I think It's HandelGotDLig or something sinilar, but (theoretically) you have to pay to use it...

[russellc]

Aight, my first couple hours with Miranda... extremely painful. :rolleyes: Here are the problems I am facing:

1. I am not able to hide offline users when I right click on main window and check 'hide offline users'. None of the offline functions in that context menu work.

2. When I start Miranda, I get a message 'ICONPACK: Unknown version, load anyway?' Simultaneously, I get a tooltip in systray that connection to yahoo has failed. Yahoo then works if I sign in manually.

3. If I choose a transparent background for main window, the contact names appear very ugly (kinda distorted fonts and all).

4. No matter what I do, the contacts appear in white colored font. I can change the size, font type, boldness, etc. but not the font color, which stays at white.

5. I am not able to vertically resize the main contact window. I can resize it horizontally, though.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out with this.

Here's hoping I can help with some of these:

1. I am not able to hide offline users when I right click on main window and check 'hide offline users'. None of the offline functions in that context menu work.

Options > Contact List > List > 'Hide Offline' means to hide...

Check/uncheck the ones you want.

2. When I start Miranda, I get a message 'ICONPACK: Unknown version, load anyway?' Simultaneously, I get a tooltip in systray that connection to yahoo has failed. Yahoo then works if I sign in manually.

Options > Message Sessions > Message window > Tabs and Layout > "Perform version check on Icon DLL"

Uncheck this.

Dunno about Yahoo, try redownloading the Yahoo plugin off the Miranda website.

5. I am not able to vertically resize the main contact window. I can resize it horizontally, though.

Options > Contact list > Window > "Automatically resize window to height of list"

Play around with this option and the ones around it, you probably have your list on automatic resize

As for the wierd font problems, happend to me a few times but I can't remember how I fixed it :blush: . But if you want your list to be transparent, don't put a transparent background, selet the Options > Contact list > list background + > "automatically fill background with wallpaper" option instead.

Thanks for the helpful reply, pinkchick :) Everything works now.

I didn't need to download the Yahoo plugin, when I unchecked 'Perform version check on Icon DLL', the problem was solved.

I am giving up on the transparent background for now and waiting for Jim Phelps' guide. :happy:

EDIT: One more thing... when I type ':D', the text is not replaced by the corresponding smiley; can anything be done about this?
