did you download off the beta page or the main page? the beta page ones make you redownload off the main page

Beta page. Is there a difference between what was on the beta page and what's on the main page?

They put Adium .80 up, then took it down and put up a newer version about an hour later, still called. 80. That's probably what happened to you.

0.8 is great, but am I the only one that is noticing a difference in the way it renders colours? In particular (and possibly only) dock icons... maybe it's something with tiger? I've used 0.8 right up to rc3 and havn't noticed anything till now, but I hadn't used the official release of 0.8 until after I installed tiger. Have a look what I mean:

Wasn't wunderwood's ichat icons blue, like ichat, before? not the greenish blue it's showing up for me? It also seems to me that my previously blue contact list now has a slight greenish tinge, but i might just be imagining that.

mm still having issues with some contact's avatar not changing

Yeah it is tiger's fault, and out of Adium's control apparently. I'm not sure exactly what causes this but some theories I've seen say the colour sync profiles, or the new way in which tiger handles .pngs. Sounds like it might be able to be fixed by changing something in the images, but I'm not sure what it is. I'm going to look into it when I get my hands on tiger.

love the sexy new release.

but what happened to the ability to put the status window always on top!

please tell me i overlooked the option or that you're rushing out a hotfix for this

I think I had color setting turned on photoshop when I made those (I have them off now). My guess is that Tiger is able to read the embedded color profiles that photoshop saves into files. So if your making dock icons make sure when your using photoshop that you go into the color prefs and select don't color manage from the first pull down menu. This may not be the problem, but it's my best guess.

I've fiddled around a little and worked out the way to fix this. Wunderwood, it's not actually that you had the colour management on that caused the problem, it's that you didn't. I took the pngs into photoshop and assigned a colour profile (apple RGB) to them all, and now I have my beautiful blue icon back! yay! thanks for your help.

I really hate colour profiles... why can't everything just play nice?

No longer in 0.8 - you can't disable it. That's brought a few complaints. But, it is "The Adium Way".

Are you serious. I rely don't feel like going back into those old things. If you woulden't mind sending me the version you fixed so i can update it on my website and the xtras site. wunderwood@mac.com

At some point I'll fix the rest of the icons.

How do you file transfer directories and folders? I'm gonna kick myself it it's something really easy.

Thanks,

Archive them first, in the Finder. Control-click, "Create archive of X"
