Description

Taz is possibly the sharpest and sleekest messagestyle I have made to date. Combining features from all my previous themes as well a meticulous attention to the tiniest details, Taz has been almost a month in the making, far longer than any of my themes.

I just have one request, if you like the theme and have twitter, give a shout out to my inspiration @tazzieeee and tell her you liked the theme!

Well, enough rambling, full view the promo shot to see what you're getting.

As usual, includes
- Light and Dark variants
- Native display picture and header toggling
- New glowing animations on status bars
- smoother fading in messages
- Sleek and stylish background image for when there are no messages in the window (seriously, turn off showing history and see it!)

Changes

V1.02
-Fixed colours of Mention blocks in Dark variant
-Fixed consecutive Mention backgrounds
-Minor colour adjustments
-Modified JS used for header and scrolling (RESTART ADIUM AFTER INSTALL)
-Fixed topic headers (or atleast implemented a somewhat better solution )

V1.01
-minor bugfix for service status colour on dark variant.

Best message style I've ever seen. Keep it up. You improved on Fluffy as well, with the black text on the dark variant and overall color balance.

Fantastic!

Just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of this theme, very well put together. Just out of curiosity, how did you go about carbonizing your message window (the metal surrounding the input box)?

# by aone on 09/22/11 at 17:09:06

go to , system preferences, general, appearance and set it to graphite ;)

There seems to be a bug that if someone in a conversation sends you a message after midnight, the messages don't scroll up like they normally should.

# by batmanppc on 05/30/11 at 20:56:12

I am seeing the same issue

# by Tex-Twil on 06/17/11 at 08:03:57

I like it as well. How can I change the background of the message box though ? The default is not so nice.

# by Tex-Twil on 06/17/11 at 08:05:33

ok I've found it :)

You should do a contact list style in a same way !

# by tzikis on 07/05/11 at 22:02:32

I am totally in love with this theme. You should definitely do a contact list as Tex-Twil said

# by fuzzy76 on 07/27/11 at 13:49:38

Awesome! My only wish is for a "compact" variant with nicks on the same line as the text, more suitable for IRC chats. Busy channels require more information density.

# by aristidesfl on 07/31/11 at 06:14:51

No need for scroll bar anymore.. Lion's is pretty sleek

# by pritthish on 10/04/11 at 06:39:23

sadly, adium doesn't change the overlay scrollbars colour based on the background colour set in my theme, so the dark version uses a black scrollbar too. thats why I'm reluctant to remove my custom scrollbars.

# by aristidesfl on 07/31/11 at 06:46:03

I wish there was a compact variant of this to use in group chats and IRC.
I guess I will have to make one myself if pritthish doesn't say anything..

# by eddz on 08/28/11 at 18:12:20

Hey, how'd you get the window to be styled that way. I have the message theme but the message entry area are still the built-in adium ones.

# by pritthish on 10/04/11 at 06:38:07

the window mod was something called iDium. but it is incompatible with the latest adium build

# by xja on 09/09/11 at 22:49:21

Hi, nice message style!
My suggestion is to put in an option to alternate buddy icons, you should also make a contact list style as well.

Bye.

If I may leave some feedback here: the background moves away with rubber-band scrolling in Lion (revealing the white background behind the lovely black wallpaper textures). Perhaps a minor issue, but something that plagues me nonetheless.

# by pritthish on 10/04/11 at 06:37:18

sadly, that is an issue with adium. nothing i can do about it.

# by obloquial on 10/04/11 at 06:42:07

Blast, alright. But much appreciated for your exceedingly quick reply. No worries, I reckon I'm still set on using this lovely message style.

# by Jericon on 12/10/11 at 00:00:26

I have an issue where everything in this theme shows "(null)" Other themes work just fine.

Any ideas?

# by peang on 01/20/12 at 13:16:15

hey, how do you hide the icon on messaging toolbar ?

# by peang on 01/20/12 at 13:16:56

solved -__-

# by Detmud on 01/25/13 at 23:09:52

There is an Bug on Retina Displays in this Theme, can you pls fix it ?

# by Detmud on 01/25/13 at 23:40:49

AHH The Bug is this.
.content img {
margin-top:-2px;
padding:0px;
vertical-align:bottom;
height:auto !important;
width:auto !important;
}

@Detmud Thanks for the updated theme! Question for you. I can't for the life of me find where the code for the datestamp header in taz is. Referring to this: http://www.adiumxtras.com/images/pict...e_12411.png

I'm trying to customize the iMessages theme with a time header like Taz has, and a "typing indicator" icon like xblaze has. Any help would be amazing.
