If you don't have it it's because either you don't have Avatar Service or your version of Modern is so out-dated that it doesn't have avatar support yet (i don't remember what version he merged it from pescuma's build). My guess is both, since you evidently aren't using a nightly build of Miranda (which is why the newer version of Modern isn't showing up in your list).

hey, where did you get the hmmxp skin??

I just took some other guy's skin and deleted all the images from it except for the one that sets the lighter-coloured area in the middle.

I guess. Just this once....

Put this in a /skins/ folder or something. I don't know how well it'll work on anybody else's computer, you might have to play around with it a little bit. The background image relies on the My Details plug-in being there i think, so if the top part looks screwed up you might have to edit it in Paint or something.

Man, some of you guys with really nice themes should upload packages for us to download. I really hate going through all this trouble just to make my IM client look nice, and even when I try I can never get anything to look right.

Some of you guys have really damned nice layouts, though. I'm impressed.

Just wondering if there is any resource that has all the best skins, themes, icons, etc. for miranda components such as clistmodern, popup, ieview, etc.?

Unrelated to that, I was wondering what the best way to get mouseover statuses and maybe even away messages on the buddy list like GAIM. Also, is there a reliable method to do metacontacts like gaim?

I'm having trouble with the Tipper plugin now. The tooltip for whatever reason only appears behind the contact list, so I cannot see it. How can I fix this?

Also, how can I create new groups on my buddy list or even rearrange the existing ones? It seems all I can do is put one group inside of another. I want to move certain groups higher on my buddy list, but am not able to do it for some reason.

In the Container Options under Use Private Title Format, where it has %n etc.

I went through the alphabet trying to get it to show the nickname I gave that person instead of there actual screen name. If you have any ideas or anything i'd appreciate it!

someone please help.

i downloaded the clist_modern plugin and it comes in 2 new rars...i have tried both but it doesnt show up in my plugins menu. How can i get this to work?

The clist_modern plugin does not work with the current stable version of miranda im; unless you have an old version of clist_modern. You can use the testing builds of miranda im to use the updated clist_modern, it comes pack with it the last time i check.

okay i got skins up and running but now i am confsued with ieview and tabs.

How can i get a theme to work for ieview...there are 2 options...and i have tried both yet when i restart miranda neither work. I downloaded a ieview skin off of deviant art and it didnt work. Also, what is a good minimal theme for ieview that will work with a lot of different themes.

my second question is if there is a plugin for convo tabs like GAIM has. If so, how can i get this to work?

Thanks guys,

where is the option to use ieview as the default chat log? I couldnt find it :(

@bsommer: Message Sessions > Message Window > click on the "Message log" tab there scroll down a bit and select the option "Use IEView as default message log"

Now you should be able to use IEView :D

@Daeron Tin?viel: You cant remove it from the message windows as far as I know.

And cant you just use the other skins for clistnicer layerd?

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
