Default [ Patch Request ] Messaging Renovation

I was looking to see if anyone would know how to make this happen. I've played around in stylesheets through Internalz to change the look of a few apps to suit my taste and this time I was looking into completely changing the messaging app to have more of a look and fell of Get Answers. See below......
getanswers_2010-11-11_080541.png

From what I can tell they are just inline block displays like facebook comments and so on. I'm not concerned with the placement of the names and the current avatar setup on the original message app is fine, I was wondering if we can get this look including the transparency of the blocks. I would attempt but don't even know where to begin due to only having Internalz to play with. It seems that the line of code that states for an image URL can be changed to just use blocking could work, but what do I know, just an amateur.....

Thanks for any insight

Good to see a fresh idea. Tired of everyone wanting to make it look just like the iPhone.

I like that idea! If I wasn't so busy theming the Forums Beta app, I'd poke around a bit... I'm sure someone will stop in and help though

I'm a patient guy, besides I've been waiting for that specific project as well ... Forums Beta can use some color as well.

It's pretty much finished. I'm just taking care of a few small issues and streamlining things. Once I'm done, I'll need to contact the Dev and see what I can do about distribution.

Yes they are; however only around 10% or so..... Still nice without coding and I'm sure there is a line of code to give images some opacity .... Thanks again

opacity:0.6;

(opacity:x) x can be a value from 0.0 - 1.0. A lower value makes the element more transparent.


This is the code you need
