Anyone got an idea about the border?

If you have a program such as photoshop, and use the eyedrop feature to figure out the RGB value of the sky where you keep your list, you will be able to get a close match, although the color will still overlap the part that goes over the building. You could make your list shorter so that it doesnt touch the building and just stays over the sky. Your image background is also not perfect, as I can see that its off by the tiniest best. Personally, I think your best best is to not use the flat plug-in but the tweakui plugin, shorten your list a bit so that it doesnt go over the building part, and figure out what the sky color is for the list background (this color is right around all the contact items so its important that its close to the color the list is over or it will look pixelated and nasty), and have the transparency effect that way. Not perfect, but as close as it's going to get for now.

I'm sorry that there is no better solution, but if you look at all the screenshots where people have transparent miranda lists, you will see that the list placement is carefully chosen, and the border and/or list background is carefully chosen to match the background as close as possible. Every time we change our wallpaper, we have to move/recolor miranda to match. Some wallpapers are impossible to use because the transparency effect while effective itself, causes artifacts around the contacts that look terrible and pixelated.

My guess is that they're just some forum topic titles

They are all RSS feeds from: 1) www.Aqua-Soft.org 2) www.mpcforum.com 3) www.bbc.com

As for the border problem:

Go the the Miranda website. Go to the plugins section. Download "tweakui". Install, restart, etc. Get it set up.

You have that border? Main Menu > Options > Plugins > Tweak UI > you will see all the border options, unsurprisingly you should select "No border"
