It's still there in 0.7, sorry, not at my Mac to tell you where though, perhaps someone else can help?Windowlicker said:actually the only thing that was missing is translucency. That was one of the best things about the interface on 0.63.
Diatribe said:Unfortunately audio/video chat is still a good while away and when it arrives it's not known whether it'll reach the quality of ichat.
There's just something about it that doesn't make me like having two clients open...
mkrishnan said:Totally agree...and wish there was some good way to get MSN webcamming on my Mac. I also can't wait to try initiating a multi-person chat from Adium. That's another feature I used that drove me to MSN msngr or iChat periodically....
But the contact list is very nice, although I had to spend about 10-15 minutes massaging it to get it back on the screen at once. Some of the size adjustment sliders seem kind of goofy -- I find them very hard to control, and the size limitations are strange. So I wanted my contact list in a single full screen height column, with everyone showing, with no scroll bar. I had that fine in 0.63, and I got in 0.7, but I had to go to an 8 point font and get rid of the avatars / status icons to make it fit, because they couldn't size down beyond 12x12. Which admittedly is just a slightly cuter looking version of what I had with 0.63. But still nice.
Diatribe said:We'll see when iChat 3.0 is out with Jabber support if there'd be a possibility for a plugin that could enable msn or yahoo.
For now I will stay with iChat and just ignore everyone on msn because I know quite some people that I do video/audio-chatting with but I do have to agree that Adium is very nice.
Time for a new poll maybe...neoelectronaut said:So what's better...this or Fire?
mms said:The 0.7 isn't really a beta. It's a solid release that has had many betas and several release candidates before it. I've been watching the development and can say the developers are doing a great job, and this is a major release for Adium, with many new features, not just further bug fixes.
jet3004 said:If it's not 1.0 or higher...It's beta. No matter how many new features it has, if they can't release a set build at 1.0, then SOMETHING is wrong. What are they waiting for? The new iChat in Tiger to blow them out of the water?

mkrishnan said:Hmmm...interesting...so Jabber can gateway to an MSN chat server?
Yeah, I use Adium primarily because I have too many friends on MSN....But I don't really do video / audio chatting...I'd like to though.
jet3004 said:It's quite ridiculous that a software company keeps releasing a title in beta, time after time, again. It's stupid that they can't even commit to a solid 1.0 build. Until they have something concrete, and besides that, something special and really unique, iChat is the only way to go for me...Especially the new iChat in Tiger...
