This is my Adium setup. The contact list style copies iTunes 6.

This is my 'Metal Adium' setup, I'm enjoying it so far - there's just something not right about the contact list, so I'm trying to fix it.

I like it. :) I think... the thing that isn't quite right is the font... Can you set it to be the system font? Then it might be perfect. :)

What do you mean by the "system font". (By the way, I agree the problem is the font. Hmm..)

Helvetica or whatever it's called. Try that...haha. unless that's what it is...but the system usually uses helvetica..right? Or maybe he means an Apple font.

That's it with Helvetica. Which of the two do you think works better?

I like to keep it simple.

Silkscreen font.

Unchecked "Show Groups" under "View"

Black.

I don't really have a lot of people to talk to, so being simple is nice.

Looks nice, but Helvetica's not the system font. Look for Lucida Grande; that's what Apple uses in the Mac OS X menus and actually in the iChat contact list as well.

Thanks.

Shrimp, I like your setup. I used to have mine like that, but I'm just trying something different.

Yes, sorry, I meant the System font, but I didn't know which font that was, so I thought I'd just be obtuse. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Changed the setup - ditched metal adium and went for the regular Adium app. It's normally docked in the bottom left corner, but it was easier to show with it moved off it.
