danbalsh Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Saw this today, looks very nice. http://www.proteusx.com/beta.php Works about the same as V3 for me :huh: the interface has totally changed though :D and has now adopted the 'bubble' look from iChat.

mac15 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Its proteus vs Adium now, they both use libgaim both have discovered webkit message view. I'm a big fan of Adium... notice my sig funmac.com :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmove Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 i like the new design Sounds promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtmcgee Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 looks good, but i'll stick with adium. open source is the way to go. plus, proteus takes up like half my screen with my contacts. the list is too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbero Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I actually paid for Proteus a while ago (but then switched over to Adium), so I'm gonna check it out. Thanks for the heads-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Can you do any File transfers on it? I only use AIM, and am quite happy with iChat, if it did FTP tho, i'd be interested... as with Adium, i hear that is to be implemented, any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNE Freak Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Yes, this version of Proteus does do file transfers on AIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbalsh Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 I wish it did them on MSN too, but I've been told it's planned for 4.5 sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambria Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 i used to use proteus exclusively until i switched to adium if v4 of proteus gets up to adiums level then i might consider witching back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2004 I tried it out, but it's rather slow. I'll use it when the speed's back, because Justin's implemented a LOT of things that adium is totally missing at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 It's a shame that Fire has went to nowhere recently. Little updates and it's missing a lot of features, along with it being quite unstable. I didn't like Proteus, so I'll try out Adium now. Thanks for the heads up though guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNE Freak Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Timdorr, the latest beta is much faster than the previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdc Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 looks good, but i'll stick with adium. open source is the way to go.plus, proteus takes up like half my screen with my contacts. the list is too big. view > hide contact images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 anyone have any ideas here: when i get sent messages or have a chat in general, my window doesn't scroll, i must manually scroll to see all the responses, and cant figure out what is up.

ss1 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Ohh me likes! This is good! :). I'll prolly will pay for this since I found Adium to be very lacking. ss1. P.S. I haven't had any issues with speed with this beta btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_01 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Damn, this program is horrible when using it for MSN. No user pictures, no block function, no filetransfer, no multiple chat function. This is even worse than MSN Messenger 4. It's more stable than MSN Messenger 4 tho ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 hrm. proteus ain't that great, neither is fire. adium all the way by now. best app so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
