Does anyone know how to set the Adium buddy list to 0% opacity? The lowest it can go right now is 5%, but I know you can set it lower by manually editing some files.

Nevermind: Figured it out. For those curious, Edit /Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/Appearance.plist by changing the opacity setting to a very small number.

what message style is that caitlyn? me gusta.

Thanks. It's kinda like an Adium plugin. Called "Metal Adium". Could probably google it. If not, I'll try to find a link for ya.

I'm using Adium X 0.89. When I go into the preferences > advanced tab > contacts list, and hover the pointer over the "show window shadow" option, I get a tool tip that says "Stay close to the Vorlon."

edit - seems to be a babylon 5 quote: "Stay close to the Vorlon, and watch out for shadows. They move when you're not looking at them." but i'm still confused.

They really need to add support for completely transparent thing. Fluck 5%.

The thing is though that below a certain transparency OS X doesn't let windows be clickable anymore. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I'll upload my screen later, for now you can check my xtras in my sig, as this is what I am using.

I use that message window theme too. Nice.

Is that a downloadable theme? I like it. Very elegant. And do you seriously have your contact list sorted into guys and girls? That's so 1950s cute.

 

[calebjohnston]

It's actually a combination of completely standard options. If you want more details, feel free to PM me and let me know.

+ Yeah, I'm old school. Guys and Girls all the way.

 

[mkrishnan]

I might take you up on that. I'll play around some too.

Now I'm tempted to split my contacts into a "this is for the G's" and a "this is for the Hustlas" section.

 

[calebjohnston]

haha, sounds good man. enjoy

Here's mine. I left the message window alone mostly, so didn't bother posting it. I happen to particularly like my Adium Icon (better than the duck), so here it is with part of the dock as well. Yes, those are two different desktops, they change once a minute so it's easy to get screenshots with different ones.

ah, i missed that movie.

slash book?

Caleb, I tried to get a look like yours, but I just have too many contacts. So I'm never going to get rid of having a scroll bar on my iBook. I guess on my iMac I don't though. Hmmm...

Right now I copied the plist for Adium from my iBook to my iMac. So it's actually 100% the same. But I could make some modifications...

 

[calebjohnston]

Heh, I don't talk to many people online so I don't have many contacts. Having a scroll bar would definetely ruin the appearance of the contact list. oh well :|.

To each, his own. Adium's extras section of their site has plenty of good styles.

 

[calebjohnston]

For anyone interested, mine is basically the following.

8% Opacity. Sized to fit vertically/horizontally. Normal list layout. Group Bubbles. Color theme = white for the background of the contact list. Helvetica Neue 11 font. Other than that, check out the more advanced options in List Layout, you'll be able to adjust spacing and remove icons and all that.

Gotta love Adium's customization opportunities.
