It would be nice to be able to put a background on the nicklist.
It's quite dull with the usual colors that mIRC comes with, and yes, I know that I can change them, but then it'll look all weird in channels and where ever the colors appear.

this has been suggested before try using the search feature

/color listbox N
N is a number of the color
if that what u meant

By background, i assume they mean an image such as the channel bar, or task bar--not a solid color. >:D

yup your assuming correctly ...... but i do believe this was suggested acouple previous times as i also posted my approval of the idea as i think it would make mirc look more balanced ...... the nicklist box and edit box is the only thing u cant supply a background to currently ....... i just think it would make common sense to add it to allow for that
