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

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.

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.

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:

untitled1.jpg

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..

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.

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.

hey guys

back to using miranda.

i wanted that minimalistic look..

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

miranda.jpg

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 :)
