This is a background I created for Pidgin. I use a dark gtk theme and pidgin wasnt really blending into the whole schema of my desktop.
Credits:
I used the beautiful pidgin icons created by openartist

Install Instructions and gtkrc file neatly copied from
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Pidgin+Wallpaper+with+Fedora-Logo+small?content=64877
How to install:
1. Unpack the zip-file contents to your home directory
2. Press Ctrl + h if you don't see the hidden files.
3. Open .gtkrc-2.0 file (Create one if you dont find it. Please remember its a hidden file (.))
4. Copy and Paste the below line
[quote]
include ".gtkrc-pidgin"
[/quote]
into the .gtkrc-2.0 file
5 restart Pidgin and you should see the new background :)
If you don't like the changes just put an # before the include line. That should invalidate the code. Restart pidgin and you are now back to normal

Edit:
Adjust the pidgin window to fit the background...It doesnt really look good when the background tiles. Also I dont know how to make the background scroll when your friend's list is long. :(
Edit 2.0:
Moved gtkrc to a separate file to make it easier for people to undo changes
