You should ask those questions on the miranda customization topic not here.

Poor russellc, the thread is hijacked :p

i agree, i made this thread purposely to seperate the general miranda questions from the skin questions/comments. it would be appreciated if you guys could keep these threads on topic.

as for your question, it's been answered before i'm sure (i remember reading someone asking this and having it answered), so you should have a read through the miranda customization thread and possibly it was in this thread as well..somehow this thread became a general miranda question thread

Once I installed this miranda clist_nicer layered version, my miranda just keeps on crashing.

The answer to that is in the very first post.

Turn off "Hot track items as mouse passes over".

heh, i'll see if i got the time to make one. this weekend i'm just gonna be relaxing (and updating this skin), i've had a long week. possibly something new will come next weekend. i don't have time to make something new on the weekdays

so, i'll fill you guys in with the ieview template if i get anywhere with it (mocks, etc) :)

EDIT: how does everyone feel about this set of scrollbars?

Actual screenshot of scrollbars

i had this in mind (mocked), but the plugin seems to shrink the scrollbars quite a bit. the current actual scrollbars may look a bit in a bad position, but i cant set where to put them..

How to Install it ?? It's the first time I use Miranda IM  :cry:

I'm a rookie

Could you explain me exactly ? please

Any files mentioned can be found here.

These are instructions strictly to install this skin. If you have other questions relating to Miranda go to the Miranda Customisation Thread.

1. Download Miranda IM and install

2. Download the latest Modern Contact List Layered (clist_modern.dll which is v 0.3.1.216) and put this into your plugins folder

3. Download imagedecoder.dll (I don't actually know if this is a definite must have but helps) and also put this into your plugins folder

4. Download ModernClear and unzip it to anywhere on your harddrive. Miranda folder is probably the best place.

5. Run Miranda and go to Options->Contact List->List and make sure "Hot track items as mouse passes over" is NOT selected

6. Go to Plugins and tick clist_modern.dll

7. I can't remember if the skin applied itself automatically because it was the only modern skin I had or if I had to select it manually but do this:

If you see no contact list upon restarting Miranda, click on Miranda tray icon and go to Options->Customize->Skin->Browse and go to the unzipped ModernClear folder. Selct any of the .msf files then hit apply.

That should be it...might have forgotten something somewhere though :rolleyes:

Maybe it's time for a readme :yes:

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
