[release] ModernClear

[russellc]

ModernClear 1.2

Updated

The mock, which is now a reality

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

Download here

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.

my miranda crashes when i use this skin, everytime i put my cursor over a contact, i just crashes.

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):

other then that this skin rocks :)

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

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.

How do i make it not always ontop?

[em3]

Best skin ever for miranda. Good job. (Y)

[dreamsINdigital]

Awesome skin, thanks a lot! :D

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 :(

[Apollo]

i don't use it but i must comment, EXCELLENT SKIN!

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.

[eNeon]

Awesome, works for me fine no problems! Thanks for ya russelc B>

[dreamsINdigital]

How do you right align the avatars?

[_I am Reptar]

got everything working now, again i must stress it...really awesome skin!

[russellc]

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
