@kmccormi

ahh thanks, i didnt visit that site for 3 months and theres already a new section IEView, crazy :)

#260830

mine doesn't work too.. just like Little_Tiger.. can somebody post the exact Steps. pls.

#260869

i don't want to make assumptions or believe in stereotypes, but if you take a look at the people who can't get this to work or who want a concise tutorial written up specially for them, you'll notice that they are primarily junior members.

we do not tolerate sloth here ... how lazy must one really be to whine about a little reading and a little scrolling? read the ENTIRE thread before posting problems or requests.

with that said, for those who can't get it to work (i.e. Little_Tiger and desino1) read through the thread thoroughly and make sure you have the latest versions of EVERYTHING - the miranda client itself, ieview, and tabsrmm. It might be easiest/ best also to wipe your HD of your miranda files and start with a clean install. that way you can be sure the files you install are the most recent.

But didn't the first thread say to download Miranda 0.4 RC2 specifically. If thats the problem, then, let me try on the latest ver.

#260918

wow its working, im going nuts !!!!!

#260926

This is turning out to be pretty cool, cool enough to make me come back from lurking!

Great work, I won't have time to even apply any of this to my computer for a week but I may be able to help some when I get some time.

#260941

Wow, now I want that theme for adium, Jim :confused:

Adium uses the gecko-engine, right? I see what I can do...

Super yummy Jim, will you consider adding avatars to your skin?

#260942

Bah it's beautiful! Do tell me - you used tables or divs? And how did you align avatars? You know we have a huge problem with aligning avatar placed in div to bottom....all known techniques failed so far >.

#260943

Adium doesn't use the Gecko engine, it uses webkit (safari) which is KHTML.

#260957

is there any way to change the font that shows up from you on your contacts ims? it always shows up as times new roman

#260963

I used div's

Here is a small example, how I achieved it:

avatar-example.gif

avatar

text


body {

margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;

padding:8px 8px 8px 8px;

}

#green {

margin:0px 0px 8px 0px;

padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

width:auto;

background-color:#FFFFFF;

border: 1px solid #1ADE1A;

}

#red {

margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

width: 40px;

border: 1px solid #FF0000;

float: left;

}

#blue {

margin: 0px 0px 0px 43px;

padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

width: auto;

word-wrap: break-word;

}

#fix {

line-height: 0px;

clear: both;

}

#260974

where do you get these animated emoticons from ??

take a look here

EDIT

Awesome news, russellc just released a port of Satin for IEView, which is pretty bad ass. Check it: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&t=291885

WOW! That rocks! Thanks!

@Blade

thanks ! but how do i select them in the dialog (when i do a :,) it works) ? the smiley button doesnt react to any mouse clicks.

#261023

@jim_phelps

I use the same code for our bubbles.

do you know a way to align the avatars to bottom? (like in real iChat?)

First I'm not a ****ie on this or anything (I'm using adium x )...and I used Miranda most of the times...you have to tell me why can I get it to work with Fiat ..and not anything else???

thanks

I think I found another solution.

With a little bit luck, tomorrow I can present you a full working iChat-template with avatars at the bottom & grouping, completly solved with divs.

But tonight it's partytime :)

Well i have to admit i have this problem as well. The smiley in the toolbar doesn't display the smiley menu. However, if one types out =) you can see the animated gif smiley (great work too ). Its not such a big deal, but besides this little thing my miranda works beautifully. Any idea what might be causing this?

aworldapart :)

#261211

@pichfl

hmm, i really don't know which technique you use...

But normally i would say for the CSS: Create a Container Div, place the image in there... Via css call it vice ID and give it {... valign: bottom;} Normally this forces the image to be placved on the bottom of the div...

Perhaps that helped a bit

That won't work...valign is not CSS... :slant:

Have you tried bottom:0;?

#261214

	position:absolute;

	bottom:0;

tried that? works fine for me in my preview, but i have no working code to test it with... :(

#261281

Prism, you're a genius! Don't know how come we didn't think of that, but thanks. I'll try and get together with pichfl and finish this code off.

#261295

thanks :D

i've had that code since march 2nd... i thought i already sent it to you? or was that the old version? and/or another person... lol

#261299

EDIT: nevermind!!!!!!!!!!! i figured it out ! it requires you to edit the CSS file ..thanks anyway ... pe8er and magnus for the wonderful work!

Care to share with us the actual EDIT in the CSS file?

Thanks :)

@Meat

Hey dru, well i kept adding, to the avatars folder, 56 x 56 jpg named exactly as you would see my contacts, and kept getting the same running man AIM icon in the message window. So i started to play with the CSS file ( i have some prior html experience ) and got it to show my buddies icons but only briefly. It turns out i was just screwing things up more....so i was mistaken and i'm back to the square 1.

I got a question like this earlier. It turned out i was just making things worse :P

Everything works fine now just follow the instructions layed out here. Have the updated versions of all the required components. Then just add 56 x 56 jpgs of your buddies icons (or any image for that matter ) to your avatars folder. Then go to the toolbar in the message window and click the avatar options button (picture shows a mans from the torso up!) , then click "load a local picture as avatar" .

that should be it man! you'll see a picture whenever your buddies IM you. That simple.

hope that helps ..later man :)
