Miranda Customization Topic

mmm... it's easy, install the plugin, load the skin (a .msf file) and done. :p .

[russellc]

if something is released under GPL, does that mean i can release modifications of it without permission from the original author, but state the original author's name in the readme? :p

[karma_police]

yes and include the GPL license and the source code or in this case the PSD or whatever :p

How do I use other peoples themes?

Like when I go to mirandas website and look at the themes... I download it and don't know what to do next.

I tried that AdiumX skin, but how do I install it?

[karma_police]

you need the clist modern layered plugin, the link is on miranda-im.org or here a few pages back.

[ninjakarl]

this is what you guys can look forward to :) (left shows black, with close button not mouseovered; right shows 'white', with close button overed)

the style without the titlebars will be included. but will look more or less the same as eachother (just dark or light)

OMGOMGOMG release it! I would use Miranda IM just for that. I love it. Just a thought, how about sticking the display pictures on the left so if there user name is too long then it doesn't get lost (which happens with Gaim I've noticed).

well, the placing of the elements is not up to me lol. you set the arrangements of name, avatar, etc.

[ninjakarl]

Well, as I said "I would download Miranda just to use this" indicates that I have never used it before. lol.

How do you get the buddy icons on miranda??

Is it a plugin?

The problem with the skin, you are refering to, is that he isn't allowed to release it under GPL since he is using apple-graphics...

EDIT:

@russelc: it's a great skin! Sorry, I forgot to answer your PM... but I see you don't need my help anymore :p

[tmw]

mynimal: Thanks!

russellc: That is AMAZING. Can't wait to get my hands on it. :D

But afaik russellc isn't using any graphic from it, just the code :p or the .msf file.

[jim-phelps]

That's true :)

OMG! That looks so damn good. God I'm a sucker for eye-candy.

I'm using modern contact list atm but haven't figured out how to get rid of the + and - signs from showing against the group names.

Help please?

EDIT: Nevermind. Worked it out :)

[ninjakarl]

I have no freaking clue how to use different contact lists. Can somebody give me a link to one and how to install it? I have like Clist_nicer and ieview but how do I get one working?

There are few contact lists (clists) scattered throughout this thread, try and download the one from Karma Police which you can find on the first page of this thread. It's called spotlight.

I'm not too sure how to use other people's clists with clist_nicer but it's easy in clist_nicer+ which you can download from here

Make sure that you put clist_nicer_plus.dll in the Plugins folder of Miranda.

Then go to Options->Plugins and select clist_nicer+

Restart Miranda.

Once you've downloaded and unzipped your.clist file, go to Options->List Background+->Import

And select your downloaded clist.

Doesn't do anything. Not a single thing. Is there anything else I should have?

[instant.human]

woot some "mirandas" look great. at least better then my trillian pro 2 with its default skin. ;) but i like it.

[duron]

My contact list

Do you mean your contact list shows you nothing at all?

Or?

[Gelosea]

I'm working on a skin to match the LE4 Blue theme

But i have one question how do i make a titlebar button wider and how do i change the margins?

[jdb264c]

how's everyone feel about my skin with a titlebar? :) (am thinking of releasing this, so sit tight :p )

It's beautiful! Hoping for a rel soon :)

[fuBar.]

Sorry to go off topic, but how do you install Miranda skins?
