The HmmXP Theme Pack is a historic, high-standard web styling and messaging template package. It was developed by K.J. van der Ven (known online as Syrek).

Instead of skinning your entire Windows operating system, HmmXP was specifically engineered as an IEView Template. It leverages structured HTML and CSS to completely redesign the chat windows and message logs for legacy instant messaging clients like Miranda IM / Miranda NG. It replicates the iconic Windows XP visual aesthetic within chat sessions. šŸ“„ How to Install the HmmXP Pack

Because the pack handles two components—the chat log interface (IEView) and the frame container (TabSRMM)—the setup requires placing files in your application directory. Step 1: Install the IEView Template

Download the HmmXP-pack .zip file from an official repository like the ⁠Miranda NG Addons Engine. Extract the archive contents on your computer.

Copy the extracted folder containing the HTML, CSS, and image assets.

Paste it directly into your client’s plugin directory:C:\Program Files\Miranda NG\Plugins\IEView\Skins\HmmXP</code> Step 2: Import the Container Skin (*.tabsrmm)

Many variations of the pack include window container styling: Open your client’s main chat window. Ensure the menubar is toggled on.
