Anyone got an idea about the border?

If you have a program such as photoshop, and use the eyedrop feature to figure out the RGB value of the sky where you keep your list, you will be able to get a close match, although the color will still overlap the part that goes over the building. You could make your list shorter so that it doesnt touch the building and just stays over the sky. Your image background is also not perfect, as I can see that its off by the tiniest best. Personally, I think your best best is to not use the flat plug-in but the tweakui plugin, shorten your list a bit so that it doesnt go over the building part, and figure out what the sky color is for the list background (this color is right around all the contact items so its important that its close to the color the list is over or it will look pixelated and nasty), and have the transparency effect that way. Not perfect, but as close as it's going to get for now.

I'm sorry that there is no better solution, but if you look at all the screenshots where people have transparent miranda lists, you will see that the list placement is carefully chosen, and the border and/or list background is carefully chosen to match the background as close as possible. Every time we change our wallpaper, we have to move/recolor miranda to match. Some wallpapers are impossible to use because the transparency effect while effective itself, causes artifacts around the contacts that look terrible and pixelated.

My guess is that they're just some forum topic titles

They are all RSS feeds from: 1) www.Aqua-Soft.org 2) www.mpcforum.com 3) www.bbc.com

As for the border problem:

Go the the Miranda website. Go to the plugins section. Download "tweakui". Install, restart, etc. Get it set up.

You have that border? Main Menu > Options > Plugins > Tweak UI > you will see all the border options, unsurprisingly you should select "No border"

      take your console only release and shove it. i sold my ps5 as my pc wipes the floor with it, at the point of sale i didn't envisage being ignored by one of the biggest and wealthiest developers ever because they simply can't be bothered to support a loyal user base. as i only played the single player versions, i'll be obtaining this "free" when it eventually reaches PC as an afterthought to pay for their christmas party drinks in 2029. screw me, screw you cockstar
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
