You can do this by opening notepad first, then dragging the default.css file which is located at C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\ imApp\ver6_#_#_#\content\im\default.css Now the reason why it says Ver6_#_#_# is because everyone who installs aim will have different versions. There's no way I can predict what version number everyone has so please read this article for better understanding on how you would navigate to that directory. http://bumped.org/tek/2009/07/27/how-to-extract-files-and-install-a-skin/4/ No. Make sure you pay attention to the Yellow part.

I don't suggest trying this method if you don't know how to browse folders.

I edited the file without problems, but the color change doesn't always work. It seems to randomly show up as the color I changed it to. Sometimes with a certain person, it will be the color, and other times, it won't be. Is there any other settings that can be overriding then change? It’s strange.
