    Can anyone post up a screenshot of theur Miranda, I tried going on their site to take a look at some skins, but they don't really post previews of them.

    Rather not install another IM client. Just curious as to how skinnable Miranda is compared to Digsby.

    The thing is, I don't use IM all that much, and so skinning is not a big priority with me. :p

    Well I started messing with Mirandi... definately more complicating than the rest as far as themes/skin. I found a theme I want to try but its taking me searching forums to figure out how to just use it. Way too much work IMO just for a theme.

    I really skinned my Miranda IM down. I have a transparent skin with all menus and details and icons removed for the cleanest view.

    Only thing I don't like about Pidgin is that you can't hide the application from showing on then taskbar by start button. I am only of those people that always has their IM client open on the side, and I hate having it take up space at the bottom.

    Whoa, nice skin. I use Miranda + AIM, switched to Miranda in hopes of customizing it but it is far too confusing...how did you get it looking like that? I'd love a nice black transparent bg to go on my desktop :rolleyes:
