Do you mean like.. automatically be selected, or you don't know how to switch tabs?
if it's the former, I dunno.
if it's the latter, just click on the tab or command -> or command <- over. it's all good.
(apple thingiee left and apple thingiee right, put into better english.. haha)
I really like adium but unfortunately they make it impossible for me to use because there is no file transfer option and i am constantly transferring files...
File transfer is improved (improved, not necessarily completely fixed) in Adium 0.85, which will be released soon.
I dont think there is an option to do that as far as I know, it will be great thoughairbourne said:I cant figure out how to make it so whenever i recieve a message on Adium it will not switch to the conversation that it is recieving the message from. Can anyone help???
I use file transfer quite a bit and have never had any problems!
The only thing I don't like... is that if the person you are chatting to you doesn't necessarily tell you they are about to send you a file... then the transfer window thingie... is often hidden underneath all the other active apps / windows open.

Thats a pretty big problem, but not as big as the one i'm having which is the transfer box never appears on the other persons screen. It simply des not work. I have tried many times to transfer things through adium and not one did anything get downloaded. not one kb!
A little OT...
so I'm assuming that all of you posting use Adium? Do you like it a lot more than iChat? I just... really like the way iChat looks w/ its adorable speech bubbles and whatnot. But if you all really really like Adium, maybe I will give it a shot.

The best of both worlds.
As for the iChat/Adium comparison I like Adium quite a bit. iChat does have more of an Apple feel to it, but Adium is good. If iChat got tabbed-IM windows and logging I might consider switching back. I do like the multi-network support, but I only know 2 people on MSN's network though. I wish Trillian was ported to OS X - that IM client kicks @ss!
MacRumors' own MBHockey created an iChat-like, brushed metal skin for Adium. I've been using it for a long time now, looks great.devilot76 said:

i used to use adium exclusively and didnt ever open ichat on my ibook for almost 3 months, but i think i prefer ichat right now, if only because it's new to me. they're both good programs, but sometimes i think windowed browsing is superior to tabbed browsing...

I skinned mine to have the speech bubbles!!
adiumxtras.com is AWESOME! When I get a new message, the dock duck (say that 3 times fast) plays the violin! it's so cute!
So much the customizable, but... the file transfers DO suck. If anyone has to send me anything, I just tell them to GMail it.
