I was wondering how everyone has customized his/her Miranda IM.
Mine is pretty basic, I don't know how to apply skins and such things...
Please post what you have here

No useless buttons, just list.

Nice one, but it seems like we're the only two on the forum using Miranda

Ive thought about it many times, but never got round to changing from messenger. What are the Pro's and cons over messenger?

I use it mainly for IRC (to be honest only for IRC ).
So I can't tell you the pro's/cons over MSN Messenger...

messenger, icq, etc got only one protocol. Miranda lighter (2mb in memory), no banners, can use many protocols (I'm using ICQ, NetSend, Ping - pinging some servers), customizable...

The file transfers over MSN suck though...

Try this cool plugin, it works fine here, and you can skin miranda using it
