Hi old chaps!

I've just started using Miranda, after being inspired by this thread, however, I have a couple of questions...

Firstly, everyone seems to see my text as the default black-arial, is there any way to change this to how I want it to look?

Secondly, using clist_modern, how do I go about hiding the title bar (just as in clist_classic)?

Thanks :D

Hey everyone! I am sure this has been asked a million times, but I cannot find a clear cut answer.

How can I make my Miranda status icons/contacts look like this?

I have the following Miranda version and plug-ins that might be of interest, if it helps:

Miranda 0.6.8

clist_modern 0.4.2.36

tweakui 0.0.0.4

I've heard you can do it with TweakUI, by selecting Translucency and leave contacts opiate at 30% or with clist_nicer+ (I cannot find nicer+). But, when I select those options with TweakUI, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the help! :D

What theme and icons are those?

I think that on the second screenshot, the clist_nicer skin is "modernclear", the dark substyle, and the status icons are by a0x. not sure what the ieview theme is, but I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it either.

Can't help you much with the first screenshot, but again it's something I want :D

Not sure about the first screenshot of the vista looking contact list skin but there are heaps of variations. One is My Vista by russellc

The second screenshot is Modernclear also by russellc with Proxal icons by Angeli-ka/valkyrie.

The ieview theme is GoneDark by russellc. I'm not sure which variation is used in the screenshot but it's been slightly modded there anyway. Should be easy enough for you to replicate.

Btw, they are all clist_modern skins

With the recent "push" from Microsoft, I finally started really using Miranda.

Usually starting grom scratch and making it work like you want it to is very difficult.

I tried doing that many times, spent a whole day messing with it, asked around but later gave up.

It is the Mir4nda Pack that really got me started.

Went with one of the skins that came with the pack and themed the Tabsrmm to match it:

All the plugins are ther but customizing is still difficult as many of the plugins seem to operate together and finding the right place in the options is pretty hard. The options is intimidating. Now trying find how to change what the popup displays when a user comes online.

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 ~

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
