Miranda Customization Topic

[Ambience]

Falled angel: there is an option within options. I think on the newer ones, it says 'pop-up message when:' and it gives you options for 'offline, online, away, etc.'

[cheazles]

Sup neowin buddies.

Question as usual. Using clist_nicer, is there a way to get rid of the contact list border?

Yep there is. If you don't already have TweakUI, download it from here.

Then once you've put it into your plugins folder go to Plugins->TweakUI->No border then restart Miranda

How can I make my Miranda to pop-up THE messages that comes to me? I don't wanna just a "baloon" next to the clock...

Options->Message->Message Window->Tabs and Layout

Under Message tab and window creation options check the Automatically pop up the window/tab when a message is received.

REALLY thanks, Ambience and cheazles!!!

This is driving me nuts... wanting to perma-switch to Clist_modern_layered, cuz it looks so amazing... But is there any way to get your contacts in alphabetical order? I'm sure it's most likely staring me in the face, but I'm missing it so far.

Assuming you have the latest Miranda (http://blog.miranda-im.org), open up Miranda options -> Contact List, then in the "Contact List Sorting" section, just change the 1st dropdown element to "Name"

Not sure how your menus are set up but right click on Miranda system tray icon to get: Main Menu->Frames->Status Bar->Visible

Hope that helps

How do you change the group expand/collapse button?

Options->Contact List->Icons then either Import Icons or Load Icon set if you have a set.

[HipHopaholic]

I have a problem. Before i could see my buddy typing (typing notifiication) but now i cant see the little icon appearing in the chat box when my buddy is typing. I dont know what happen.

I've already enable Show Typing and have everyone checked, but no luck. What else am i suppose to do?

Does the little icon normally appear on the bottom left corner of your chat window?

[HipHopaholic]

Yes, and also in the title bar. But i had to reinstall miranda completety a few weeks ago, and now i cant get typing notification from the people in my buddy list like i use to.

I'm not sure about the titlebar. Didn't even know that was possible but assuming you use tabsrmm, is it possible that you've selected "Hide the status bar" in your container options?

EDIT: Found out how to display typing notification in the titlebar of your chat window (Again, assuming you use tabsrmm)

Options->Message Sessions->Message Window->Containers

And in Default window title format where it probably has %n - %s, type in %M.

More variables to stick in the title bar can be found at this link

I installed the Longhorn theme by Russelc, but it doesn't work correctly as you can see in the screenshot below, how do I fix it?

[Oompa]

Make sure you have the latest IEView and your file isn't corrupt.

Yeah. I tried downloading it from different sites, so I should have a non-corrupt file. I have the latest stable version of IEView.

Does your Longhorn folder have an images folder in it as well?

Your message box looks like it does because the .ivt file doesn't know where the images it refers to are. Either you are missing the images folder completely, or it's not where it's supposed to be.

It has stuff like hdr_black, hdr_green, msg_glass folder in the images folder.

I solved the problem.

It turns out that I have to turn on 'Allow Active Content to be run under my Computer', I turned it on, and it works perfectly.

Thanks anyways :D

That doesn't sound like a Miranda option...where did you go to turn that option on?

Does anyone know if other IEView templates require that option on?

[merc73]

Argh, now IEview isn't working properly. When a  message is recieved, the window doesnt scroll down automatically to show the latest message, I have to manually scroll it down every time I get a message, and most of the time the window doesnt flash as it should. Are there some settings that aren't set properly. I have the latest tabsrmm and ieview plugins.

i got the same problem too, anyone?
