Change the look of your chat client with Digsby skins
by Brad Linder May 24th 2008
After checking out 10 slick new themes for NetNewsWire yesterday, we started going on a themes kick. Many of our favorite applications, from VLC to Firefox are skinnable. Today, let's take a look at chat and social networking application Digsby.
Digsby already ships with a decent looking set of skins. But if you'd prefer Digsby to look like Windows Live Messenger, or a native OS X application (even though Digsby doesn't currently run on OS X), you can install user-generated skins.
Digsbies.org has a list of skins available, plus a series of conversation themes and emoticon sets. The site is an unofficial Digsby community, don't expect to get tech support updates from the Digsby team at Digsbies. But you can find a wealth of information at the Digsbies wiki, IRC channel, and blog. There's also a Digsby wish list where you can vote for the features you'd most like to see in future releases. The actual developers may or may not ever actually read your comments or pay attention to your vote. But if you have something you really want to get off your chest, Digsbies could be the place to do it.

Hey, I'm one of the Digsby devs, just wanted to mention that we do keep an eye on the wish list, it's not the only thing determining what we're going to be adding in the future, but it definitely makes an impact, so if anyone has a feature suggest, be sure to submit it there. Also, several of us developers actually frequent the Digsbies IRC channel, so feel free to stop by and chat, all devs are voiced in there, so it's easy to spot us. ^_^
