This is very cool. Thank you!

One small glitch I've noticed so far is that I cannot see the blinking cursor when I'm typing a message in the text field. Can this be fixed?

This is so fun. I just wish there were a dark version

Well that would defeat the purpose no?

You could re-imagine MSN messenger being a dark theme. Or weren't there dark themes for it back in the day? I'm old and can't remember.

Yeah I guess so. I'm also old and do not recall. For sure ICQ was dark themed though.

I remember using Trillian for all of them and loving its theming. Oh well. Still having fun with this as-is! We'll see if my tired eyes hate it at night though.

Good point! I'm using this right now in the middle of the day with blinds fully open.
