I don't like iChat cuz i tried so hard, but my font colors wouldnt change and also non-iChat aim users can't see profile. i dont like AOL AIM 4.7. I want to dl and install GAIM, but dunno which package to dl. tar? tgz? bgz?
Actually, it doesn't matter, at least between those three (as long as it's the Mac OS X version) - StuffIt Expander can decompress/decode/unarchive ALL THREE formats (I'm guessing you meant bz2, not bgz). StuffIt Expander can also handle its own .sit and .sitx formats, as well as .zip, .rar, .Z, and a bunch of others.GiantsFan said:I don't like iChat cuz i tried so hard, but my font colors wouldnt change and also non-iChat aim users can't see profile. i dont like AOL AIM 4.7.

thanks
abhishekit said:k thanks, one more question.
how do we set it to take the pic from the address book, in place of the default duck icon?
thanks
MacFan26 said:You either have to type the symbol, or there's a "Insert emoticon" under the edit menu. I don't think you can have a menu in the chat window. That would be nice though.
easiest way is to right click the icon and select your message. i love the itunes integration. i always say "getting clean in the shower listening to %_track by %_artist. it looks at itunes and fills in the track and artist, real slick.abhishekit said:another question about adium
how do you really set your status as away?
i hv gone into prefs, and set an away message, and an auto response. .but still it doesnt show my status as away?
edit: dont bother, i found it..
thanks
