1. i have tweakUI enabled and the background seems transparent no matter what i do.

2. how do i get rid of the icons and the "no view mode" bar?

3. is there a plugin that supports characters other than english?

4. this might be my stupidity, but everytime i chat.... the chat window does not auto scroll to the new message, but instead moves up to old messages. which leads me having to scroll down to read new received messages.

thank you.

This isn't exactly in reference to customisation, but just a general problem I'm having with Miranda - it won't log onto AIM for me. It tries to log on for a bit, but no luck. Do I need to change my login sever settings and such?

It's been asked some posts before

Ok, i'm getting really frustrated about my message log. I'm not using any plugins for it, but to put it simply ibasically just want it looking like mynimal's. See here.

I'm not really sure what you want, but I think you want it to look like Mynimal's? So, let's see. Go to Options -> Events -> Message Log.

Uncheck: Show icons, Show times, Show dates, Show status changes.

For the fonts, change: Outgoing Messages, Incoming Messages, Message Area to the colour Black, and whatever font he's using (I can't tell, but it looks like Verdana bolded); Outgoing Name, Incoming Name, Outgoing Colon, Incoming Colon to Light Blue and the same font as the one he's using.

Background colour (above the font changes), change it to grey.

I think that's it.

I personally don't use AIM, but I think updating the AIM connectivity plugin usually works. Or maybe revert to an older version if you've already got the newest.

I have a related question. I've never had trouble editing the styles for the default SRMM, but my name always shows up as (unknown contact). How can I change that?

Like i said in the previous page, i don't have those options:

I presumed i would find those options under the Message Sessions > Message Log window, but there's basically every options but the ones i'm looking for.

You can customize the message log under

Options -> Message Sessions -> Message Window -> Message Log -> Standard templates...

Hi, Newest modern contactlist 0.4.1.4 unicode is totally invisible. Miranda 4.3.42 starts without crashing, but no icon in the system tray is visible and there is no way to access the contact list at all. Did also create a new profile ... same problem. Deleted all unneeded plugins, but nothing helps. can't create a versions info because, I can't access the main menu. I'm using WinXP Pro with SP2 installed, latest ICQJ plugin, and the png2dib from miranda core package and the imgdecoder. ???? Please have a look on it.

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
