Did you know that iPhone backgrounds make great backgrounds for chat windows in Adium? See for yourself.
It’s really simple to do too. Here’s how.
1 – Grab a cool iPhone background. Here is the blue iPhone background I’m using.
2 – Open Adium and go to the preferences and click on the messages area.
3 – See that area for a custom background? Check the box and drag and drop your iPhone background in there.
Wa la. You’re done!
There are a few things to keep in mind.
First, the width of iPhone backgrounds are a bit limiting. Your window will need to be a fixed width or your background will need to wrap nicely. The window is not to skinny though. Also, most iPhone backgrounds don’t repeat well vertically. Some do though, so pick a nice one.
That’s it. Enjoy!
How do I remove picture so I can have background made out of solid color?
That’s in the settings. Uncheck the ‘use custom background image’
Thanks for the reply, but that’s not it. I already know, I just had to use cmd+backspace while background was selected to delete picture and have only custom colors
BTW smooth operator with classic variant and black color set to 85% opacity look sweeeeet
