Hey All!
Not sure if I've come to the right place. Got here through the Adium website.
I'm looking to mod the appearance of my Adium contact list with some custom themes, can anyone point me in the right directions of somewhere where where they can help out with my ideas?

Cheers dudes! :)

Ah thanks for the link!!
Will definitely have a look through all that, but what inwas really wondering was;
Do you think there's a way to code a plugin it so that the contact list window fades away when your mouse isn't over it. Then fades back in when you mouse over the area it sits in on your screen?
Does that make any sense? :p

Cheers!!

You can have Adium hide the contact list automatically on the screen edges. The setting is in Preferences - Advanced - Contact List.

That was absolutely perfect! Wow thanks for that :D
Embarrassed I didn't know that was there lol.

One more question, do you know if it's possible to change the opacity of the message window like you can with the contacts list?

Thanks again :)

Not the entire window I believe, but you can set the background to be transparent. Preferences --> Messages --> Use Special Background --> Set the color to whatever percentage transparency you want.

Or just look at transparent message styles. You should sniff around on that website, there are tons of plugins.
