How can I change the position of the close and minimize buttons in a Modern Contact list skin?

I've tried changing a few of the values in this, but nothing works. :/

$BTN_close_0=sGlyph,Image,button_close_0.png,TileBoth,0,0,0,0,255
$BTN_close_1=sGlyph,Image,button_close_1.png,TileBoth,0,0,0,0,255
$BTN_close_2=sGlyph,Image,button_close_2.png,TileBoth,0,0,0,0,255
@14=s$BTN_close_2:MButton,ID=btn_close,Down=1
@15=s$BTN_close_1:MButton,ID=btn_close,Hovered=1
@16=s$BTN_close_0:MButton,ID=btn_close
#btn_close=sPush,CLIST/HK/CloseMiranda,-22,6,-6,20,R-R--,0,0,Close Miranda

I have downloaded the latest version of miranda. But i cant get clist_modern to work. It doesnt show up in my plugin list under settings.

Can anyone help me?

[Bunio]

Maybe you have older version of clist_modern?

Try this

Ah, really nice.

You're using clist_nicer huh? mydetails never seems to show for me using nicer.

[Purple Haze]

Humph.

Using Miranda 7 and Tabsrmm 2, does anyone know why the message input area doesn't stay resized? I'll resposition the input area, 'save for all sessions' and it just goes back to a stupid huge size when i close that container.

Edit: Ah - Nevermind. Apparently if it i make the message input as small as possible, it auto expands when the container is closed. I just had to make it slighty above the minimal limit ~

I'd like to know if there's a fix/workaround for this too. It was fine before Miranda 7/Tabsrrm 2 combo, and while it's not a big deal, it's still annoying.

I fixed mine by resizing the input box barely above the minimum. I think as long as it isnt the absolute smallest, it won't resize itself.

Yes, it is clist_nicer, mydetails works fine with this plugin...

hey, i like your contact list. is that easy to do with clist_modern? how about with clist_nicer? i'm still using clist_classic, and though i like the look you have, i don't want a resource-hungry plugin.

wow! What skin is it? I want it! can I have it too?

No skin, just clist_nicer & tabSRMM and native classic windows style...

Thanks. It is easy with clist_modern. I'm not very good at Miranda but even I could do this. :p And about resources, it's fine. I see no difference if I have it off, if I have Miranda running, etc... Compared to Firefox or even Winamp, I'll take another 5,000.

Well, that's mine:

First problem that I have is that I can't change my message window. I read the topic @ NeoWin but still having problems. I have DLed and properly installed both plugins (IEWindow, TABSrmm) and checked Support For External Plugins. I think that they're both workin' fine. But, then I DL a window skin from dA and put in C:\Documents and Settings\MyUsername\Application Data\Miranda\tabSRMM\skins and install it with Miranda [Customize->Message Window Skin->Load and Apply. I search for Rino_skin_orange.tsk [Message Skin for my Rino Skin] and install it. But the message window looks like ****. With that skin I got a few other files [Thumbs.db, Rino_skin_orange.tsk, orange_background.jpg, skin_folder -> some icons and buttons] What am I doing wrong?

And 2 more things:

~ how can I set up that Miranda will auto reconnect when I get disconnected?

~ how can I set up my own avatar? Do I need an external plugin or smthin?

Thanks..

Anyone plz?

You can set your avatar by Main Menu>View/Change my details.

If you mean setting your avatar in the main skin, then I think that is hardcoded into one of the image files so you will have to edit those.

[Razor]

I mean my avatar which is shown to other contacts. I try to change my avatar by Main Menu>View/Change my details but there's nothing where I could click and set up my own avatar? And about my firts problem?

Thanks.

[.AlleymaN]

Cant help you with you first problem since I do not use message window skins. Sorry.

What version of miranda are you using? I get the avatar option in the view/change my details dialog (using MIM 0.7.3):

[Razor]

I've just installed MIM 0.7.3 but I still can't find it.

Here's a ScreenShot:

http://bayimg.com/MAiCIaAbB -> Click!

[.AlleymaN]

ah... You have to right click on the Miranda icon in the taskbar tray, then select Main Menu>View/Change my details...

The screen shot above shows the options to configure what you want to see in that menu. Miranda can be confusing like that. I wouldve preferred everything to be in the Preferences page but they decided to put some options in the preferences dialog and some in context menus. Can be frustrating as a new user.

[Razor]

Thanks, and one simple question why my all the avatars are blac/white? And where I can set that Miranda automaticly starts at startup? If there's a setting/plugin. I can put it into a Start->Programs->Startup but it doesn't always work.

[.AlleymaN]

Check the following setting : Draw avatars grayscale

I dont think there is a setting to have it run on startup, I just use the startup folder in start menu.

[Razor]

It's working fine. Thanks.

hey guys

back to using miranda.

i wanted that minimalistic look..

Anywhoo I'm using RusselC's skin and have some questions

How do i get ride of that View Mode context at the bottom of the contact list?

i looked through the options for awhile now and have it the way it is now. Looked pretty bad when I initiallly applied the skin :]

Also how do i disable those AIM icons on the right? Couldn't find anything..

Actually basically what I'm asking for is.. How do I only get the contacts to show? I dont want to see anything else but the contacts.

Thanks for the help :)
