2 Questions: Profile Colors & Away messages

Hello all,

I'm new to Adium (and this forum of course), and I looked through the first ten pages of help here and couldn't find the answers to my questions so I decided to post.


First Question: Is there ANY way to import my away messages from AIM? And if not, is there any way to change the font colors while making a status message on Adium? (I use a black background with white font)

Second Question: This kinda relates to my first, but is there any way to change the colors on the profile? As I specified in the previous question?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I'm running Adium X 0.89.1 :cool:

There's no way to import AIM statuses.

Select the text you'd like to change and check out the options under the Format menu. Adium uses the OS X standard font panel for changing colors.

As far as I know, the only quick way to import away messages would be a copy paste (i know, it's still time consuming.)

As for the font colors, Press Command(apple key)-T, and that will bring up a dialogue with which you can set font colors.

With that said, I can't remember if Adium .89.1 supports colors in away messages/profiles. If this is really important to you, you could try the beta.

.89 supports colored text in profiles and away messages.

I could never get colored backgrounds to work until 1.0, however.

Ahh, thanks for the help, I got the stuff working for status messages, but not for the profile. I'm gonna try the beta out right now. Thanks again.
