Adium gets out of beta!

This is crazy, next you'll be telling me VLC has hit 1.0 :)

Seriously, good news, the Adium devs are great guys, more power to them. I think I first used Adium in the old 1.6 series before they switched to being AdiumX and dropped back to sub 1.0. Seriously great software, and if it did vid chat It's be pretty much unarguably the best chat software on Mac. I've already downloaded it and will mess around with it later on. I must donate to those guys actually.
 
Ah, a final version. :) Now's the time for me to try it out again. It still feels a little awkward in places, but overall I like it. And the fact that it can now send and receive files as well is a very good thing indeed. I just hate the icon. Five colour options? Give me one without that duck, please. :)

Click to expand...

Haha yea, the duck I've always thought was a bit gaudy. People seem to like it though. I personally use the 3-D cube icon called "Woblo"; It's a nifty change from the quacker...
 
Frkye: You can get different dock icons here (plus the same site hosts contact list styles, message window styles etc)
 
and file sharing has been there for years! :P

they removed the 'Plastic' message window style! why?! and the downloadable Xtras one is a previous, buggier version... why do developers take a step backward...?
 
yeah, last time i tried, it simply didn't work with my contacts. although i grant you it was some time ago.
 
It used to work better with some networks over others, and often my friend could only send files to me on Adium if he logged on with ichat. They claim its generally stable now, I'll test it this week. Now if only they could get video.... (but i know this is very challenging)
 
Well, I finally downloaded and installed it and so far I'm liking it a lot, at least from a cosmetic standpoint. I'll have to play around with it more before I can say anything about its other features.
 
I just had to post this, after mentioning it to Fryke I decided maybe I could do with a break from the Green Duck dock icon, and i found this, which being that oddest of things, a British Red Sox fan, I found unbelievably cool.
 
Actually, I don't mind the duck icon. The duck sound, however, is another story (thank God for Growl). :D
 
Ah and the new invisible status rocks.
Weird enough when people use iChat of 10.4 I will show as offline, but if they are using iChat of 10.3 then I show away instead of offline.
