This is a request I made at the MacThemes forum but I figured that I'd post the same thread here because I'd really like this, and I'm sure many people would like this theme.

"I'd reeeeaaaallly like a message style for Adium that looks something like this:



But where the background uses the blur thingy that someone made possible for terminal.
Like this:


Thanks !

ps. I don't like the darker transparent that's behind the text in the theme I'm using. So I'm talking of just the blurry background with text, nothing else (except display name and picture)"

MacThemes / [Request] Adium "black-blurry-background" message style if ya wanna read what has been commented

Contact list:

Color Theme: HUD (Adium - Xtras - View Xtra: HUD)
List Layout: Overture 1928 (Adium - Xtras - View Xtra: Overture 1928)

Window style: Group bubbles
Opacity: 60% (you can adjust to fit your needs)

Note: I don't remember if I made any adjustments to the "color theme" or "list layout" as you can customize them further than just applying them.

Message style:

Message Style: Ethereal (Adium - Xtras - View Xtra: Ethereal)
Variant: Smoke (Scrollbar)

I checked the "use custom background" box and chose black color and then you can adjust the opacity in the small window that appears to suite your needs (I use 50% opacity)

Enjoy !
