Contact List
The Contact List lets you see the status of your contacts at a glance. Type the beginning of a contact's name to jump to that contact in the list.
- You can double-click contacts in the list to open (or switch to) a messaging tab with them. See sending messages for more information.
- Hover your mouse cursor over a contact without moving it for a moment to reveal an informational tooltip about that person. You can then move over other contacts to see their information. More info can be found via the Get Info window -- click a contact, then select Get Info from the Contact menu.
- The contact list can be arranged in groups. See managing contacts for information on adding, moving, deleting, and combining contacts.
- The contact list shows status icons by default. Its appearance -- including what is displayed in it -- can be configured in many different ways via the Appearance Preferences. Select from built-in list layouts and color themes, download user-created ones from AdiumXtras.com, or create your own by clicking the Customize buttons there.
- See the View menu for other ways to control the contact list, such as showing or hiding offline contacts.
