Thanks for all, but I mean it for Trillian and I need any suggestion how to make all windows and menus transparent.... Not only contact list

Something like this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/24613154/ but for Trillian and for all windows of Trillian...

AFAIK it's not possible because they don't support transparent PNG's in the skinning engine...though I could be wrong.

You can make Trillian windows transparent through the preferences, or right clicking the tops of windows etc

Please, which program for instant messaging, support transparent PNG's for skinning?

I tried the Enhanced Contact List (ECL) plugin and found it to be really useful. Problem is that it's a beta version and there aren't a lot of configuration options available at present. I would love to be able to adjust font/fontsize/placement/etc, but its obviously not supported up to now.

Another thing is that I cant find any skins, so I made a black one for myself by tweaking the Aero skin which is included in the pack. You can see it in action on this screenie (hit "view fullsize"):

I would love to be able to tweak trillian the way miranda allows it, as you can see here:

So, is anybody of you using/tweaking this plugin?
