HIM 0.2.0 looks and sounds more like AIM, and adds dark mode, your own colors, and drag-and-drop file sending.

New

  • The AIM IM window: your buddy's icon sits in the lower-left corner with no frame, on the light gray it was drawn for.
  • The classic AIM sounds are built in: buddy in and out, IM sent and received. Setup still takes your own sound files.
  • Dark mode and your own colors: Setup > Theme picks Classic or Dark, and Colors... lets you change any color in HIM, from text and windows to links and the gray behind Buddy Icons.
  • Drag and drop: drop a picture or file on an IM window to send it.
  • Choose where received files go: Setup > Received files (Downloads/HIM unless you change it).
  • Links: web addresses in IMs and chat rooms are clickable and open in your browser.
  • Chat rooms: lines relayed from Discord on MacDomain, and from the Hotline Central Hub's Relay, show the real sender: "Tagban: lol (via Discord)".
  • Update notice: HIM checks GitHub at startup and shows a one-line notice when a newer version is out. It sends nothing about you.
  • BugBot: a suggested buddy for bug reports and ideas. Tell it what happened, send a screenshot if you have one, and it files the report on GitHub.

Fixed

  • Linux: clicking a window's title bar (easy to do when a buddy request pops up under the mouse) could leave the window stuck to the pointer.
  • Linux: the Flatpak now includes the BadassBuddy icon collection.
  • Setup: section titles no longer have a line through them.

Downloads

  • Mac (Apple Silicon): HIM_0.2.0_aarch64.dmg · Mac (Intel): HIM_0.2.0_x64.dmg. Both signed and notarized.
  • Windows: HIM_0.2.0_x64-setup.exe (or the .msi)
  • Linux: .deb for x86_64 and arm64, or the Flatpaks
