So, i've finally gotten off my ass, and submitted my first message style for
[Adium](https://www.adium.im/). The plan was to add a few more things to it
before i released it, but that was 3 weeks ago, and i haven't had time to work
on it, so i decided to just release it in its current form cause its stable,
works well, and looks nice :)
