-                                        Clist Nicer modified

-                                        --------------------

-

-This is a modification of the original clist_nicer, written by Pixel based on

-Mirandas classic contact list with added skinning features.

-

-The following things were changed by me:

-----------------------------------------

-

-* ability to show client icons in the contact list. Does only work with the ICQJ or

-  ISee protocols for Miranda.

-

-* ability to show extended status icons and modes.

-

-* ability to show visibility icons in the contact list. A read eye means that you've

-  set this contact on your INVISIBILITY list (ICQ jargon) or the contact has been

-  blocked (MSN or Yahoo). You'll never be visible to this contact. A green eye means

-  that you've put this contact on your VISIBLE list, so you'll always be visible to

-  him/her, no matter what your status is (unless, you're really offline, of course).

-  Note that such "explicitely visible" lists do not exist in all protocols - it's

-  basically an "icq thing".

-

-* Added a toolbar for some commonly used operations. Check the tooltips on the toolbar

-  for more information.

-

-* added 2 buttons at the bottom for a "ICQ style" look. The left one opens the main menu

-  and the right one opens the status menu.

-

-* added some items to the contact list context menu (RIGHT click the contact list while

-  the pointer is NOT hovering a contact or its icon). The menu allows you to quickly

-  enable/disable some of the new features.

-

-* added codepage encoding for nicknames on the contact list. Currently, you can only set

-  "per contact" codepages with tabSRMM. If a codepage is present, it will be used to

-  encode the nickname. The result will be a widestring (unicode).

-

-* ability to show avatars and extended user information, like status

-  messages, on the contact list

-

-* multiwindow and genmenu support.

-

-

-                REQUIREMENTS:

-                ============

-

-* Miranda IM 0.8.1.x or later

-* Windows 2000 or later (ANSI version may work on Windows 98/SE, but this is totally

-  unsupported)..

-

-                INSTALLATION:

-                =============

-

-* Copy the .DLL to your miranda Plugins folder, while Miranda is not running.

-

-                A FEW PERFORMANCE TIP

-                =====================

-

-Clist_nicer+ can be graphic intense so it has the potential to eat quite some CPU

-cycles. This shouldn't be a problem on modern systems as they are generally fast

-enough, no matter what settings you apply. On slower systems, however, a few

-rules may improve performance significantly.

-

-* don't overuse the "overlay" skin items. All the odd/even/first/last/single skin

-  items use overdrawing to get the desired effect. This can easily double or even

-  triple the required calculations for color and transparency mixing, applying

-  shapes (rounded corners) and more. It gets even worse when each item has alpha

-  values less than 100%.

-

-* avoid the setting "Inherit transparency from background items" in the avatar

-  section of the "Advanced options" page. Transparent images need to be rendered

-  using the AlphaBlend() API which is slower than StretchBlt(). Additionally,

-  AlphaBlend()'s image rescaling "quality" is crappy. As a workaround, clist_nicer+

-  uses 2-stage rendering - it uses AlphaBlend() for applying transparency (both constant

-  and per-pixel) on the *unscaled* image and then renders the final image using

-  StretchBlt(). So the setting for transparent avatars can really hurt on slower

-  machines (but the 2-stage rendering does improve quality, of course).

-

-* avoid disabling the "Scroll with text" option for a background image. It can really

-  hurt the scrolling performance with smooth scrolling enabled.

-

-* avoid active view modes when you connect and your contact list is still empty. The

-  view mode filtering requires additional processing time, and when you connect

-  multiple protocols and a few dozen contacts are coming online, this can be notice-

-  able, even on faster machines.
