Miranda Skinning Guide

Thanks Ppoppe for the guide. I have a strange problem with the timestamps. I tried changing in "incoming timestamps" and "outgoing timestamps". Both fonts are set to Arial.But, I get all garbage/ strange ASCII characters for the timestamps in the IEVIew window.

@kiran: what language are you running in? Do you have some sort of strange interpretation problem perhaps? If not, I have no earthly idea what could be wrong....

@blaze: mebbe try options -> message sessions -> messaging, at the top is an option called "automatically pop up window"....

#365470

and one more question..

i don't want my message sessions to be in tabs, how can i fix that?

#365472

options -> message sessions -> messaging, "use tabbed mode"

#365474

Wait, I don't see it at all.

#365482

sorry, I had forgotten I switched messaging plugins. I use Scriver, which has the options I was quoting. Try these:

options -> message sessions-> message windows -> tabs and layout = "automatically pop up"

options -> message sessions-> message windows -> containers = "use single window mode"

These things really aren't all that hard to find, just poke around in the options for yourself and you'd stumble across 'em sooner or later...

#365487

Thanks a lot!

Edit:

Okay okay, this will be my last question. sorry for not posting it all in one (problems just kept arising)

@kiran: what language are you running in? Do you have some sort of strange interpretation problem perhaps? If not, I have no earthly idea what could be wrong....

Language is English (United States). Date format in control panel is set to hh:mm:ss tt :(

@blaze: if you don't want it to say that at the top, use a different skin, or hack the html, that's the only option I know of

@kiran: sorry, I am fresh out of suggestions...

I have a little problem with miranda in general. When i have a chat session minimized and i click it to open it again it fades away and clicking the taskbar doesn't help bringing my chat window back. I have to use rightmousebutton and choose maximize. I have this lots btw.. Is this normal?

#365652

What other programs do you have running? (like RKLauncher or Objectbar or Objectdock). What plugins are you using (ieview, etc)?

#365690

I'm having some problems.. the ieview is not showing up on the list where where i'm supoosed to enable it

#365862

which list? where did you install it? Are you sure the ieview.dll file wound up in the plugins directory?

#365866

Thank you soo much for this wonderful guide!! I could never get Miranda to look the way I wanted. I just seem to have one problem. I cant seem to get rid off the status of MSN and AIM on the bottom. The scroll bar looks a little off as a result as well. I know it must be something I did wrong, I'm just not sure what.

EDIT: in fact I wouldnt mind getting rid of the scrollbar all together

I also noticed that I couldnt complete one of the steps in step 4

For some reason I could not uncheck "collapsed" because it would not allow to select it. It was faded out in the menu. I'm not sure if this is the cause or not.

I got everything else done but i can't seem to do the collapse thing too

#365891

What other programs do you have running? (like RKLauncher or Objectbar or Objectdock). What plugins are you using (ieview, etc)?

RK Launcher, avetunes, avedesk in general, ultra_modern skin for miranda, smoothoperator ieview plugin for miranda.

#365894

@bmn: the status bar may also disappear if you just select "visible" but unselect "show status bar." That way, doesn't matter if it's collapsed or not.

@fliz: not sure what the issue might be...do you have RKLauncher set so programs minimize to it? I don't know why that would make a difference, all I know is that I have never had that problem, so I don't have any idea how to fix it.

#365946

Naah.. It's not RK Launcher.. Hmm, strange problem :( Ah well, gonna have to learn to live with it

#365951

How do i see other people profiles? tried right clicking and selecting show profile but it just takes me to wa webpage saying "the requested url was not found on this server"

#366190

I don't think it works in the current version of the AIM protocol...

#366192

OK, I started to follow this tutorial, I did all the install steps, but the one problem I had was that clistmodern came with 2 versions, a unicode, and a something else I cant remember that starts with an A version.

so which one do I use?

When I used the unicode version I Got this error message when I went to the Options --> Plugins:

And when I use the clistmoderna version I get the error when first starting miranda, and again when I got to the plugins.

what am I doing wrong?

#367127

I would try reinstalling Miranda. You need that dll for anything in Miranda to work, not just the contact list plugins.

#367151

I completely uninstall and remove the Miranda folder before making every new attempt.

and the dll woks everytime until I put in either one of the clistmodern files.

only thing i dont do between installs is clear the registry, but considering it works as long as I dont have the modern contact list in I wouldn't think thats necessary.

EDIT: I downloaded the dll, and it doesn't show the error now.

however the clistmodern.dll doesn't show up in the list of plugins, so I cant click on it.

even though I clearly extracted it into plugins, and can see the file in there.

#367164

Try using this version of clist_modern and see if it helps any:

#367341

no makes no difference.

what should I be using, the ansi or the unicode version? i used unicode most of the time, but also tried ansi.
