Adium For Windows

Post by sc0pe »

I think it would be really cool if you could make a version for windows. I was looking at it on my friends Mac and it looked pretty sick. If you could make one that would be awsome, but if it requires too much re-programing its alrite.
Thanks,
Peter Miller

Short answer: Sorry, but it's very unlikely.

Longer answer: Adium is written using a lot of MacOS X - specific stuff.

In-Depth answer: do a forum search, and you'll find this is pretty well covered already.

Never saw it before… and I read all of these threads personally, unless they're before 12/03/04
Use Gaim, the "brother" of Adium for Linux/Windows.

Actually, this has been discussed before. But yeah, Adium is written almost entirely in Cocoa, so a version for Windows is just about as likely as an x86 version of Mac OS X.

Switch to Mac....now. They're like $500 (Mac Mini). You can prolly get that by selling your PC.

If you want something close to ADium for windows,
try Miranda version 0.4 rc 2 (or better), with tabsram plugin and IEview plugin, you will be able to do the same things that adium does!...

here is a link for a "contactlist like" for Miranda

Mac OS 8.1 Beta :)

Well, a "secret" version of Mac OS 8 was done for x86.
But they never released it to the public.

Miranda actually looks really cool - in that it can be made to look like Adium :D

Someone ported one of my message views - poor sod had to redesign it as an html table, though, because IE sucks at css... :lol:

Hmm... okay, so I searched, and didn't find anything useful other than this thread. I know I've seen it lots; I guess in the old forums.

hmm.. two issues I guess:

1) not seeing tabs right off the bat here..

2) How can I connect to multiple accounts on the same protocol?
