Hi there, i've got some new questions..

First off, take a look at my screenshot :

mirandahelp5br.png

You can see the following :

* My options button (i just edited it for my needs, i had/have the same problem with the original png) isn't fully visible. That's because i can't scale my miranda window! I have everything NOT checked if it says 'locked' in the options.. So i really can't see why i can't scale my window. Any help on that?

* My hide online/offline contacts button (adium duck on the left) is only 50% opaque or something. I replaced it with my own png, that is 100% filled in photoshop. I looked in .msf file of Niqu but i can't find anything with opacity of some sort. I basically need a 'fix' that, in which setting you want (hide online or hide offline), those are both 100% filled. Any help on that?

So those are my two questions.. :) Help appreciated!

As far as the options button goes, switch to a different theme where you can actually drag the window and change its size. Then switch back to your theme.

#2:

$BTNonlinenorm=sGlyph,Image,BtnOnOf.png,StretchBoth,0,0,0,0,100

Have you tried changing that 100 to 255??

#373884

Yes i did that, and it didn't work. The default png is still 50% opaque..

I'll try that first thing with the scaling trick thanks

edit ||Yeah! That change the skin first trick did it! Thanks!

edit 2 || Hey, yesterday that 255 didn't work, but today (when my pc has restarted) it's all fixed! Thanks :)

Ok! Two other questions :D

1) My statusbar keeps coming back, everything i load up miranda. No matter how many times i uncheck all possible options about the statusbar, it keeps showing up..

2) Is there a way to remove the scrollbar in the chat window?

2) Is there a way to remove the scrollbar in the chat window?

Options, Contacts, Check "Hide Verical Scrollbar"

Options, Contacts, Check "Hide Verical Scrollbar"

No, that's for the contact list. I mean the scrollbar displayed in my chat window (tabsrmm)

#374023

@ fliz: you can't remove that scrollbar, why would you want to? And if you follow my instructions about hiding the status bar, I believe they work, at least they do for me.

#374028

I have an IEview question, maybe someone else has this bug?

I can't change the font on the ieview chat window except when I change visual styles. Then it uses the font from the visual style..weird, huh?

I can change the list font to whatever I like..

I THINK you have to go to the CSS file and change the fonts.

#375093

You do...sometimes it's actually in the ivt file...what I do is just go through and find all the instances of Arial or Tahoma (or whatever the stupid default font is) and replace it with HandelGotD or Lucida or whatever I feel like at the moment. Completely harmless and easy enough to reverse :)

Awesome tutorial, now I'll have to switch to miranda.

ok,that's a simple fix but it should be able to be changed in options/message sessions/fonts and colors, yes?..

blah i cant find clist_modern in plugins option but its in the folder

NO, actually no. You have to edit the IVT or CSS file, ite depends on where it is defined.

Download latest build, replace everything in your miranda folder, and it should show up.

#375180

um just wondering- is audio and video chat allowed in miranda? im still keeping my trillian pro for these features- any plugins needed?

#375182

No, it's not supported i belive.

#375184

There is no capability for audio/video chat, and none currently being worked on that I know of.

#375239

Hey Poppe, here i'm back with another question :)

Is it possible to get, by default, all the text in the contact list in capitals?

FRIENDS

instead of

Friends

?

Agh thanks that fixed it, now if I just knew how to add & edit timestamps.

Oh and i was wondering how I could go from that to this http://www.deviantart.com/view/30219552/

#375280

the bg color must be edited in the .css file, change everything that says #e1e2e6 to #FFFFF, backup just in case.

#375303

I checked the css folder and looked at all the files but I cant find #e1e2e6 in any of them btw i fixed the other problems.

Edit - i fixed the color now to make it transparent

Hi, how did you made your container look like that screenshot of yours?

#377884

@jnco: to whom are you referring? most of the people in this thread are following the walkthrough in the first post.

#378031

When I downloaded the modern contact list plugin, there are two files. Which one do I place in teh plugins folder? Or do I place both?
