Wow! They actually added native skinning. Well, blending or whatever but it's so much better than a skin that doesn't match anything. Aim Lite is a step in the right direction, I like it. Is it possible to submit bug reports? I don't see anywhere to do it on their page unless it's hidden right out in the open.

On the bottom of the client click "WTF" and then click Speak your mind!

The only thing this app is missing is Direct Connect. Others can DC with me but I can't actually send them anything, no I'm not confusing DC with file transfer, I know about file transfer and would rather have DC.

That's the exact reason why I don't use this client. If it supported this I would marry it and so much more.

yes, they really need to add direct connect...

and for some reason it doesnt match my theme? what gives?

So direct connect can be added easily as an AIM Widget...you do not have to wait for us to write it, you can write it yourself if you want, using Javascript and Boxely toolkit. You can read more about how to write AIM Widget's here.

I am glad so many people are enjoying LAIM, we are working hard on getting a great client out to everyone, so that means building different client experiences. Some like AIM Pro, others like LAIM, other AIM 6.0, etc. Multiple choice is what we want to give users, not a boolean, yes I will use AIM or no I will not. As more and more custom clients come online, the better choices everyone will have.

BTW, theming is definitely one of the best parts of this client. Check it out if you have not found it already, and as always feedback is appreciated.

Images can be found on my blog.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
