I’m currently working on a replacement for Adium’s message view. The way the current view is designed it requires all sorts of custom code to get basic functionality working. It’s going to take a lot of work to make the current view feel ‘normal’, and even then it will always behave slightly odd.
Recently, I’ve learned a new trick for dealing with text views. I should be able to recreate the same kind of look without missing out on any of the basic cocoa behavior, and we can keep features such as clickable smileys as well.
The message view, for me, is currently the most frustrating part of Adium, so it’ll be a great thing to see it replaced 😀
