iChat Matte eliminates glossy iChat bubbles

doesn't work for me.

What's that shit with forward delete ?!?!

Desktops have the delete key and laptops, in order to save keys and leave more room for less key...they have bigger keys!! Even some sub-notebook makers learned that. And Fn-Backspace works...always.

I've adapted these bubbles to use for the iPhone.

Leopard added MORE glossy. Where do you get that there's LESS glossy? Even in graphite mode the buttons on my windows are still painstakingly glossy.

forward delete on a laptop is fn+delete

Now it we only could get Apple to get rid of the glossy screens on the iMac. :-(

> Aqua's shiny buttons are all but history

They are? Not on my Leopard :/

Also check out Compact View in View > Messages > Show as Compact.

Same thing that egordin said, you can do that via Customize (thankfully, that feature hasn't been gimped yet).

Going off on a tangent now... Goddamn, what is up with the last few versions of Customize!? rSBT has been seriously gimped in terms of not being able to organize the second page of SpringBoard, not being able to hide, and now I find out that I'm limited to four icons in my Dock because of a careless mistake. >:( I realize the guy is getting around to re-writing his code, but I'm really not a fan of little incremental releases like he has been doing.

Okay, done :)

You actually can do the same thing with your iPhone using the Customize.app. I created custom non-bubble SMS replacements very simply and uploaded them to my phone via SSH.
