Then you need to edit the $Mircdir Tool Bar /background -l $mircdirblack.bmp Switchbar /background -h $mircdirblack.bmp Main Background /background -mt $mircdirblack.bmp Intelligence: It's better to ask a stupid question, then to prove it by not asking....

Can be a local file or a file from the web. Supports any image format Internet Explorer supports. (GIF, JPG, BMP, etc.) Also requires a layout name after url, which can be: tile image is tiled normal image is not tiled color Sets the background color to the given RGB value. [value] can be default to use the default color. none Removes the background image Example: //did -i myDlg 20 1 setbkg url tile http://www.foo.com/bkg.gif taken directly from MDX helpfile D3m0nnet.com

alias mdxinit {
  dll $mdx_fullpath SetMircVersion $version
  dll $mdx_fullpath MarkDialog $dname
}
dialog nicklist {
