But funny aye, a friend sent me a screen shot of her MSN chat (windogs of course), was taking up about 85% of her screen. I sent her a screen shot of Adium and set as 50% transparent on my screen, she was shocked

the MSN hack through ichat is that - a hack. it's very limited in use, and is closer to being a proof-of-concept than actually an adium replacemnt, and doesn't suppot video, audio, buddy pictures, complex smileys...or anything really

the mac isn't online atm, so a buddy list screen grab is not possible, however it works on the principal that if you get all your windows to budge up about 3/4 of an inch on the right (opening up a space down the right hand side) then this can be used as adium status.

configure the list to go into bubbles (big ones) with the user picture on the hard right. align text to go on the left, justified to the right, (but not the bubble wrap-around) and drag the whole thing to the top right (play with the alignment to the top of the screen). resize all the commonly open windows (safari, itunes, iphoto etc) to the defined line of the picture/text, so when using other programs, all you see are the pictures of people currently online (i have adium only show me online people, it's all i care about).

done.

How about Skype chat? I use it for conference chats and has history functionality that allows you to open the whole chat as an HTML file.
