Thanks for updating this to work with SL. I don’t mind the separate app situation as long as all my buddy lists can be in one window . Thanks very much for this app.

And to second Matty Boy’s input yesterday, I, too, find that I have to toggle the auto-resize for it to take effect, but in my case, the enabled auto-resize seems to persist, even across re-launches, if I haven’t manually done anything to the size of the (in my case) AIM Buddy List window. If I do, say, reduce the vertical size, it remains that way until, it seems, the number of on-line contacts change–then it does the auto resize. Also, I just tried manually reducing the size of the window so only 1 of the 3 on-line contacts showed (without scrolling); there was no subsequent auto-resize; and then I quit that iChat that had been initiated via Chax. I quickly re-launched via Chax and the window, still with 3 on-line contacts, is still the smaller size only showing 1 without scrolling; however, after several minutes, the number of on-line contacts changed–it became 4–and the window was then auto-reized to show all 4. (All that was without ever toggling off and back on the auto-resize option.)

I didn’t originally get my current iTunes (v8.2.1 under Snow Leopard 10.6) song as my status when I choose that option–something I had never done before in iChat, with or without Chax–but now I do. While I don’t know whether what I did–which was to launch iChat directly, choose that iTunes-song green-status option, quit iChat, and then launch via Chax–”kicked” something, but now I can switch between all the green-status options and each behaves as labeled. (I’ve quit and relaunched via Chax several times and, so far, I can still switch between all the green-status options and each works.)

@Dustin I’m using Chax Alpha 2 with iTunes 8.2.1 and having no issues with status set as “Current iTunes Song”. Yes, using Snow Leopard.

I’m also having the issue where you cannot set the status to the current playing itunes song. Is there any new API apple put in for 64 bit plugins or something because honestly I like the old style MUCH more.
