I wonder… This works for a single window? I’m looking for something to make sure I don’t confuse chat windows so I don’t mix conversations.

El Topo: copy the last line, and change “*pidgin_conv_entry” to “*list*”

the list on the left should be affected now — works for the buddy list at least (:

Great tip, but I wonder how I make the same modification to the right userlist window in irc chat?
