Interesting ThatOneGuy. I came across these forums again because I forgot how to mod AIM 6.9 when doing it for a friend and I saw your reply. Unforunately, what you said didn’t work since mine was already saved as false:
aimUpdateBox.setAttribute(“path”, path, false);
However, thank you for leading me to the bl file because two lines below there is a line that reads:
aimUpdateBox.collapsed = false;
If this is changed to true, then it removes the AIM Update bar that has plagued my buddy list for the past year.
Most of my friends don’t update their AIM because of all the unnecessary extras that are added every version, and my friends aren’t the type of people to comment on someone’s status message even if they did update. They just IM me, saying something. And like I said, I don’t like the UI of AIM 7. The buddy list is too fat and cannot be resized to be thinner, and is just not aesthetically pleasing to me.
Moreover, I REALLY don’t like the new IM window layout. I don’t need the larger buddy icons because none of my friends use buddy icons. We use AIM to talk to each other, not for all the unnecessary stuff like the game plugins and lifestream and what not.
It comes down to preference. I prefer AIM 6.9. My feedback would simply be to make it look like AIM 6.9. It’s cool that AIM 7 uses less resources but it’s not like AIM 6.9 is eating my computer. My computer can handle it. Thus, it’d be cool if I could remove the annoying AIM Update button and the top 4 square buttons. Then AIM 6.9 would be as good as an AIM version could be.
I have the same problem. I already tried AIM 7 and I didn’t like it very much. I don’t need lifestream and I prefer the UI for the buddy list and IM windows of AIM 6.9 over AIM 7. AIM 6.9 looks good with the ads and bottom plugins removed. There has to be some file that can be deleted or altered so that the AIM Update bar can be removed. If the top buttons were able to be removed too like the bottom plugin buttons, it’d be perfect.
