New message prefix preferences are in for the next binary! 🙂
Message prefixes can now contain time stamps, specify alias/userName display, conditionally display additional text, contain inline messages, and support tail prefixing. When a prefix with an inline message is used, the message view will hide user icons and bubbles, reverting back to a classic IM look.
It’s pretty spiffy stuff, and more powerful than the preferences let on. 🙂
Because of these changes, you must either:
A) User the message display preferences to select a prefix from the menu
or
B) When Adium is closed, trash the file located at (From your home folder):
~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/Message Display.plist
to reset your prefixes to the new defaults.
