Black is too strong.

I must agree... maybe a dark gray/blue, like appears in the gradient for the incoming text's bubble/block/thing. Also, the gradients on the sides of the date-separator are a little weird.

On a different note: The icon you gave this could make a sweet dock icon (though, being a traditionalist, I probably wouldn't use it).

thanks for the feedback ^^ . i was waiting for a second comment before i went ahead and did some changes to the black. to me, it seemed like it was more bbx mercury x style, but ah well. i'll make some adjustments for the next version. most likely by next tuesday. and, that could make a neat dock icon... never thought of making a dock icon before... i may do that later on.

if you look in at the readme provided w/ BBX Mercury, you'll see that the color of the menus is provided. Its much easier on the eyes than black.

Personally, I like the black, myself, but for some reason I didn't think of not using black in the status images when people said they didn't like the black *hits self*
And thanks for letting me know that, digital_corpus! I'm going to check that out in a few minutes and then change the color for the status images to work better for the light variant ^^

No problem, I use BBX Mercury as my main theme anyhow. I'd love to see this fit in right.

As soon as I installed this Adium started crashing whenever I went to the message prefs. Does anyone know how I can unistall this add-on? I have tried digging around the package contents, but I can't find it.

that's really weird. i can tell you, though, it probably doesn't have anything to do w/ the theme. to uninstall it, just go to library/application support/adium 2.0/message styles/

Thank you, you were right it was not the theme, it was the voice comand stuff I was fooling with and had open :)

Nice theme. I like the dark.
