If you like chatting but hate the boring, mundane chat displays of most chat clients, take a look at Proteus 4 and maybe these themes found on the Proteus Extras page.
FF9
FF7
Monkey Island
Pushpin

Yes I know...I saw you ask some people on the Adium forums for a custom Smooth Operator theme with the buddy pictures removed. Good for you. You've moved away from that dreadful Fire program.
That Smooth Operator theme does look nice though...really clean.

Oh, I still think Fire is good. I just think Adium NOW is better. If Fire improves later on to get ahead of Adium, I'll be using that. I don't have any emotional attachments to software. Ahem.
I've just never liked Proteus. I dislike the GUI, and it has always been buggy on my computers. That, and the other options are FREE.

Indeed.

Although I am intrigued by the myriad of message view options available in Proteus, I tend to like Adium more for its interface, cost, and size.

Same here, the interface is what sold me.

I think Adium is up there. The "Smooth Operator" in Adium feels a lot more polished than in Proteus.

Whens the last time you used Adium?
The potential is there.
I wouldn't want gaudy themes like above.

WebKit is WebKit, there's not much of a difference in what's possible... and Adium's not done working out all the kinks in what they want to allow.
The theme community for Proteus wants those themes, and from what I've seen and heard, the Adium community doesn't.

Proteus 4 already offers simple webkit themes as default. But new and more original ones are coming out. It's the best of both worlds, I think.
The thing that bothers me with Adium is that everyone is just taking the Smooth Operator theme and changing it slightly (background picture or removing buddy pictures) and calling it a brand new theme. There's very little originality on the Adium front when it comes to webkit themes.

I don't think anyone is calling it a brand new theme. I believe that option will be in the new version. the one people are using now is just temp I believe.

If originality = sucky themes like that above. Proteus can keep them. There are TONS of options in Adium when it comes to this. None that tacky.
Plus Adium GUI is far more customizable than Proteus's. And it's free.

AFAICT, Proteus has almost all of Adium's good themes + more.
Haha...yeah, that Pushpin theme is pretty 'tacky'. LOL. You got a sense of humor Zimphy.
The really good Proteus themes, IMO, are:
White Bubbling
Smooth Operator
Synapse
Renaissance
The novelty themes are:
Pushpin
Monkey Island
And the theme based on actual game graphics are:
FF7
FF9
Tell me, Zimphy, what good themes does Adium have?
I'd try to take another look but the Adium forums and the Xtras page are down.

I am speaking of the GUI itself. The contact list. Proteus isn't nearly as customizable. Even in this thread.
http://www.proteusx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4857
You have a Proteus user whining about how Proteus "Is just as cool"
But there are TONS of things I can do with Adium's GUI that I couldn't with Proteus. That is the very reason I switched over to it, and dropped Fire.
Haha...yeah, that Pushpin theme is pretty 'tacky'. LOL. You got a sense of humor Zimphy.
Tell me, Zimphy, what good themes does Adium have?
Well it has Smooth Operator (Originally before Proteus) And a TON of other "simple" TASTEFUL options a long with it. There are also people as we speak making more. And guess what! I don't have to pay a dime. Not that it matters how many "GUI kits" Adium has. More doesn't = Better. Esp when the ones I have seen really stink for Proteus.
Proteus has more "GUI KITS" but most are ugly. Adium has the ability to make any GUI kit it wants to. AND the actual chat list is more customizable.

Whoa there...you've got priorities all wrong. Proteus is much more customizable when it comes to *useful* features. You can show or hide buddy pictures from the contact list, show or hide status text, show or hide groups, show or hide offline users, show or hide status icon, show or hide service icon.
I couldn't care less about hiding the actual window and having transparent backgrounds with rounded edged contact listings so that it looks like they're magically floating in thin air on my screen.

the reason proteus has "ugly" message themes is because they are made by the people who use them. they made it for their personal use. the author just decided to share it with the community. some of the authors aren't professionals, so their work might not agree with your classy taste.

That isn't customizable. That's just showing and hiding.

Well see, I do care. And that is what sold me, and many other people to Adium. Simple, out of the way layout. That is why I switched. Proteus doesn't have this. And if it were to TRY to, it would look like a total copy of Adium. And it would be embarrassing for them.

Nope, not all software. Proteus isn't worth my money.

Thankfully, I don't think the Proteus developer wants to add such as gaudy, tasteless feature.

Are you crying because you have been defeated? **** happens.
That said...Proteus also offers typing notifications. So I'm not too sure why ender is saying that Smooth Operator is better in Adium than Proteus.

Look, it is a waste of time to try and prove each other wrong. You each have your own preferences and you will still to them. You will use the program that you mostly see fit to your needs and your opinion.
Talking s**t to the other person won't change that persons opinion of the application that they use. Use what you like and let it be.

Haha...that won't work with Zimphy. You're wasting *your* time. Anyways...I've grown used to Zimphy thread-crapping.
I post something about Proteus and he stop himself from posting something about Fire or, now, Adium.
This thread was about moving away from simple and normal themes. I was showing interesting themes and Zimphire had to derail the thread into an interface war (which is purely opinions like you said).
Anyways...I hope some of these themes sparked some people's interest with these themes (obviously not everyone because there are people that like simpler themes)

What does that have to do with my post?

