Description It's the NEW ichat-theme for Miranda IM.

Fits to a Leopard Visual Style

inspirated by the original ichat: [link]

inspired by [link]

I've added the ichat Style Icons. They are transparent so it looks more like the original ichat on systemtray

Install:

- Install recent Version of Miranda

- download the plugin Modern CList Layerd here [link]

- unpack the archive of the Modern CList Layerd in the miranda folder

- unpack the RAR in the skinfolder of miranda

- Go to Customize-> Contact List Skin-> Choose the theme -> Apply

- Maybe you have to resize your mirande contact list, because the skin fits to on minimal size of the window

I think that's it.

If you have problems with the applying of the skin just comment and ask me

you have to download the "miranda image services" plugin and the "avatar service" plugin for miranda. Maybe the "Modern Clist"plugin should be installed too, try it.
Then you go to preferences->contactlist->content of contactdisplay (maybe it's spelled another way).
Ther you can choose the order of the elements. Change the other preferences on the other tabs like you need it.
Should work.

You have to download the clist_modern plugin for miranda. Then you go to Preferences->Customize->contactlist skin->search for the theme if you don't see it in the list-> click on apply... now it should work, but you have to set the width of the contactlistwindow so that the buttons and pictures fit, because it was designed for a definite width.

"buddy list" and "martin", those places don't use the skin's font for me, why is that?

Of course you can do this. You only have to go into the folder of the skin. There is an image iAvatar.png. You replace the image with one of yours with the same properties, but it must have the name iAvatar.png. After that you should see your picture in the upper left corner.

this is great, I'm using it right now

for the next release (if you plan on making one)
try making it more smooth, some of the lines extend past the border

mercury21 [2007-09-23 10:22:39 +0000 UTC]

I can understand your problem but the buttons have a minimum size and miranda couldn't scale these buttons automatically. Therefore you have to stretch your kontact-window till the buttons are at a acceptable place.

Thank you Terpfen for your advice.

Can you tell me where do you get those pictures? Is it a theme or a screenshot of the original Mac OS X Leopard? Maybe you can give me a link.
Thanks.

Apple's seeded a new version of Leopard in which they've updated the close/minimize/fit-to-screen buttons. Could you update the skin to match?

@K8ch

Version:
I think you will need a recent version of Miranda. I use Miranda 0.6.8 Unicode.

Plugins:
You will need the plugin "ClistModern" to install and use the theme - look here [link]

I think that should be it

Great theme, but your installation instructions could be clearer... or you could've just made a full theme instead of a mod.

Regardless, I love it. Faved.

Hi, very nice skin. I was going to try it, but it is not working for me... Are you sure, that it's for clist modern? There is not *.msf file...

You need to download the original iChat theme by boga (it's linked above) then overwrite boga's files with mercury21's files.
