status changes dont show for msn i dont think

@russelc

Thanks alot for the update I like the minimal style... the skin i was refering to was this one though

the skin:

#261030

Actually it's possible, PNG + Gradient in IE:

#261035

i have make a fresh install

i have tabSRmsg version 0.9.9.7

IEview version 1.0.1.7

still have the same bug on grouping message...

even if i put a lot of characters

#261044

Well, I also seem to have 2 bugs... I got latest TabSRMM and IEview (downloaded 10mins ago), clean miranda, and clean OS.

The problem is, the chat area doesnt seem to display messages until refresh it manually (move the typing area bar, the chat area scrollbar, or move the container itself.)

2nd. thing is that little smiley icon, floating at middle bottom of the chat area.

..strange stuff.

#261094

in the new ieview there is an option to switch of smileys even if only temp solution as stated. check that.

i am using satin too and have no probs i have no idea whats wrong.

disable the plugin called Smileyadd

@karma.police: how are you enabling transparency? the scripts that i have searched up on google require you to state a set width and height..which i cannot do with background images with css

still don't work

#261139

I read the documentation @ MSDN

BTW the background is a filter too.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <title>test</title>
</head>
<body style="background: #0cd; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, StartColorStr='#eeeeee', EndColorStr='#cccccc')">

<DIV ID="myDiv" 
	STYLE="position:relative; 
	height:154px; 
	width:100%;
	filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='Untitled-1.png',sizingMethod='scale');"> 

</DIV>

</body>
</html>

The key is on sizing method, with one image looks weird but if you slice it in a good way you wont have problems. You have to slice like the attachment (the inner too) to prevent that horrible stretching (see screenshot too).

#261142

I still can't see the status changes

What should I do more than this check?

#261154

that also needs to be checked

@karma_police: i will check that out...i hope that works for table elements too..

#261194

disable the plugin called Smileyadd

Thanks, worked like a charm.

#261201

WOW THANKS! :cool:

#261206

yeah, it seems that transparent background PNGs are only available using DIVs..not really feeling like re-coding the entire thing..

the skin:

Please someone make a port 1:1 of that Adium style .... it is awesome

#261227

I'll give it a try now that updating Satin is more a lower priority

EDIT: I'll be recoding it so PNGs will be transparent unlike the Satin port

#261229

awesome great to hear. Let me know if you need any help with anything as far as graphics/images go. Good Luck

#261232

TBH, this is impossible. A 1:1 port from the Gecko engine to the IE engine is virtually not possible unless the functionality of a conversation log is 100% lost. It will look completely wrong once dynamic content is placed in there. The code found by karma_police requires a set width and height of a DIV. In Internet Explorer, DIVs cannot have a set percentage height. DIVs will not change height according to whatever container it is in (if set at 100% height). Not only does that start giving visual problems, I can't even find a way to put the avatar in the right place (I was using a mix of tables and DIVs). The avatar would be spaced from the left and bottom too much.

Unless you all wouldn't mind having a solid colour background like Satin, it can't be done (afaik). Its a shame Microsoft hasnt updating Internet Explorer at all..

So here's my question: Do you all mind if the background is only a solid colour? No gradients in the background will be possible (unless functionality is lossed or I waste lots, and i mean lots, of time trying to fix it). I really do want to port this template for everyone...So, just tell me if not having a gradient or multicoloured background is okay

#261255

Very nice theme--and I can appreciate the hard work going into coding it now that I'm working on one of my own (with a few other people).

Great job!

#261257

@russellc: I wouldn't mind having a solid colour background. Satin looks pretty good even with a solid background. So if you can give it a go, it would be really nice. I'm looking forward to this theme. Thanks for all the hard work mate

You can use the filter width divs, tables, etc. A 1:1 port is possible.

I did a simple test, actually the MSDN documentation states that you can apply the filter to any ELEMENT.

#261285

No problem, Im trying to do my own template.

My test was:


#test{
width: 20px;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='images/left-inner.png',sizingMethod='scale');
}

If you need help just ask
