How to Change the Screen Name Colors in Aim 6

Posted 1 year ago at 10:26 pm. 34 comments

Some people might not like the screen name colors in Aim 6, and may want it to be red and blue, or blue and green. Here’s a quick guide on how to change the colors of your screen name and to change the colors of other people’s screen name.

 

 

To change Your Screen Name colors in Aim 6

Navigate to the directory below. Depending on your Version of Aim. If you can’t find it, upgrade to the latest version of aim at aim.com

If you have Aim 6.8 Your Directory is:

C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\
imApp\ver6_8_10_1\content\im\default.css

  • Open the File in Notepad
  • Scroll down to .localname
  • Next You will have to Find an HTML Color Value to input.
  • Visit Colors, and select a color.
  • Notice the 6 digit code combination at the top.
  • This Code is what you will type under local name.

.localName {

font:12px Arial;

color:#D73306;

}

  • Highlight over the Color Code. In this example it is #D73306
  • Type the Color Code from the Website that you chose.
  • Put a ‘#’ before the code and make sure there is a ‘;’ after your code

.localName {

font:12px Arial;

color:#000000;

}

  • Press File > Save

To Change the Screen Name Color of the person you IM.

In default.css find any .remote name

.remoteName0 {

font:12px Arial;

color:#0F0595;

}

  • Change the color by inserting a color value just like you did above.

Other .remoteName deal with the color of screen names in chatrooms. You can change any of these screen name colors the same way you did before. These colors will be given to people at random so do not expect to see much changes unless you drastically changed them all.

Creating Aim 6.0 Skins: Images and Icons

Posted 1 year, 2 months ago at 1:28 pm. 0 comments

Aim 6.0 skins handles images a little awkwardly. Hopefully this will be changed in the end, but to be on the safe side we will follow its rules of making and using images. For the most part, your images won’t be over 32×32. So you have to think small and you also have one more thing going against you, Transparent PNGs.

 

Unless you have a good graphics program you probably won’t be able to create transparent PNGs. You don’t really have to use a transparent PNG but you’ll notice that you might get a white background distracting the title bar’s color of black, blue, orange, etc… If you have the skills to do so, please cut out the image your going to be using an icon. Otherwise, use a font and set that on another layer. When you create the actual PNG, make sure you have alpha layer transparency or use a background color similar to the skin. Please make sure this background color has blended with your icon.
