Post a screenshot of your current miranda and the plugins you're using right now. It'll be easier for someone to help you out that way.

This is probably a stupid question but how to I make the icon on my list flash when i get a message? I know you can enable this feature on the system tray icon, but how I make it work on the clist?

If you don't enable 'Automatically popup window when: ...' under Options -> Messages, the status icon next to the contact who messaged you will automatically flash. I'm not sure if you can enable both though (i.e. have the window pop-up and the icon flash on your contact list at the same time).

Hi there ... 2 Noobie questions ... Is there any webcam plugin for miranda? :p And, what can I do to use an avatar and make it visible to my contacts? Thanks :)

No, there isn't any webcam-plugin for miranda, and there won't be any in the near future. Maybe you want to code a plugin, you know... it's an opensource-project, everybody can participate.

For avatar support you need the avatar service. Don't put both DLLs into your plugin-folder! You only need loadavatar.dll, the other one is for unicode-builds (nightlys).

hey guys any idea on how to stop miranda from automatically connecting to each client when the program starts? i had it working before but i have no idea how it happened.

You need the plugin StartupStatus

Please please please can someone tell me how you set a display picture?

I'm sure i've set a million options but still I can't get my display picture to show up, either in Miranda or to other users. This is for the MSN protocal btw.

That didn't work, I had to download the latest nightly until it worked.

But the thing is, now although other people can see my picture, in my IEVIEW it still says I have no picture. This is for MSN (I dont use other networks).

Can anyone solve this?

^^^ This is an adium skin i`ve worked on the weekend - it`s main features include a 3D look for the groups and shadows for the whole skin (which was a pain in the ars^ to make, since it`s composed of pieces coming together).

I still have some quirks to work out - and perhaps work on some more 3d looking group bars (and ofcourse 3 more color variations) but what do you think so far, and would anybody be interested in it`s release? (since it`s my first work on a miranda skin - don`t be embarassed if you think it sux... the eyes of a "father" always see the "beauty" of a child...)

the IEviewtemplate is a modded version of PurePlastics and the smileys are 3DAnimsmileys (i think) from the Miranda FL.

enjoy... :)

I've got tabsrmm and ieview installed, but I'm not quite sure how to get ieview up and running. Any suggestions?

Also, what's the diff between ieview and scriver? They both alter the look of tabsrmm, is that right?

edit: also, where can I get tweakui for Miranda? I didn't find it on the Miranda site. :(

In the previous versions you could set an avatar under Options>Network>MSN, although avatar support may have been broken/changed at some point. Either way I recommend using nightlies, they have always been very stable for me.

What IEView theme are you using? Those with avatar support usually require you to store your avatar in the theme folder. eg. The themes by russelc require you to have a 'myavatar.jpg' containing your display picture in the theme's folder.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
