    Hey, I've been using AIM for a while now, and while I really like having the window docked to the side of my screen, I find that it takes up an unnecessarily large amount of space. Is there any hack or option to be able to resize the AIM window to be thinner than the minimum?

    you could just hit the X at the top, so it just minimizes it? it doesn't actually close it, just puts it in the list of programs next to your computer clock

    It's just my personal preference that I have it be a slimmer window. I also have the lower resolution than your screen so it takes up more space than it would on your laptop.

    Kickace:
    Yeah, I know that's an option, but I like having it on the side of my screen for quick access. I also keep my taskbar hidden on the side of my screen (not autohide) so its not entirely convenient.

    Look through the skin files:

    C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\

    They're located in various folders under that file path.
