit unprofesseional solution i've found is to replace arial with tn blank, a blank font i found for use with this kind of thing. to apply this to any skin, find the aforementioned line, and replace it with

   <font  name="section"	type="TN Blank"	size="8"	bold="0"/>

hope this helps solve the problem.

here's what mine looks like:

edit: have you found out how to change that ugly folder icon yet?

Here's a more elegant solution...It uses inline CSS, so just stick it anywhere between the font tags on line 26

style: "{display:none;}"

That should work (I'm assuming you know enough XML to know where to place this)
