Source code for the clist_nicer plugin is availble via Miranda official SVN
repository at:

https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/miranda/trunk/miranda/plugins/clist_nicer

You need a SVN client to access this, I recommend TortoiseSVN for Windows which
is easy to use and provides a good UI.

To compile, you need a complete checkout of Mirandas main source repository and
Visual C++ 6 with service pack 6 + the latest platform SDK installed. Compiling 
with Visual Studio 2005 is also supported.

Project files are provided for Visual C++ 6 and Visual Studio 2005 (aka Visual
C++ 8). Compilation with Mingw32/GCC is currently not supported.

This plugin for the Miranda Instant messenger is licensed under the GNU 
General Public License Version 2.

The clist_nicer+ plugin is based on the original clist_nicer plugin written in 2004
by pixel. This is derived work from the original Miranda contact list plugin
(by now known as clist_classic) which was written by many contributors to the
Miranda project since 2000.
