ok there's a long process but don't worry, i'll work you through it. you don't need any programs er anything.

first- find color codes you want for backround er text. depending on what your looking for, you can go on google and type in 'color codes' er you can use this site www.coloryourprofile.com
second- once you get your 1/2 codes, then write them down er keep the site up so you remember them. after go to your BLIST and click on MY AIM at the top & then SAVE BLIST. a box should come up w/ text & different stuff such as your blist sections. uncheck every box except TEXT COMP. & VIEWING SETTINGS.
third- make sure you save it as something you remember, like if your color is blue, save it as blue, that's what i do. & then save that thennn open up notepad. if you don't have that, you can open up any writing program except regular word, it doesn't work right.
fourth- open up notepad & LOAD BLIST & click on your saved one once and juss drag that file with your mouse over to NOTEPAD & then there will be a whole bunch of stuff & then you fill in the bg code under bg & the text code under text, make sure the code is all 6 letters & it has a # sign infront with no spaces.
fifth- save that on notepad, probably it'd be best if it was the same thing & then go to LOAD BLIST again and load that. then go to prefs & your color will be there!!!

if you need any extra help juss leave me one in my inbox er feedback!!!!!!!

-hope that helped!♥

Download Applesauce for AIM. This link should work : : [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)


Applesauce is a tiny program (27 KB) and gives you unlimited color choices. Literally - create your own font color and background color. :)
