i'm having an issue with the latest beta of IEView. Using it in addition with the most recent versions of Smiley Add and the nightly beta of Miranda, i can't activate the transparent PNG fix otherwise my smileys disappear from the text box. without the 'fix', the PNG smileys are shown but are not translucent at all. help?

How can I separate the groups? I cant make this thing work... sad.gif Any idea?

Post a screenshot of your current miranda and the plugins you're using right now. It'll be easier for someone to help you out that way.

This is probably a stupid question but how to I make the icon on my list flash when i get a message? I know you can enable this feature on the system tray icon, but how I make it work on the clist?

If you don't enable 'Automatically popup window when: ...' under Options -> Messages, the status icon next to the contact who messaged you will automatically flash. I'm not sure if you can enable both though (i.e. have the window pop-up and the icon flash on your contact list at the same time).

Hi there ... 2 Noobie questions ... Is there any webcam plugin for miranda? :p And, what can I do to use an avatar and make it visible to my contacts? Thanks :)

No, there isn't any webcam-plugin for miranda, and there won't be any in the near future. Maybe you want to code a plugin, you know... it's an opensource-project, everybody can participate.

For avatar support you need the avatar service. Don't put both DLLs into your plugin-folder! You only need loadavatar.dll, the other one is for unicode-builds (nightlys).

hey guys any idea on how to stop miranda from automatically connecting to each client when the program starts? i had it working before but i have no idea how it happened.

You need the plugin StartupStatus

Please please please can someone tell me how you set a display picture?

I'm sure i've set a million options but still I can't get my display picture to show up, either in Miranda or to other users. This is for the MSN protocal btw.

That didn't work, I had to download the latest nightly until it worked.

But the thing is, now although other people can see my picture, in my IEVIEW it still says I have no picture. This is for MSN (I dont use other networks).

Can anyone solve this?

^^^ This is an adium skin i`ve worked on the weekend - it`s main features include a 3D look for the groups and shadows for the whole skin (which was a pain in the ars^ to make, since it`s composed of pieces coming together).

I still have some quirks to work out - and perhaps work on some more 3d looking group bars (and ofcourse 3 more color variations) but what do you think so far, and would anybody be interested in it`s release? (since it`s my first work on a miranda skin - don`t be embarassed if you think it sux... the eyes of a "father" always see the "beauty" of a child...)

the IEviewtemplate is a modded version of PurePlastics and the smileys are 3DAnimsmileys (i think) from the Miranda FL.

enjoy... :)

I've got tabsrmm and ieview installed, but I'm not quite sure how to get ieview up and running. Any suggestions?

Also, what's the diff between ieview and scriver? They both alter the look of tabsrmm, is that right?

edit: also, where can I get tweakui for Miranda? I didn't find it on the Miranda site. :(

In the previous versions you could set an avatar under Options>Network>MSN, although avatar support may have been broken/changed at some point. Either way I recommend using nightlies, they have always been very stable for me.

What IEView theme are you using? Those with avatar support usually require you to store your avatar in the theme folder. eg. The themes by russelc require you to have a 'myavatar.jpg' containing your display picture in the theme's folder.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free. This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.
