in short: no.
it's only the style how the saved messages are shown on the phone.
the worst thing would be a black screen if an error is in one of the files but you can restore the backupped original files every time you want.
in short again: you can't screw up your system. ^^

the IM window is actually easier as this one beause you don't have to modify the js-file at all. (the avatar is already shown)
you only have to modify the html (veeeeeeeeeryyyyyyyyy simple). give it a try. open my modified file next to the orignal one and look at the differences. (:
the css is easy to modify as well. just check the differences and you'll see how easy this actually is.

np ^^

Is it possible to do the mod not only for SMS conversations but also for IM (i.e. Skype Chat)?
yes. just look at the discription above. ^^
(try it your self. it's not that hard. just play around with the files. you can't damage your phone. (remember to take a backup or you have to ask somebody to upload the files xD)

For making it look a little bit more shinyshiny, you think its possible to create something like speaking bubbles? maybe (colored) 3D shine effect?
of course it's possible. naba (the rtcom-member) mentioned that it's going to be fully themeable. with easy-to-do-themes-on-your-own. but i will take a look at what is possible right now if i have some freetime.

Anyone knows why it doesn´t work to put the modified files into
/home/user/.local/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html?

Putting the custom statusarea icons into
/home/user/.local/share/*
worked perfectly...
if you linked this folder correctly i haven't got a clue.
