gertin Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Where does Miranda store it's configuration data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Where does Miranda store it's configuration data? In a *.dat file named after your profile name. It's located in your Miranda IM root folder (C:\Program Files\Miranda IM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Dont Know Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have a few questions, is the skin only supposed to apply to the main window or IM windows aswell? And for my second question, how can I add a display picture for my msn on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for my second question, how can I add a display picture for my msn on it. 1. Skins only apply to the main window. You need a plugin called "ieview" to skin the other windows. 2. Have a look ...

rvsp Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 excellent tutorial. i've been meaning to try miranda for the longest, due to the convience and customization it offers. however i could never figure how to implement a skin. i've read other's tutorial and they assumed too much on the part of a noob. and so i gave up. but then i saw this and decided, "what the heck, i'll give it one more go." and what do you know, i'm running miranda. :D thanks!

ninjakarl Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Just wondering what happened: Any ideas? :s edit: Scratch that, contact list won't even open now :s :s :s Help!! Edited March 22, 2006 by ninjakarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjakarl Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Okay, scratch that. I got it all fixed. The real problem I'm having now is with ieview. Dunno how to get the skins working properly. Help would be appreciated. edit: and if it's a stupid question just say so, how do I make groups? And how do I make it so that the message window pops up instantly when I receive a message? Edited March 22, 2006 by ninjakarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsp Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 yeah i am having similar difficulty with ieview. i downloaded basic by ThemaN but have not a clue on how to configure it. i tried several things, but nothing has yet worked. help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to options. Then go to Events, in the events you sohuld find a section called, "Messaging" click on that, then up the top it should say, "Automaitcly pop up windows when...." and a box with ticks i.e online offline etc. Tick the box saying online that should fix it i think. Try it and let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjakarl Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks, got that working (the popping up of message windows). But I still need help with IE-View! I downloaded Tabsrmm but that didn't help either (and it kept complaining about icolib.dll). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike45 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm a bit behind on this thread...only decided today to have another try at this chat prog. everything seems to be running ok but can't for the life of me get the other IM windows to skin using 'Dark Ride's' tut and the 'xpk Pixel Perfect Aqua' skin unless of course I'm missing something. I have all the necessary plugins but still no joy in getting it to work. could anyone possibly point me in the right direction...even if it is towards the exit sign. many thanks. Mike.

SMELTN Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 absolutely PERFECT.. THE best tutorial out there. Just installed Miranda and are making my friends jealous already because of this thread. Amazing. I have the same question as others though.. My main window looks PERFECT.. Skinned with no problems.. But what about the message window? How do i skin it?

Dark Ride Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Due to popular demand I will expand this guide to show you how to customize your chat windows. I will again try to keep it as simple and user friendly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billthy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Thanks for the guide but i have a question. I was wondering how you can change these icons around because i like to keep my buddy list small (picture 2) so i cut off alot of icons but i want the icon (red circle) to be first. Is there a way to do it, i am a Miranda noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkersc Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Dark Ride - just wanted to add my sincere thanks for your guide. As many have said here, it has been a tremendous help on getting me up and customizing Miranda - something I've wanted to do for a long time. Your .zip pack was great, and your screenshots were noob-proof. Looking forward to trying out skinning the message windows, as I'm sure all of us are!

pepo Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 For some reason it's not working for me?! After I uncheck classic and check modern, I apply, exit out and when I go back, and open the options menu, under Customize there is no skins or anything but Icons, and when I go to plugins, modern is unchecked and classic is checked, I can try as many times as I want to to uncheck classic and check modern , apply, but after I restart Miranda it's back to classic again, and there is no skin submenu under Customize?!

muldran Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 pepo, I had the same problem - I don't know if Dark Ride wants to double check, but it's either due to you using Miranda 0.5 (instead of .4) or, the clistmodern file in the zip file has become corrupt. I went to the miranda addons area, and downloaded the following new clistmodern file: http://addons.miranda-im.org/details.php?a...ile&id=2103 ...and this worked fine - it stayed ticked for me. 'av fun! J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
