Hi !
Is there a way to have Adium work as a daemon, like the iChat Agent ? I'd like Adium to be invisible (except for the menu extra), and appear only when I'm receiving a message.
Is that possible, or should I switch to Proteus (I think ProteusMenu can do it) ?

Thanks in advance

I'm not quite sure what you mean by invisible. iChat, like Adium, is an application and the only visible elements when not chatting is the buddy list, which can be closed, and it's Dock icon (plus the menubar extra if you choose).

If you just want to get rid of Adium's contact list then go into Adium, click the Window menu and select Contact List to show or hide it.

The only thing you'll see then is the Dock icon or you can elect to have it notify you in various ways.

I don't know if Adium has a menubar extra...

What I meant is : iChat works on top of an iChat Agent, so even if the actual Ichat app is not running, the Agent is listening for messages and launch iChat when necessary. That's the kind of feature I was looking for in Adium.
Anyway I've just tried Proteus a bit, and found that it's great for what I want to do.

Adium has it's own set of forums, in which you can more directly address the adium community and the people who create it. IOW, you can make a feature request. www.adiumx.com is the place to start, the first news article has the address of the forums.
