I'd like the background of my contact list to be transparent on my desktop and whenever I have windows open. Miranda is set as Always On Top and this works fine but only if the background is white. When it's on top of any coloured backgrounds, e.g. the blue borders surrounding Neowin forums, it looks horrible.

I thought it had something to do with ClearType in XP but it wasn't the case

The font I'm currently using is Century Gothic.

Any help on fixing this would be appreciated!

That's Cleartype's fault.

Use this option instead of the TweakUI one

How do you guys get themes to work? I installed the newest ieview, tabsrmm and selected satin.ivt as my templates and as my RTL templates, but still Im getting the default theme, except when I try to write a message the text color is same as the background color so I can't see any text without highlighting it first? :cry:

for the input area you may need to change the background colour by doing the following:

I downloaded the clist-nicer plugin from miranda-im.? Since I heard you need that plugin to use .clist files I got it.? So now the question is... if I download a .clist file, where do I put it?

after that ot wont matter where u put the actual file, infact u can delete it.

EDIT: cheazles beat me to it

I've been having some Miranda woes...

I've had the same config for a couple of months [since avatar support in clist_nicer i think] so i decided to update all my plugins. But then my pop-ups didn't work as they used to and whenever anyone signs in the tray icon blinks, which i didn't even know it could do. I messed around with all the settings to no avail. So i decided to do a clean install with the following plugins: clis_nicer_plus, history++, ieview, loadavatars, tweakui and tabsrmm. I've got everything back to normal except the icon blinking and for some reason i can't get rid of the black outline around the main window.

Can anyone help? I'm probably just missing something really obvious.

No i know what they are but i was asking how he got them positioned on the right hand side ... but i worked it out now ...

Trigo-

Do you have the configuration for this skin and if so, can you send it to me? I'd love to have it, it just looks so simple and clean.

i cannot upload it as i used the base msf file of another skin. i only edited some values. the graphics were, though, all by me. but still i cannot release it until i do my own msf file as well :) ..this weekend i will probably try to make my own skin fully or maybe complete my own msf file for it

I gave it a shot. ;)

Didn't bother with the alpha blending dealie, because if I did it wouldn't match my precious area04. :p

Update:

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
