Wonder why this wasn't listed at VersionTracker? Has a date of August 19 on it.

Not sure if it works with Jaguar or anything, I'm not at my mac to try out.

Oh wow it's working good under Jaguar so far...when I put on an away message...it doesn't crash!!! I hope everything else works out too!

Thanks for telling us about it, I can't believe it isnt on Versiontracker, but oh well.

They finally killed that stupid border and made the prefs more OS X like. Yes! (Now to go hack out the ads)

Glad to help. You're right, away messages work once again!

(finally came home

So I'll download it... and see. Thanks!

I still plan on switching to iChat, though.

Good luck trying to have a conversation in iChat w/o it crashing at least 3 times an hour. For some insane reason, it seems to crash more when you're chatting with someone who is using iChat. This is like a beta product that apple just threw out there...

how can we hack out the ads in this version?

We have to wait for that one company, I think their name is BlueBomber or something like that, to write their usual app to hack the ads out.

Shrug I have 40 people on my list using iChat, none of them are having this problem.

take it into a resource editor. That is what I did with the first one.

Has anyone ever gotten the custom sounds preference to work in AIM for OS X? I can only use the sounds in the the AIM package...

Anyone else notice that sometimes, you have to hit Return twice to send an IM? It doesn't happen all the time, but it seems to quite often. A little bit annoying. Oh well, Saturday...iChat...hopefully works good on my G4

i'm having that problem too. it seem like you have to wait a sec after typing to have the send button come up.

Hi guys,

I realize you all hate banners as much as I do, so I'm working on getting the patch finished. I'll have it completed by Friday afternoon at the very latest. Hopefully, I can have it ready a day or two before that, though.

I'll make a post here when it's out.

Thanks for the patience.

Is there any way you can make the tabs smaller similar to Adium? And it would be great if you put some space between tabs and titlebar window like say one or two pixels. I hate it when they touched each other like in previous AIM ads-remover patch

Thanks

If it were possible, I'd have done it about 2 patches ago.

Keep in mind that I'm only taking out a piece of AIM, not replacing it with something else. Even if it were possible, I'm not at all sure how to do it in hex...
