Yup,

Using the first layout, loving it.

Thanks again for sharing

i tried to mod the im window but when i opened the modded file up and looked at it against the original there was too many differences, spent 4 hours looking at them!
also i dont know where the im file is to mod it anyway

anyone got this working for IM messages?

where's the problem?
got it working in 30 seconds. ^^

here you go:
(it's left-right without bubble-alignment - like my first sms mod)

Thanks!
This is what i came up finally, but can u help me how to get my avatar all to the left....before nick and message?

you moved the avatar-blocks right into the bubble-block.
it only has to be in the container-block (and before or behind the bubble-block ^^)

with blocks i mean lines of code with the same topic (for example: container, avatar, bubble, text, time, ...) which are encircled by <div> ... </div> tags.
(as you see you should only mark block which look like <div> ... </div> or <div> <div> ... </div> </div> and so on.... in short: make sure that the open-tag has an end-tag at the end of the marked part)

edit: of course you can move <span> ... </span> blocks around too. the alignment is done via the css-file.

one of the first google search results - a explanation and tutorial on div and span: http://www.html.net/tutorials/CSS/lesson8.asp

I tried to do this many hours and ways but still didn't get this right So i went back to orginal, but thanks for your help.

agreed...........

best config to date

i've uploaded your wanted IM layout with the avatars left-right a few posts above. so you don't have to use the original one.

edit: if anyone wants the IM layout with aligned bubbles you could try it by having a look at my sms mod css-file. it's nearly the same for all views. just the names are a bit different. ^^
(if it doesn't work for you i could take a look later too...)
