2. Right click on Miranda icon in the tray and select Main Menu >> Version Information.
3. Copy the report generated by the plugin into your post.

Thanks for the info :)

It's a Modern Contact List skin, so you need to replace your clist_nicer plugin (btw it's a bit outdated - there's a newer release specifically for Miranda 0.7.x) with clist_modern. For a link to the plugin please refer to the following thread: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=7758 (look under "Interface")

After installing clist_modern, you may want to disable Skin editor. It's part of a clist_nicer release. You can disable a plugin through Miranda IM Options >> Plugins (requires a restart).

The skin can be installed through Miranda IM Options >> Customize >> Contact List Skin

If the skin does not show up in the list, click on the "Browse" button and navigate to the folder where the skin has been extracted to. Select the .msf file, and when it shows up in the list hit the "Apply" button.

Please remember to backup your database (profile_name.dat file) before installing any skins. The location of the database can be found in a versioninfo report (so it's C:\Documents and Settings\Nguyen Tran Hong Ha\Application Data\Miranda in your case).

I'm afraid I don't know where it can be downloaded from. Sorry.

Yeah! I do it :D Thank you very much, Tara. I found these plugin in interface about 4 hours but I can't do it. Thank for your help again.

Looks really nice :)

If you'd like to install clist_modern toolbar icons, you can get them from the developer's site: http://fyr.mirandaim.ru/archive/test_version/ (look for "toolbar_icons.rar")

Extract toolbar_icons.dll to the Icons folder and it will get loaded after a restart (or you can load it manually through Miranda IM Options >> Customize >> Icons >> Toolbar).

Some small question, again :D. Please watch picture, Tara.

So you want to change the colour of status messages on the contact list? Try Miranda IM Options >> Customize >> List Text >> Second line (or "Third line", depending on where status messages are displayed in your Miranda).

As for the message window, I'm not sure what you mean I'm afraid ... are you complaining that it's not transparent or are you asking how to install a non-transparent theme?

Anyway, you seem to be using the default SRMM plugin and there are no special themes for it. So, what exactly would you like to achieve? Do you want to change the look of the message window frames? Or do you want to make it transparent? If you'd like the window to be transparent, you could try Scriver or tabSRMM instead. If you'd like to change the look of the message window frames and the title bar, you'd need to replace SRMM with tabSRMM and install an appropriate tabSRMM skin/theme.

For links to the plugins please see this list: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=7758 (look under "Message Dialogs")

I can't change color for message dialog. I found out color board but it only changed color for nickname.

Transparent: Like yahoo, when I changed skin, everything about interface would change. But Miranda don't change dialog message.
