Yeah it ruined my Friday.

Thanks guys.

With open source IM clients such as aMSN and dMSN does that help speed up development with interesting code snippets that could help you add features like avatars (like in MSN 6 for PC)?

[proton]

aMSN is written in TCL, not C/C++/Objective C.
dMSN is written in Java, not C/C++/Objective C.

Don't worry, this stuff is coming to libgaim (and hence Adium and Proteus), it's not a problem of knowing how to implement it, it's a problem of it just not being done yet.

Thanks for clarifying that, it's nice to see to many quality IM clients all of the sudden!

[jokell82]

So the devs have talked about a new contact list window for a while now, with the status circle replacements, service icons, away messages, user icons, etc. This is the only thing I want updated in Adium, everything else is secondary to me... I'm just hoping it's sooner rather than later.

And if I could I'd do it myself....too bad I can't.

How did you get the color status circles?

Not sure; Adam's apparently working on it right now. It was posted on the Adium message board; it will probably be available soon, but there was no timeline given.

[Stradlater]

Those color circles will be available when Adam Iser finishes the new contact list code. There is a similar hack you can find here, though:

1. Patch: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index...07&atid=518088
2. Instructions: http://www.funmac.com/showthread.php?t=6881

Looks nice.

I like the simple "oblong" look though. ESP with transparent backgrounds.

For you MSN freaks

Just something to give you alittle hope that it's coming. (I'm speaking of File Transfer and Contact Icons or whatever they're called) A/V for Gaim is currently under a branch, but progress has been made on Yahoo, MSN, and AIM A/V chats.

Edit: Yeah... probably should've checked to make sure there were no /x00 chars in there...

Wanna try again? I'll give you a chance.

We will pretend you never posted that embarrassment of a "comeback"

I will even edit this post to get rid of the evidence.

[B]Yeah I love the transparent GUI options.

BTW, I like the "Smooth Operator" style but I wish there was a way to get rid of the icons.

I agree 100%. I wish there were a separate option to not to show icons for all message styles.

I have a version of Smooth Op that is iconless. I can upload it if you want it.

the menu extra is kinda useless, though..

Yeah.. it has options already in the menu.. except "bring to front"

[Krypton]

Originally posted by Zimphire:

Well I doubt whether it shall be useless for long - I imagine they wanted to get it back as soon as possible.

Well, wish no more. It's in CVS (unfinished at this point)

This next update should take awhile.

New additions to CVS:
MetaContacts
New Contact List
AppleScript-ability (Not the current text insertion thing, it's full blown access to most features of the App)
And Rendezvous will start being bundled as a disabled Plugin. (like Growl is now)

.64 is going to be a very big milestone for Adium, it seems. I, for one, am very excited.

What do you mean by that? Will there be a long wait before .64 is released..?

[gorickey]

Probably a little longer then normal; however, well worth the wait it seems...

[Horsepoo!!!]

I'm enjoying buddy picts in the contact list and meta-contacts right this instant!

[Earth Mk. II]

heh, the new CL and meta-contacts are so broken right now it's not even funny.

but if you wanna use 'em, it's your call.
