MemberAlright well I searched on differnet sites and looked for a program that will let me change the colors on my buddy list like when a buddy goes idle the screename goes gray, I’d like to change that to a different color or like when you click on a name it highlights it yellow, that one would also be nice to change. I’m not sure if they even have a program that does it but if you guys know of one it would be really great. Thanks!

MemberHere are the hex values…IM ON VERSION 5.5.3572
IM Screennames – 12030 – FF000000(default) – icdmui.ocm
BL Screennames – 63f5 – 01010100(default) – buddyui.ocm
Highlight Color – 63f8 – ffff0000(default) – buddyui.ocm
Hover Pop-up Color – 6497 – FFFFD000(default) – buddyui.ocm
Now I will show you how to do the Buddy Highlight color
I’m using a program called hexworkshop for this
First, go into Buddyui.ocm and scroll down to the hex value 63f8, I have it highlighted in red on this image

You want to highlight the FF FF OO. Before changign any of these values please PLEASE BACKUP your BUDDYUI.OCM
The color I pIcked to changed was a bright blue…if you want another color open up a program such as photoshop and make sure the color is in HTML code.
Heres a pic of me changing the value and what it looks like

any questions please ask.

MemberNO prob man.. I remember how hard it was for me to learn.

MemberAcctually I have discovered something. How to change the highlight color for “all” versions (from what I have seen).
look at the hex workshop screen You could do a search for FF FF 00 and from the results look at the ASCII and see which set of “FF FF 00” is encased by “h . . . . h”. That is the Hex value to be edited.
it seems to be consistant with other versions. I am using 5.9.3690 and it worked.

MemberI tried to do this and went down to 63f8 but my numbers were different. The row of numbers were as follows. 0099 CC68 0068 0099 CC53 8945 B8E8 D2BC 0100 5668 C005 0000 5389 45BC
I dont know which numbers to change to change the color bar, im using 5.5.3572
Any suggestions?

MemberHmm, I’m not sure what hex editor you’re using. Here’s the one I use and recommend to everybody- http://www-physics.mps.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
63f8 is the accurate offset, you just need to be viewing it properly (I’m thinking you have some funky hex editor that displays in a non-traditional layout). Also, if you’re new to hexing, check out my FAQ I wrote– http://jon8rfc.homeip.net –link is up top.
