What a great interface! I have a ton of skins for the 2005 version, and besides that, as I understand it, you can create your own skin with the desired images, icons, and add emoticons to your liking (hmm, I have a Vader emoticon facing off against Luke). So, it's a shame to miss out; it's a really cool interface!

The selfish user violated the license agreements of several plugins and the core of Miranda itself. He was repeatedly pointed out to this, but he ignored all comments and requests.

HotCoffee violates the license of Mira.

And how did he manage to violate something? They would have taken him to court, otherwise what is the point of making verbal claims?
In general, I tried different builds, but I only liked this one. And in general, you can add so many features to HotCoffee that nothing will remain of the previous build except the name. By the way, I don't like QIP for the same reason – its excessive simplicity and unattractive interface compared to Miranda, although I haven't used skins.

Read it ;)

Actually, I've tried different builds, but I only liked this one. And in general, you can modify HotC so much that nothing will remain of the original build except for the name.

Well, if you change everything, then what's the point of doing it using HotC?:) It's much more aesthetically pleasing to build it from scratch.

And it's more of a hassle...:p

What's Infium? I have a ton of skins for 2005, besides, as I understand it, you can create your own skin with the pictures, icons, and emoticons you like (uh-huh, I have a Vader emoticon sitting against Luke). So, it's a waste, Quip is still quite beautiful^^

Infium is more convenient. You can create skins for both, the difference is that in Infium they are packed in an archive, that's all.

ps and does Kip have problems with the appearance...?

Amaranth, Let's get these skins! :)
I think I tried to use Miranda (a while ago), but it didn't work xD

I also started with Rambler ICQ 5.1. But after that, it seemed like utter nonsense compared to QIP 2005. Then I used Infium, and after that, I couldn't go back to the old QIP 2005. I recently installed a new skin for my Infium and got a lot of aesthetic pleasure from it :) For now, I don't have any particular need for various plugins, but someday I'll try your Miranda :)

PS And I also use Jimm on my phone :)

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

There are some decent ones on the official website.

http://qip.ru/ru/skins/

You can also register on their forum; there are even more there.

I didn't like the icons on the status bars in Inferno; I tried other skins, but they're the same... ugly(((
Vikh, I also have Jimm on my mobile. I wanted to install Smaper, but it's acting up)))

In earlier versions, they were just regular, good ones :)
And I have it installed on my mobile... It's also Jim's, I think :)

I read it as "Spamer" at first :D

I've been using your Miranda for a month now, and I like it. But maybe it would be easier for everyone to switch to Skype?

1) It already has a large user base. 2) There won't be all these arguments about ICQ vs. QIP. 3) The protocol itself is more stable. 4) It has voice and video chat.

1) Half the world already uses it.

That's a lie, especially in Russia.

2) There won't be all these flame wars about ICQ vs. QIP.

What's wrong with that? :)

3) The protocol itself is more stable.

Not at all; it has tons of bugs and glitches. The most stable one now is probably Jabber...

4) It has voice and video chat.

I don't like phones, voice chats, or video chats.
I prefer written conversations.
I'm sure there are many people who understand me.

I didn't like it. Maybe it's just a matter of habit. And also, many of my real-life acquaintances can't even manage to register on Infium (although I didn't do it right away either), let alone use the relatively unpopular Skype in Russia. Therefore, the transition is not feasible for me in the near future.

Written conversations take on a slightly different character. You can express your thoughts more clearly and in detail. And also, if there's a heated argument in ICQ, the opponent can't shout over you, interrupt you, or "beat" you in any way.
