2. Click the "Skin" drop down menu and select a skin.

To change the skin in Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta:

We're always looking for ways to make Messenger more useful to our customers, and we'll be sure to keep your concern in mind as we continue to make improvements to our service. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
