Man, that is an example of graceful degradation, just not what we usually understand this to mean. - Bubbles. Seriously? The 2005's want their failed metaphors

- Bubbles. Seriously? The 2005's want their failed metaphors back. Thanks, the list-and-icons Adium presents are way more useful
- stamp-sized images to disturb the text flow. Great idea, please forget about it right now.
Adium is completely unsexy, and this is a good thing. I don't need a chat application to take over my whole screen, this is not Facebook Home.
Next up: Terminal.app reborn: output of Unix commands grouped by "conversation" - because is looks so much nicer. Icons for every shell command - much sexier looking.
- mcrittenden 14y agoYour Terminal.app reborn example sort of reminds me of https://github.com/unconed/TermKit https://github.com/unconed/TermKit
- iSnow 14y agoThanks, I need a Whiskey now ;)
- mynameisvlad 14y agoEveryone is not you. Some people like to have a chat application take up the whole screen. And chat bubbles are alive and well, for example in Apple's own Messages.app
- workbench 14y agoI refuse to believe there is a single person on earth who actually likes the OS X Messages.app
- lightgreen 14y agoI switched from Adium to Messages because I haven't found a way to turn off annoying dock animation of Adium when Internet is offline or when jabber server is down. Later I found that Messages' proprietary protocol that synchronizes chats on Mac and iPhone is very convenient, and most of my contacts have iPhones or Macs. So today I almost don't use jabber. Sad but true.
- iSnow 14y ago>I haven't found a way to turn off annoying dock animation of Adium Yeah, my one peeve with Adium. I ended up going into the application package and replacing all the PNGs that make up the animation with the first one. Problem solved.
- mynameisvlad 14y agoI love it for iMessages. The ability to read, and reply to all my iMessages from OSX is brilliant. It's Jabber support is horrendous though. I've been getting messages to it on time, not at all, or delayed. Depending on its mood.
