Of course i changed it to full size somehow:) and now it is full screen or no screen at all, any way of setting it all back to default without having to add accounts etc?

just drag the bottom right corner of the window, as you do with any app!!

Sorry, I miss read, thought you just ment newby to Adium. Welcome tot he wonderful world of Mac by the way, and sorry if I came across as patronising!!

Yeah, but the bottom right corner of the window does that in PC and Linux apps too. Unless you've never used a computer before.

Actually, I know plenty of Windoze users who have never resized a window apart from clicking the fullscreen/windowed button.

I don't know if any of you ever switched, or remember switching, but when I first did, I couldn't get over the whole no maximizing concept. I can understand why it would confuse him that "un-maximize" just makes it disappear.

Well, minimize/maximize is different from resize, in both OS X and windoze. I think the only point of confusion is that the minimize button on windoze is the inner-most one and the resize button is the middle one, but those are flipped in OS X. I imagine that this would only be a problem for the first few times when the button is clicked without looking at the pictures, because the X, -, and + symbols seem fairly intuitive to me.

For some reason, Win users always has their so called "full mode" on, and it's completly useless. Might be because it doesn't have the nifty shadows like we do

Yes, I too have noticed the extreme waste of screen real estate on a lot of windoze machines. I don't know why they even bother having a wallpaper when they can never see it.

Exactly, it's only in the beginning. Then either IE or firefox pops-up.
Or if they are using Photoshop, it covers the whole screen.
But then thing is, on windows it get cluttered.

And even when nothing's open - there's icons all over the desktop. I once saw a windoze machine that had a family picture as the wallpaper, and the user had to arrange the icons in a strange fashion so that the people's faces were not covered.
