The website isn't well maintained anymore since we've kinda passed the days that people used multi-service clients. Here are some screenshots: https://www.adium.im/screenshots/images/overview.jpg https://www.adium.im/screenshots/images/overview.jpg The area inside the chat window is HTML rendered via WebKit and you can change the theme easily. The Contacts list is also HTML in the middle so that's all theme-able too. https://images.six.betanews.com/screenshots/1110403338-1.jpg https://images.six.betanews.com/screenshots/1110403338-1.jpg Here's a Contacts list that's more compact and a chat window without the top toolbar. https://adium.im/screenshots/images/overvieworange.jpg https://adium.im/screenshots/images/overvieworange.jpg Here's a more radical theming where they've gotten rid of the window around the contact list so it's floating. If you go through the Adium Xtras, you can see all sorts of chat (https://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=search&cat_id=5&sort=downloads https://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=search&cat_id=5&sort=...), contact list (https://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=cats&cat_id=4&sort=downloads https://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=cats&cat_id=4&sort=do...), and other ways of styling Adium.

> The area inside the chat window is HTML rendered via WebKit and you can change the theme easily KDE's Kopete (and after that, the now defunct KDE Telepathy) could that too. Maybe GNOME's Empathy client could that too. I agree all of that was really cool. I sorely miss those all-in-one messengers completely integrated to the desktop.

  In Kopete we even had Latex rendering plugins and auto-away plugins using motion detection :-) (I started that project decades ago and still grateful to it, as it was the start of my career in tech)

    Kopete was amazing. Still the best chat experience I've had to date. Thank you for the fantastic work.
