Long-time macOS users certainly remember Adium, as this has long been one of the most popular multi-platform instant messaging apps on Apple’s desktop platform.

Adium came with an impressive feature package that included anything from a super-user-friendly and modern interface to support for a wide array of networks, including the now-discontinued Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, and so many others.

And believe it or not, but Adium is still being used these days by a substantial number of users running macOS on their devices. Sure, most of them are enterprises that need an easy way to chat with contacts in their own internal networks, such as when a Jabber server is being used, but Adium still survives despite the migration to cloud-based infrastructure.

I'm running Office 365 on my MacBook Pro. I don't see the option to add the Auto Scroll function to the ribbon bar under Preferences. I want the document (a script) to scroll automatically so I can record a piece to camera. Whatever you want when it comes to scrolling can be adjusted within settings. Here is how to scroll on a Mac and how to adjust scrolling settings. How to change Mac mouse scrolling directions and controls. Go to System Preferences in the Apple menu.

New operating system updates and old software don’t always play nice, and this is exactly what happened this month when Apple rolled out macOS Catalina.

As an old application, Adium experiencing compatibility issues isn’t necessarily something totally surprising, especially as the developer behind the app hasn’t really been in a rush to improve it.

On macOS Catalina, one of the biggest problems for users whose devices have been updated to Catalina is the broken auto-scrolling feature in messages.

In other words, when someone sends you a message and you open the conversation window, Adium no longer automatically scrolls down to the last message to lead you to read it, so the whole thing needs to be done manually every time a new message is received.

It goes without saying that this isn’t the most convenient way to deal with a compatibility bug, but fortunately, a workaround already exists, thanks to enthusiast @ Cocoa Forge Forum.

If you want to modify your installation, you need to update Adium to the latest version.The most recent release of the app is version 1.5.10.4, and you can find it on Softpedia right here – if you don’t update to the latest version, the chances are not only that you won’t be able to fix this bug, but also come across other issues after installing macOS Catalina.

The following workaround is for the Default (Stockholm) message and some existing themes.You can check what theme you are using at the following location:


Adium > Preferences > Messages > Message Style

Next, you need to make sure Adium is closed. Navigate to the following path on your Mac:


Finder > Applications> Adium > right-click > Show Package Contents > Contents > Resources

The file that we’re looking for is called:


Template.html

In order to edit this Template.html file, you’re going to need a text editing tool. We recommend BBEdit.Open this file in the text editor and replace the following text:


//Auto-scroll to bottom. Use nearBottom to determine if a scrollToBottom is desired.
 function nearBottom() {
 return ( document.body.scrollTop >= ( document.body.offsetHeight - ( window.innerHeight * 1.2 ) ) );
 }
 function scrollToBottom() {
 document.body.scrollTop = document.body.offsetHeight;
 }

With this one:


//Auto-scroll to bottom. Use nearBottom to determine if a scrollToBottom is desired.
 function nearBottom() {
 //return ( document.body.scrollTop >= ( document.body.offsetHeight - ( window.innerHeight * 1.2 ) ) );
 return 1;
 }
 function scrollToBottom() {
 window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
 //document.body.scrollTop = document.body.offsetHeight;
 }

Once you do this, save the new file and start Adium.The auto-scrolling behaviour should now be working correctly with no bug whatsoever.

Announcement: In a future update, Scroll Reverser will become a paid app. You can read more about my decision here.

FAQ / Troubleshooting

Can't enable Scroll Reverser. If Scroll Reverser does not respond when you try to check 'Enable Scroll Reverser', please try the following:
1. Quit Scroll Reverser.
2. Ensure Scroll Reverser is located in your Applications folder.
3. Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility.
4. Use the '–' button to remove Scroll Reverser from the list; then add back with '+'.
5. Now start Scroll Reverser. It ought to work this time.

Scroll Reverser sees my trackpad as a mouse. There's a system setting in Accessibility that lets you double-tap with three fingers to zoom. Unfortunately, when it is turned on, it stops Scroll Reverser working properly. Look for the checkbox: Accessibility → Zoom → Advanced → Controls → Use trackpad gesture to zoom, and make sure is is not checked (more information here).

Also, if you have an older Mac without a multi-touch trackpad (late 2007 and earlier) then Scroll Reverser will see your trackpad as a mouse. This also affects some third party external trackpads.

Can you make it reverse swipe gestures too? No, this is not possible. However, swipe direction respects the 'Scroll Direction: Natural' setting in System Preferences. Set that to your liking, then use Scroll Reverser to adjust scrolling with respect to that base setting.

I am controlling a machine via remote desktop, and Scroll Reverser is running on both the local and remote machine. Anything I can do to make it work nicely? Run this command at terminal on the remote machine: defaults write com.pilotmoon.scroll-reverser ReverseOnlyRawInput -bool YES then quit and restart Scroll Reverser.
