Right click, click properties, go to security, and edit the permissions so that you can modify the file. :) Hope this helped!

So you may actually want to find a nice color and copypaste over the ugly brown color :o http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html may help Oh, and one last side note, with the latest update, the color you have in your theme, also pops up when you have aim minimized and someone signs on, or messages you.

By the way, there is a new version, updated for windows 7, so the icon is on your bigger bar, rather than the mini bar on the right, which this method still works, therefore, it looks like its a permanent way to theme! by the way, you screwed up the guid which is probably your problem ideceased.

However, my glass just looked greyish blue, which was ugly, so i just too a windows 7 startup screenshot, healingbrushed all of the crap so it's just a nice blue background, it looks great!

AIM will automatically find the JPG or PNG file as long as you place it within the theme folder and the name is exactly the same. In your case: texture="box://imApp/Theme/Phatstyle.png" I see you have Aim 7.1 and I have not tested skins with Aim 7.1 @Dallas, That folder directory is fine, as long as the box://imApp/theme/mybackgroundimage.png points directly to your image. Remember to completely close aim then restart it for the theme to show up. If you want you can send me a link to your photoshop picture and I'll send back the xml file for proper placement. @Magic, there is no file dimension it has to be. I have even tiled the mobile icon included in the program as a background for a theme. @Manny In the instructions it says to use box://imApp/theme/mybackgroundimage.png, there is no c:\\.

I figured out my issue, and now my only problem is it's not showing my clear png image. Like, it's literally a square of photoshopped aero glass. It's simply taking the color and thats it.

But it's not working? I have a folder located in Program files -> AIM -> services -> imApp -> ver7_0_13_4 --- named theme that contains a png file of the image i want as my theme. is what I have as my complete theme. Is anything wrong with this? And wood_swatch.png is my swatch because i wasn't too sure what to do or make for that, so if that's screwing it up, can you explain how to fix it? Thanks.
