Description: THis is 1 of my first background images for pidgin.I created the image from a wallpaper i found on gnome look,and file i copyed and modifyed to use the image for gonme look.Hope you like . I plan to make more of them for other distros. Just copy the hidden file and image to your home folder to use. then restart pidgin
Create in /home/username/.purple/ a subfolder named backgrounds/ and save the background to this folder.
Now edit the .gtkrc-2.0 file in your /home/username/ folder.
Insert there your path to your backgorund
For example:
Quote:
pixmap_path "~/"
style "my-blist" {
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "/.purple/backgrounds/pidginfedora.png"
text[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
#this makes the text white, if you want black, take this code:
#text[NORMAL] = "#000000"
bg[NORMAL] = "#F5D8BC"
base[NORMAL] = "#F5D8BC"
GtkTreeView:: odd_row_color = ""
GtkTreeView:: even_row_color = ""
}
widget "*pidgin_blist_treeview" style "my-blist"

Can you tell me how to change background of message window?
How do you change the background? I've tried to copy the file to home folder but nothing happens. :(
