Problem customizing my Contact list"Buddy List"

Post by Liquid007 »

I have a problem, I do not know how to make my contact list into some different like from the extra stuff. I found this look for my contact list ,but after I install it; And I go to Adium-->Preference-->Apperance. So I found the colors of the install, but when I click on it. it just changes the color of the bars. However, It does not change anything but the bar. I really need some help. I have been trying all day long. I am running a PPC G5 Ghz 1.6, also running OSX 10.3.9. Thank you for your co-opperration.

One of the biggest changes to look you can make is to drop the boarder of the window. Under that appearance tab, try selecting "Boarderless window" or "group bubbles" - that usually makes a big difference to the look of the contact list.

Here is the link of the one I want. URL: http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=x ... ra_id=2055 So your saying, that the install is only a sample then you have to mix and match to get it?

I downloaded the extra in question, try these settings to simulate the look:

obviously feel free to use your own emoticon and status icons, i just slapped that togethehr really fast to try to make it look remotely like the preview screenshot on the extras page.
