Here is a list to keep track of the status of Adium themes on kde-telepathy's chat window.
| Rating | ID | Theme Name | Problems | Install |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRONZE | 4042 | 1337 | Does not show consecutive status messages | 
|
| SILVER | 4987 | Adium Matte | Consecutive messages are not in the bubble |
|
| SILVER | 7890 | ANNA | Header covers the top messages that are impossible to read |
|
| GOLD | 7925 | Andromeda | Header covers the top messages but there is a button to hide the header |
|
| PLATINUM | 1385 | Candybars | - |
|
| PLATINUM | 3306 | Cinematic | - |
|
| BRONZE | 4728 | Dinosaur Comics | No dinosaurs in the chat. Rename {t,T}emplate.html to fix the dinosaurs problem |
|
| PLATINUM | 7366 | Durarara | - |
|
| GOLD | 2141 | Ethereal | Files are unzipped in a subfolder. DefaultBackgroundIsTransparent key in Info.plist should be used |
|
| PLATINUM | 2463 | GoneDark/GoneDark Polarized | - |
|
| GOLD | 7435 | Hard Bubbles | Header covers the top messages but there is a button to hide the header. Some variants seems to be broken (White, White Bubbling, Modern, and relative Alt *) |
|
| BRONZE | 8063 | Lighty | Does not show baloons |
|
| GOLD | 7780 | Mnmlsm | Header covers the top messages but being semi-transparent you can read it |
|
| PLATINUM | 6638 | Mochastyle | - |
|
| GOLD | 5367 | Model Portfolio | The theme seems to be working, but there is an ugly line in the middle that should be on the side. The DisplayNameForNoVariant key from Info.plist should be taken into account in the kcm |
|
| PLATINUM | 3629 | Modern Bubbling/Modern Bubbling Compact | Header covers the top messages but there is a button to hide the header |
|
| RUBBISH | 2158 | Modern View | Renaming {t,T}emplate.html becomes gold. The hide link in the header is broken (opens a browser instead of hiding the header) |
|
| BRONZE | 6218 | NoteBoard | Does not show consecutive status messages |
|
| GOLD | 6938 | Pretty Simple | Scrollbar goes outside on top |
|
| PLATINUM | 198 | Pushpin/Pushpin Vintage | - |
|
| PLATINUM | 6766 | Ravenant | - |
|
| SILVER | 1779 | Ruler | Consecutive messages are not in the bubble |
|
| RUBBISH | 7936 | SimpleSky | Invalid style. Renaming html files to uppercase becomes platinum |
|
| GOLD | 2564 | SmoothSeparateLines | The screenshots show that the sender should be displayed for every message, but it's not for consecutive message. I suspect that this could happen for other themes |
|
| BRONZE | 6058 | Sticker Style | Does not show baloons. Renaming {S,s}tyle folder becomes platinum |
|
| GOLD | 4745 | Succint | Header covers the top messages that are hard to read |
|
| RUBBISH | 7997 | Taz | "Taz.AdiumMessageStyle" is invalid style! Renaming {i,I}ncoming becomes Platinum. We should check the colours of the status message using this theme! |
|
| BRONZE | 345 | aNon | Does not show status messages |
|
| RUBBISH | 7003 | coly/coly.names | The name in the dropdown menu is wrong (Actually because the Info.plist file is info.plist instead). Default font is so small that it is impossible to read anything. Using a custom font aligment are completely wrong. Renaming {M,m}ain.css becomes platinum |
|
| PLATINUM | 1907 | h4x0r | - |
|
| PLATINUM | 8259 | iMessages | Very slow to load |
|
| GOLD | 7756 | xMous | Timestamps are very small with default font |
|
| SILVER | 5474 | yMous | Silver |
|
| BRONZE | 5812 | zMous | Timestamps are very small with default font. Status messages are not shown |
|
Other Themes

| Gone Dark (from Adium repo) | Platinum | Not sure if it is a bug but the "Jabber" text appears over the separator line using custom fonts |
| Mockie (from Adium repo) | Platinum | |
| Smooth Operator (from Adium repo) | Silver | Header covers the top messages but there is a button to hide the header. There are a few visual issues (different in different variants) |
| Stockholm (from Adium repo) | Gold | The avatars seem to be outside of the window |
| minimal_mod (from Adium repo) | Platinum | Variant "SenderColor SingleLine" displays "%sender%" for status messages, for the rest is perfect, the header covers the top messages, but disappears automatically when you scroll to the top |

| SimKete (default theme for group chats) | Silver | Appended messages are wrong, The DisplayNameForNoVariant key from Info.plist should be taken into account in the kcm |
