Adium

Here's what Adless AIM looks like. Much better than Adium or anything else IMHO, and I get all the official aim goodies such as proper screen names, buddy icons, file transfer, etc etc etc. ...

Adium (iMac -> iChat -> AIM -> Adium)

Adium all the way! Yeah! :p

adium is the best, if only it had multi-protocol suport and aim masking so it could do file transfers.... :(

Oops! I switched off Adium! :eek: Turned it on now! :p

I love this thing. AIM looks very clean now... granted, it's no Adium in terms of minimalism, but Adium also lacks basic features like buddy icons, reading away messages, buddy actions, file transfer, etc... ...

for AOL Instant Messenging. Adium is far cleaner and more customizable than AOL's official client, but Adium lacks file transfer. ...

So Adium only uses AIM protocols? ...

Adium's client is a lot better. Have you seen Adium prefs? ...

may be nicer than proteus (difficult) but BETTER? where is ICQ support? MSN support? proteus rocks, fire too (although proteus definitely rocks better). adium is AIM without the weight plus nicer. that's not enough for ICQ people.