Horsepoo!!! I wasn't the one that that was such a Proteus shill and COULDN'T stand the thought of someone using something else other than it. First you gave me hell for being a Fire user. Now you are giving me hell for being a Adium user.
Get it through your skull, some people just don't like Proteus. And don't think it's worth the money.

Read my first post genius. I said nothing about Adium. I just said I like SIMPLER themes. I posted a theme that comes with BOTH clients. YOU were the one that started the comparison. The post right below mine.

You always do this. YOU were the one to bring up Adium. And you STILL can't let go about me using Fire still to this day. Why do you care what others use?
I can bring up paste threads of you doing this over the past 2 years if you'd like.

I for one would like to see cleaner, simpler, tighter themes brought to Proteus myself.. Being in a work environment it is more 'professional' when a message pops-up and your boss happens to be in your office at the same time.. Thank goodness he isn't in here right now for this post

I am not trying to change Horsepoo's opinion. He seems insistent on changing mine though. Even when I used Fire. I could care less what he uses.

I have grown fond of the first iChat look-alike messageview for Proteus there was. Not the one you can download on the Extras site but one from the forums.
I chose Proteus after having tried Adium which was so dull imho. I want and need eyecandy :LOL: And Proteus gives me that aswell as giving me other options in a presentable manner. I kinda flamed Proteus earlier.. oh well.

I find Adium and Proteus pretty much on par, but I use Proteus because it's a bit less cutesy than Adium (I hate the stupid squawking bird icon) and has a cleaner UI. Both of them have the same annoying URL wrapping problem from webkit that pisses me off though.

I just keep going back to Proteus, it works fine and I don't need to dig down a million thigns to set it up. Adium is powerful, but it never feels quite solid enough, despite all the config variations.

I have to agree. I have just bought Proteus because Adium was giving me some problems and I have had none with Proteus. Also, though this is nothing but my most humble opinion, I find it cleaner; albeit I must admit it lacks many of the customization options that Adium has.
In the end, it all just comes down to your own liking. Try them both, and see which one suits you best!
Regards.
Tara.

Sorry, but I find Proteus's UI to be so much more annoying and distracting than Adium's... Care to elaborate?

Frankly, I think Proteus is the IM that best follows Apple HIG. Not that Apple's HIG is the end all but the developers have really put some thought into it. Menus are simple and clean. Preferences are simple and clean. Toolbars.
Proteus is very customizable...has always been. I can see how the default might be annoying and distracting to some, but you can make as simple or as distracting as you want.

Y'know, both Proteus and Adium are equally usable and
stylish. I had used Adium on and off for the past while
and I was never really taken by it.
I popped Proteus onto my system, and it has stuck...
It's very similar in features, although the lack of that
transparent window feature is unfortunate.
I just found that Proteus gets run more often than I
ever ran Adium... something about the style in it
that kept me interested I suppose. Also, I'm a
sucker for anything that has a FF3 chat theme. ^^
Both good apps, sometimes it's that first time you
run it that influences your decision.

Is there a place on MacNN where you don't post? I'd like to post there so that you won't be around to derail it. Stop talking about things other than message views or I'm telling your mommy on you.

Hi, COBRAHQ!
I don't know if this exactly what you want, but you can make the buddy list transparent (preferences-->Interface-->Use custom colors) - Don't know if it will help�

The main things I love about adium are the tabs and contact list. The tabs are SO convenient... Having all my messages within one window, and being able to navigate them using the keyboard. I often try to use the adium keyboard commands when I have a bunch of tabs in safari, and I'm reminded how useful adium's tabs are each time. And the contact list is just great... You can make it so minimalistic, and it'll match any theme, and any desktop picture. And according to Apple's spelling dictionary, minimalistic isn't a word. WTF iz ^ w/ tht?

Holy crap you're right... why didn't I notice that before!
Well then... aside from the window being visible... I'm now fully content with
Proteus.
thank you thank you

Im not too sure... I remember seeing somewhere talk about how the selection gradient on the contact list is only to be used when selecting folders and volumes. Maybe I dont know much about Proteus but I havent been able to customize the contact list much. I cant move around groups as I can in Adium, I cant make it any smaller, etc. I have a lot of buddies so it would be useful to be able to do this kind of thing.

Actually yeah...that's a big no-no on the developer's part. Selection gradient should be used for source lists only. Source lists have items that, when selected, change the content of the pane. It's used correctly in the Message Center's drawer in Proteus since it clicking on a contact changes the context of the Message Center window but it's used incorrectly in the Contact list window since clicking on a contact doesn't change anything.
The Finder's sidebar is a source list. The iTunes libraries/playlists are sources. Safari's bookmark collections are sources. Mail's drawer should technically be a source list but not all Apple apps are updated equally.
If you hide the contact picture and change the font size for the contact list, you can make it pretty small...not as small as Adium lets you though.

Other people weren't just talking about message views Horsepoo. You filling the thread with crybabying doesn't help the derailing.

Ya, thats what I thought.
Oh, yeah. I see that now. Cool, but sorry, Im still sticking with Adium because Im too lazy to put in all of my aliases again. If I find a cool message view though, I might switch.

Any message view that works in Proteus should work in Adium as well. They both use webkit.
