iChat "borrows" the Adium contact list look?

Post by div »

Apologies if this has been mentioned here before. I did a quick search but didn't find anything.
Some new Tiger screenshots were released today. Among them were these:

I don't know about anyone else, but their group dividers look very similar to another IM app I know of. ;)

Even with these changes, I still think Adium is sexier than iChat...of course. It's hard to beat the borderless contact list and the sheer range of customization options that Adium provides. Keep it up devs!

The groups have been in screenshots for a while, really not much to worry about considering how awful they look :D

There's always going to be similarity of some fashion between iChat, Proteus, Adium, and others as all function as instant messengers and there's overlapping UI and functionality in that domain.
Try my software!

Adium's Tiger contact list theme is based off the publicly released screenshots of Spotlight on apple.com.
