This is my miranda skin to match the fantastic B0se XPMC visual style

You will need the clist modern plugin for Miranda IM to use the skin and the mydetails plugin for avatar, status message, status and nickname like in my screenshot.

the work is done taking care of details...

Version 2.0: getting minimalistic lol hope you like it ;)


The font in the screenshot is Frutiger Linotype Bold ;)

Really very nice skin. I would even say the best of the Miranda skins I have selected.

Unfortunately, there is one little detail. The blue background of the group is too busy. This works OK if you have only one group. But when you have several closed groups, they are all docked in a pile of blue bars on the top of the contact list. As a result, there is a huge block of blue just below the the blue title bar. So simulate this, here is a test, create five groups and close them all.

I think if you remove the color background of the group, for either opened or closed group. Then this skin would be very nice. To make it even more perfect, replace the text in the bottom bar (menu, on-off, add, options) by icons.

You know that very well because this is what you did for Tango Human skin

Thansk a lot for the compliments.

Now i'm workin on the v2 of this skin and many changes are to come.

I don't use grouped contact and so i did not saw the bug that you suggested.i will do some test and change something for a better view.

Last, but not the least, is very difficult to find matching icons for this skin and satisfy user's preferences, especially for this skin.

Howewer i will try to make the skin better also following your tips.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your quick feedback (also from the Tango Human skin). Please take all the time you need. These skin requests are low priority. Your life and school are more important.

In my opinion, the icons (in the bottom) you used for Tango Human are very nice. You can re-use them for XPMC.

Good luck for your exams.

Oh I forgot, Can you also please default the indentation of the list item inside the opened group by 8 pixels? (currently 0).

Currently, I set this option by: Option, Contact List, List tab, and at the bottom: set "indent groups by": change 0 to 8 pixels. It would be more logical that the skin set a default value.

Thanks in advance.

Hope you are still working on the update. Since Miranda v0.70.34, there is a row of 6 icons on the top. See picture here: [link]

When you hover the mouse on this icons on the top, the bubble says "Main Menu", "Status Menu", "Show Offline Contact", "Jabber Bookmark", "Find User", "Option".

Also, the picture in the link above also shows the backgrounds which looks blocky when several groups are closed (we discussed this in the post above).

Hope you can fix all of these and thanks in advance.
