I think i was using Beta1 from Prittish, and the scrollbars weren't working at all.
will wait patiently for the resulting new gnome-from-pritthish-working-together beta!

I'm just kidding. Look forward to the release. Take your time and make it great!
Kidding? Word from the wise, there's always a little truth in every joke.

Hmmm... I didn’t bother quoting the rest of your post, because I really was just kidding. Calm down. ![]()

Im amazed by both the interest in this project and, even more, the polite and constructive comments you all have given me.
I'll release the beta tonight, after dinner. Thanks, folks, for your input!

Download public beta here: http://www.gnomepi.com/random/iDiumPublicBeta.zip
How to use:
- Copy Resource files to Adium resource folder.
- Double-click the items in the other folder to install them.
- In Adium General preferences, set tabs to show on the left.
Known issues:
- Group chat sidebar still ugly and awkward.
- Bottom tabs: bad spacing.
- Horizontal tabs: active tab looks weird.
- People using Aqua should have brighter, bluer gradients in the sidebar.

This is just amazing. Enough said.
Gnome, May i ask what the idium.adium.plugin is for? Is it for the adding button contacts button? Just curious! Everything else is amazing. Wow..

Most of the mod is in the plugin. It overwrites Adium's drawing code with its own and provides the necessary controls for the focus ring around the text box and the autoresizing message window gradient. It also does minor cosmetic enhancements, like rounding the window corners when you have only 1 tab open.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
I just found this screenshot of a prealpha version from over a year ago. Amazing to me how long this project lay dormant, until Pritthish inspired me to pick it up again. Thanks Pritthish for the inspiration and testing, and the amazing message style!

Good job, for me this was personally more exciting than updating to Safari 5. ![]()
By the way, the bottom tab doesn't look bad in fact all it needs is a new adiumgradient with an out of focus mode. For now I made a transparent png for that image and it doesn't look too bad in my opinion. Of course it's not perfect and you can see the tab\shadow-line in the tab but to me it almost looks like it's meant to look like that. I actually prefer it this way than how I initially tried to make a new non-transparent adiumgradient.png which only looked correct with one window state.

Cuddlebot: It appears automatically for contacts that have more than one screenname associated with them.

Re: *UPDATED* 08/06/2010 [Mod] iDium - iChat message windows for Adium
I found a few bugs, and would love to share them with you
Not with the message windows, but the contact list. I think the message window is flawless despite your struggles with the tabs.
SHould i post them here? or pm you?
EDIT:
Contact List bugs:
Link 1: http://img716.imageshack.us/f/screensho … 8at805.png
Just when changing my name display name. It writes over my previous display name. (link 1)
Link 2: http://img375.imageshack.us/f/screensho … 8at806.png
To get rid of it. i just pressed the 'return and enter' on my keyboard. (link 2)
Link 3: http://img132.imageshack.us/f/screensho … 8at808.png
Searching names on contact list. I would get this. the allignment of the search button is incorrect? (link 3)
Anyway, I really don't use the regular window for my contact list. I use the group bubbles. But I thought I should tell you!
Thanks for tbeta release..! i'm totally in love with the add button, and the message window. simply amazing!
