I finally gave in to temptation and switched over to IEView. The Longhorn theme is AMAZING I must say :)

Seems pretty resource heavy to me though - scrolling and new messages results in visible flickering. Is there anyway to eliminate/reduce this? Or is it due to my system? Also, I noticed that it relies on Javascript to achieve the PNG transparency effect, hence if you leave IE's security settings at high, transparency doesn't really show. Any workaround?

But either way, great stuff! Cheers :)

png transparency is not achieved using javascript. it is resource heavy due to png transparency. the effects of this would probably be reflective of your computer. the IE security may have an effect on the css filter style applied to achieve png transparency.

Geee, thanks =)

no dislikes so far? :(

I'd expect some dislikes... heheheh...

seems like everybody is happy.. I guess I'll concentrate creating the next "best" template.... Umm..... Tiger one..

thanks, got it all working. Appreciate it. I don't think I can use miranda any longer though. I mean the IEVIEW thing is great and all but the aim protocol on miranda is just pure crap. It has connection issues and it wont update anyones profile. Then it can't see half my contacts online. Eeek. Back to trillian i think.

Wow that looks just amazing, exactly what I've wanted... Just I can't get it to work :(

Under options I have this:

Yet my message window hasn't changed at all...

HELP! :)

Thanks, and great job again... Hope I can get myn to work...

EDIT: Turns out I had to activiate it in the message window, sorry... Now I have another problem though: how do I get rid of the scroll bar on my list? everything is transparent except the scrollbar.... :p

Try these settings first, works for me:

And there's always this option in green (which I find less practical because the bar never shows up, even when the list is too long for the screen's height):

    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
