The skin in action (the white titlebar variation)

I'll make this thread quickly so all the questions can be answered here about the skin. Firstly, there is a known bug where Miranda will crash when you mouseover your contacts. To fix this, go to the Miranda IM options, Contact List -> List and then uncheck "Hot track items as mouse passes over". This will be fixed in the update, when I have time to update it :p ..That's about all I need to say here, so just ask questions here and they will be addressed accordingly (instead of asking them in the Miranda Customization thread).

EDIT: there's another bug where the skin will crash miranda im. this is if you enable scrollbars. just disable scrollbars and your crashing troubles will be over. i have many many missing elements, so i will be taking care of those in the next update

I didn't really have time to make a thread or readme last night, as any files I upload will have to be revised by a moderator before it will appear.

Changelog:

- reworked "slick" style (a few visual improvements)

- black titlebar variation has a bit more see through frame

- 2 new variations of the titlebar version, the "Miranda IM"

text is removed and replaced with a minimize button (black

& white titlebar variations)

- minimize button moved next to close button (no problems now),

"Miranda IM" text is back

Next version?:

- icons of the same style of the skin

There are no mirrors at the time. I do not need any mirrors as of yet, so please do not mirror this yourself :)

Amazing skin! So good I ditched my own custom made one for clist_nicer which took me hours to tune. Only one question though.

How does one remove the little icon that collapses/expands the groups? I still have the little + or - to the left of the group, and really sticks out liek a sore thumb since the triangle you made is on the right.

well, as long as you have the latest release of clist modern, you can remove the group icons in the Row items -> Icons tab options.

@Stealth-X: read the first post please

what are recommended fonts/sizes for this skin (if any) cause i've got a problem with that line for groups going through the text, not below it (should be about 4 px lower for me):

well, thats one problem that i'm not really 100% sure how to fix yet. but it has to do with the spacing in the rows. just try playing around with the minimum row heights and font sizes.

miranda options -> contact list -> window -> always on top.

I did that and no matter if it's unchecked or checked, it's always on top.

Also, it's not getting an avatars for list nor is it showing mine, what's wrong?

wierd thing with that 'on top,' there is no other place to control this. Does this happen with all modern skins (I have no idea, how a skin could affect this.. but it wouldn't be the first time i got suprised by computers ;) )

I don't use avatars at all, so can't help with that one :(

Download the loadavatars.dll and it should fix your problem with avatars in the contact list.

And I have the same problem with always on top but that doesn't bug me.

Is there a quick way to change the close button so it minimizes instead?

586663326[/snapback]

search for the following line

#close=sPush,CLIST/HK/CloseMiranda,-63,1,-10,34,R-R--,0,0,Close Miranda

change "CLIST/HK/CloseMiranda" to "CLIST/ShowHide"

that should do it. if you'd like you can change the tooltip as well. just change "Close Miranda" to "Minimize Miranda" or the desired tooltip text

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
