How is it possible to stylise messages?
As of right now, the client supports two themes - Simple and Adium. The first uses simplified HTML and does not support animated emotes, although is much less memory-consuming.
Adium allows full HTML and JavaSсript support for message display, supports animated emotes, but is more expensive on the memory. .
You can find more Adium styles
here. To install a theme simply install the theme catalog (Usually located in the core of the downloaded archive and ends with .AdiumMessageStyle) into the /adiummessagestyles folder.
Before installing the theme you can select what type of messages it will apply to (As of right now theme changes can affect conversations and conferences), then choose the type of theme and which theme to use.
Each theme has the following respective parameters:
Option - The different variants of the theme, usually with different colors and arrangements.
Font - The theme’s primary font.
Background color - The theme’s background color, although not all themes allow to change this.
Background image - The theme’s background image, which will be shown under the message. Not supported by all themes.
After changing the theme, all the messages its type refers to will be deleted and readded. The message information will be taken from the archive, therefore unarchived messages will be deleted.
Please remember that not all themes are compatible with conferences.
Manually Setting up Coordinates
In order to manually set up your location, click on the desired location on the map with the right mouse button, and open up the submenu. Click on the line with the compass saying "I’m Here”. After this, these coordinates will be sent over to other contacts.
Map Search
Open up the search menu. This can be one by clicking the pop-up menu in the line above the roster
or the context menu right above the map (Click the right mouse button while holding the cursor above the map).
Choose the search service in the menu, type in the search criteria and hit "search".
If found, the search results should appear in the window. Double clicking the icon will bring the user to its location on the map.
Adding an «ICQ» transport
Although there are many transports, the one we use is ”icq.jabbers.org.ru".
Hover the mouse on the top line of the roster (contact list) - your contact name. Open up the context menu.
Choose the line "Overview of services".
In the service browser, fill the «element» box with the transport to "ICQ" (icq.jabbers.org.ru), and hit "Enter". A connection to the transport should now be established.
Hit – «Registration» in the left of the gray box and type in your ICQ username and password. Hit "Ok".
In the "settings" menu choose the "Contact List" section and hit the checkbox - "Automatically accept authorization requests" while authorisation occurs.
Switching between transports
If you need to switch between transports, this can be done easily in automatic mode. The client will delete the previous authorisation form and open up the new one. After a successful registration all your contacts will be transferred, along with your subscriptions and message history.
