large, fancy skins

[Jakob]

I love adium for all that it is, and I show it off to my friends, who are windows users. My friend picked up trillian and showed off his skin he has, which is the picture below. I kind of like the way that is, but I cant find any skins for adium like that, so I started thinking, is it even possible to do that in adium? also, with the contact bar, Ive noticed you can rid of the standard bar at the top (the mac bar, not the adium bar, if you know what Im talking about- with the close, shrink and grow buttons) are you able to do the same with your chat space? Im fairly uneducated in computers (I know HTML, and I doubt that has ANYTHING to do with this ) so I thought I would ask those who DO know what theyre doing with this..
(this is the picture I was talking about:)

No. Adium does not support butchering the Mac OS X Interface.

Pretty sure this one gets a big fat "No", sorry. You can customise the contact list to a certain degree but why you'd wanna make a big screen hog like the image u linked to, I have no idea ;-)

When showing Adium to your PC huggin' friends, emphasise how it's functionality is encapsulated in the simple and easy to use interface, just like the rest of your Mac 8)

And if they give you a hard time about some aspect of Adium, just say it's pre version 1 software :-P

You can change the theme of individual apps using ShapeShifter

When you say individual apps, do you mean that you can have like, three different themes on three different programs?

From MacUpdate - ShapeShifter:

• Change the overall appearance of your operating system safely, quickly, and reliably
• Change the appearance of individual apps to match your theme and your mood
• Customize your cursors; (Mighty Mouse required)
• Customize your icons
• Experience things that haven't been possible with Mac themes before
• Quickly preview themes without actually applying them
• Use Jaguar themes in Panther effortlessly
• Install different themes for different users
• Add and remove themes effortlessly

I never tried it myself though...

Yes! Nay to butchering.

the thing that I like about it is that the bar doesnt ruin the theme, right now I have a whole classic computer theme and the mac bar ruins the look, and Xianghua, I thought the exact same thing (by the way, thanks for the replys)

we all did.

Be warned, ShapeShifter and other haxies are notorious for creating all sorts of problems. If suddenly an application on your Mac dies then that's most probably what's happened.

At WWDC, Apple said the majority of the crash reports they receive are caused by haxies and things like that.

At WWDC, Apple said the majority of the crash reports they receive are caused by haxies and things like that.

Meanwhile, here at Adium we say the majority of crash reports we receive are caused by Apple or libgaim

Of course, I can prove that claim... Apple can't unless they open their crash reporting system, but I'm not going to get up on that soapbox right now.
