MirandaIM is Killing Me!

MirandaIM is killing me! I see all the cool mods and skins and whenever I try them its just no go. I have made a post before in regard’s to this and I think the person who linked me to a tutorial but it simply did not answer anything.

I have installed MirandaIM using the official installer and installed ‘ieview’ and ‘tabsmm’ plugins, I did not really change any of the settings. Now I am trying to use this skin called "Crystal Port 1.0" ( http://www.miranda-im.org/download/details...iewfile&id=1992 ); I extracted it and looking at the README file and the installation instructions dont make any sense to me.

How to install it

------------------

From smooth operator readme, I hope russellc doesn't mind :P

| How do I install this? (assuming you have IEView set up properly)

| 1) Extract the files using 7zip, Winrar, or XP's built in ZIP support

| (anything that can extract .ZIPs properly will do) to any folder

| > It is -recommended- to extract in the Miranda folder.

| 2) Go to the IEView options and go to the Templates tab.

| 3) Browse (...) for the folder BigIcons that you should have remembered

| and double click the desired .ivt file (in Crystal folder).

| 4) Hit Apply and start chatting!

NOTE: To see your avatar just replace the included myavatar.png

It says to basically open the Templates tab in the Options under IEView plugin section, browse to the skins folder and select any .ivt file. When I go there and put a check next to "Use template-based HTML builder" and browse for the theme leaving the RTL template one blank (what is that even?) and click Apply the Instant Message window does not change.

What am I doing wrong and what am I suppose to do?! Oh, and where to I do I get clist_nice?

first the changes aren't immediate who in the world said that. you have to activate support for 3rd party plugin check then uncheck if you want to refresh well i do that..

Well I dont know if they are immediate or not, I simply followed the readme and nothing has happened. You mean I have to go to the plugins menu in the Options and diselect and select IEView again or I am just not getting you?

go on the templates tab, and in the first box, find crystal.ivt.

Now go to the first tab, Basics. Check "use external CSS" and in the first box, find a css from crystal that you like.

Now close all your message windows, and open them again. oh and go to message window section and go to the last tab, message log. Make sure "activate support for external log" is checked.

well done looks great :)

hey wait a second what you mean YOU got another one... you didn't make anything sound simple at all. you were probably the same guy that wrote the instructions on how to setup the ieview theme

#281899

All I did was tell him to check "external log"
