Using modern, have image coder, loaded skins, however everything is still invisible. Theres just no contact list. What a shame :(

I can see the skin for a second when miranda loads, then its just all black boxes. If i try to load any skin then its just all invisible.

Do you perchance have the tweakui dll addon enabled? I had that as a holdover from the ancient days, and since it was not messing up with clist_nicer, i had never disabled it. However, it really does not work with clist_modern at all, and causes graphical messups similar to what you are showing. mine was a series of black rectangles, and would not go away until i disabled the tweakui addon.

Here is another demonstation of the 'Modern Clist Layered'-skinengine:

Please, don't send me any requests for this skin, it won't leave my harddisc in near future.

Well having a bit of a problem here.

Two actually, First, it's like I have a line where nicknames doesn't continue. Any ideas where to change that?

Also, every icq user doesn't change with the rest of my config.

maybe you should download the SSL libraries and put them into the miranda folder (a library is a .dll) sorry I don't remember how it was called, but iirc it was at the miranda forums :)

msn group chat on miranda does not work for me. when the two people speak the text is fine, but the third person has there name in <>

eg: " peter: <james> hi" when james tries to say hi in a conversation with me and peter. is there any way just to have it appear normal like "james: hi"

thanks in advance if anyone can help

How can I move the status icon from the left to the right side? The client/protocol/etc selections under the contact list->window do not seem to allow anything other than the status icon on the left and the client icon on the right. I do not want to see both, I want to see the status icon on the right.

@deep_sky: you can move the status icon to the right by changing the order of elements here: Contact List -> Row items. from there, you can change order of where each item is. move "Text" to the first position

@john fru: try the latest miranda builds from here

I had to update to a newer version apparently to get the options you mentioned, but now the skin doesnt apply at all. To be sure I have the proper dll versions, can you point me to the proper place t download the correct versions?

EDIT:

Okay I found .3.1.216 and installed that one, and the skin works. However, the text looks terrible. It's like looking at a CRT with busted convergence. This appears to be an issue with the plugin, not the skin. Is anyone else seeing problems with text looking bad with this version. Is there a newer version with the options I would like (row items) that doesnt have messed up text issues?

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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
