LBraasch Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 basically, it seems that miranda is confusing as hell to get a grip of when you frist try it out. It takes a lot of time to learn, and will be the source of much frustration. It seems that even when you have an experianced hand help you, it doesn't seem to help much. Just keep on going at it, and you should adventually get the jist. I myself, don't even know how i got it to finally work, but i can change themes, and lists w/ no problems.

LBraasch Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 start unchecking boxes. remove almost all the buttons for the chat windows, and drag your list window to be smaller. You've basically gotten past the hard part. Just play around w/ the settings. Go into message sessions - > messaging, uncheck "show tool bar" and uncheck "show status bar". You should be able to make it look like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

. Xs Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, I need some help with Miranda IM. I have the latest version 0.4.0.1. I'm trying to install this template: http://www.miranda-im.org/download/details...iewfile&id=2158 (see screenshot - the gray one). Plugin list with versions: I've already put the template path as this screenshot shows: Also, I've already checked: Use IEView as default Message Log: And the result is this... :wacko: : Need help!

karma_police Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 You have to check Show events, nicknames, etc... on the second screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Xs Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks for a fast response. But it still the same (after restarting). Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karma_police Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If you send a message and then right click over the space where it's supposed to appear a pop up menu should appear, finally just click on show source. Do you see some HTML and your message inside??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Xs Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) Yep, it shows the HMTL. It looks good in the interior: But is there any way to remove all those borders, and put all the space around each message box transparent, and write in a similar box, and maybe incorporate the avatar in those boxes? How about the contact list? Is there any way to put it completely transparent and just the names to appear in the desktop, maybe sorted by groups?

fahmi_r Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I know a lot of people have had problems with miranda and the ieview plugin so just post here and i will try and help and i know karma_police will also be able to help and anyone else who wants to help. I myself had problems with ieview for quite a long time. So here is a quick guide.<--Useful links--> Ie view (check there fequently as it is updated nearly daily) tabSRMM Miranda 0.4 Miranda zip Miranda installer All test builds can be found here. Miranda Blog I warn you all the above are betas or alphas so use at your own risk. <--IE ViewGuide--> 1.Install miranda or place miranda folder in C-Program Files. 2. Navigate to the miranda im folder and find the plugins folder. In there goes the tabSRMM.dll (more instructions included with plugin) and ieview.dll. 3. Now open up miranda go to options then Plugins and check ieview and tabsrmm. 4. Restart miranda 5. Go to options and you should see the structure has changed. Open the tree Message sessions - Message window - Message Log - Check "Activate support for external log. 6. If you have simleyadd plugin get rid of it it can cause problems. IE view has it its own smiley engine. 7. Thats it ieview should now work. You can apply css files and templates from Message sessions - IEview plugin. 585563488[/snapback] help me. i am stuck at number 5. i cant find the "activate support for external log" :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphonic Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 How long till Miranda is easy to customise again? I can't believe there isn't some easy skinning method as featured in things like AdiumX. Screenshot = AdiumX and about 1 minute of configuring. adium.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
