Changing contact list font and color?
I'm using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 and can't seem to find any way of changing
the font and font color for names in my contact list. Those tiny black letters are harder to see than they should be and don't look very good anyway. The only font controls I could find in Options are for the IM pane only. Thanks for your help. ChrisM

Thanks, Jonathan. I'm not surefooted enough to start playing around with executables. But I'm a little surprised there's no easy way of changing something that so obviously needs changing.
