Get and Enable Tabbed Instant Messaging Chat Window in Miranda IM

Miranda IM is a free open source multi protocol instant messenger client for Microsoft Windows based system. The main feature of Miranda IM are that it uses very little memory and is extremely fast and slim, as MirandaIM only provides a basic client framework and support for various IM protocols and additional features is implemented through optional yet advanced addons or plugins architecture. Some of the supported instant messenger protocols such as AIM, MSN (Windows Live) and Yahoo come bundled with Miranda-IM by default, while other IM network support can be downloaded and implemented via plug-ins, such as ICQ, Jabber, IRC, Gadu-Gadu, Tlen.pl, Netsend, Bonjour, Skype (wrapper only), BNet and QQ.

With the add-on or plugin system, Miranda IM can implement the tabbed instant messages windows or tabbed IM chat windows, where all your chat sessions or instant messages windows with other buddies or friends can be grouped together as tabs within just one single window, just like tabbed browsing in IE7 and Firefox. By default, Miranda IM comes with the SRMM Unicode messaging module plugin (in Miranda IM, messaging module is implemented via addons rather than from core), which provides basic messaging functionality to send and receive instant messages, with one window opened per contact or chat partner.

To use tabbed instant messenger window or group multiple chats each as tabs in a window, several upgraded version or modification of messaging module SRMM has been developed as an addon to Miranda IM to provide the multiple tabs per window functionality.

TabSRMM

TabSRMM is an advanced modification of the original SRMM message dialog plugin. It’s an advanced message dialog for IM and group chats with a tabbed interface and highly configurable feature, and has since grown to support many more features such as events notification and avatars. It also has a rich template system. If you just want the tabbed chatting window, probably this addon is too much of heavyweight to you.

Download tabSRMM 1.0.0.1 (ANSI version for Windows 98/Me)
Download tabSRMM Unicode 1.0.0.1 (for Wndows 2000 or later)

Scriver

Scriver is SRMM modification and can be used as SRMM replacement, which provides some new features like tabs or message grouping as well as better integration with IEView plugin. Scriver is just a little bit more advanced than the regular SRMM, with its configuration remains as simple as possible. Note that IEView is not necessary to run Scriver, because the plugin includes full support for RichEdit-based logs, which is used whenever IEView is absent or disabled. However, Scriver has much less features when compared with TabSRMM.
