Is there a way to change your display name?

Hi
It's a bit tricky, but here's what you have to do.
1. Go to preferences.
2. Press the events button
3. Interact with the outline there, the events'll say things like
"blank button collapsed" but if you press vo+h it'll tell you what
event you're on.
4. When you find the event you want, click the add button to add
another action to it. Select "speak the event aloud" from the
choices there and set the speech settings the way you like.
Do this for every event you want spoken aloud. I'm not sure if it'll
tell you what contact signs in or out, I'll have to test that.

Also, is there a way to make it read who signs in/out?
Thanks.

Hi
Just FYI, I'm using Adium 1.2b7. What I do is have it set to
automatically read all incoming messages, as we can't yet
currently interact with the scroll area that contains the message
text. I did however, make an interesting discovery. It seems that
the scroll area is simply a container control for an html control,
just like the one we use on the web--you can see this if you move
keyboard focus to the toolbar and tab a few times, you'll wind up
in the message text area. It doesn't help us to read it, since
VO's cursor won't go inside, but it does give me a clue as to
what's going on and perhaps the devs will fix it when I explain to
them exactly what the problem is. However, when I'm reading
messages automatically and miss something, command+l takes me to
the chat transcript viewer. The text area inside that window is
fully accessible. It's not the most efficient way to IM, but I've
found it more reliable than the msn transport through Jabber and
more convenient as well.

Hi all,
Well, in the stable release of Adium, when you whent through your
contact list, it would only say, "Available contact" or "away
contact, "Offline Contact", and so on. Now, it says the name of
the contact, and there status, just how you'd expect.
What I still don't get however is that everyone I talk to when I
send a message it says that the person appears to be offline when
they really aren't, or at least I don't think they are. Anyone
else have these issues? Well we may just have an accessible, easy
to use, no server configuration needed messenger client fully
accessible soon. Another thing I also couldn't do is read
messages. Than again, this is only my second time using this
Application, but at least the versions are improving and not
getting worse.
Everyone should try this out. Get it from http://adiumx.com
