PNGCrush works a lot better for me, and it gets rid of the gamma too (http://user.fundy.net/morris/photoshop03.shtml), (http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/)

Only problem with that is that it you have to use terminal commands. Anyone know of any automator actions to simplify it?

It does shrink the size of the files, but to get it to work you have to drag the PNG files onto the app file itself. That problem is very troublesome.

I already use pngcrush with contextual menu items that I made with OnMyCommand.

I'll give this a try: Ping's OptiPNG compression may have better or faster compression than pngcrush...but unless I can access Ping's options similarly, a drag and drop app probably won't be easier or more convenient.

Re stripping the gamma (m4c_b0y), there is GammaSlamma which also uses PNGCRUSH, but yeah, it might be nice to have both features available in one app.

The website for this handy utility has been offline for weeks now. You can still snatch the download at MacUpdate.

If you want something that does both (the crushing of Ping combined with the gamma removal of GammaSlamma), you can use the widget PNGpong. It's not a standalone unfortunately, but it still works really well so I have since switched to that (it uses both the pngcrush and the optipng "engines" already mentioned below).

IMO Hubert should be the icon.

This is nice if you want support for video or audio via msn, but other than that Adium beats it hands down.

Nice, but it seems to lock up very frequently, so I'd use Adium over it any day...

i like this. Because it can use isight for video chat. Normally, i use adium. :-)

I use aMSN only for the isight feature - usually I much prefer Adium. Any other good messenger programs out there allow the use of iSight?

Only reason I use it is because it can receive MSN's "Offline Messages", and even then it seems horribly slow on my MBP. Adium's still my primary IM program.

Skype does it for me wrt video-chat.
