Open preferences, and then go to "appearance"
there's a slider that lets you chose the opacity of the contacts list.

Yeah, it just only goes to 5%, and I can still see it a bit against my wallpaper. I suppose it will just have to do. Thanks anyway.

Why not just close the Contact List? I mean if you have it at 0% opacity then you won't be able to see the list. I'd imagine this is kinda why the 5% limit is there.

The names stay black, but it means the list edges fade into the background.

I haven't had much luck with this (but I'd like to do it). I find the text shadows of the names go all horrid.



The first is how I usually have it, as a compromise. The second is 0% opacity but the text outlines are hideous. The third is 100% opacity. The text looks great, but then on a coloured background this would be a white square.

(The contacts are grey because no-one's online, they're usually black. Johnny No-mates, me....:eek:)
