I know I can't actually get Adium on Windows. Are there any Windows IM clients that at least support Adium styles, specifically Contact List Styles and Message Styles?
Pidgin is heart-breakingly close, but as far as I can tell, it's not there yet:
- Pidgin-WebKit would be perfect, except it doesn't seem to compile on Windows.
adium2pidgin-themes converts Adium Xtras into Pidgin themes, but only supports sound, status, and emoticon theme types:
The Pidgin project is considering merging Pidgin-WebKit into Pidgin itself, but that sounds like a long way off:
Most notably, we've been talking about merging the webkit integration branch into what will become 3.0.0. Eventually, this would allow the support of Adium's message styles, although it may not happen right away.
So, are there any Windows IM clients that support Adium styles today?

I haven't had the time to test it out at all, but emescene supports windows, and apparently supports adium themes
from the changelogs on their site... for version 2.11.7
- Plugins and themes can be loaded from ~/.config/emesene2/[plugins|themes]
- Avatars for Google talk and Facebook
- Mail access in Google talk
- A new Windows installer
- Unity launcher support
- Fully supported Adium theme set. All the themes are now Adium style
- Conversations don't close when the user is disconnected
- Updated translations
Installing a adium theme seems to work with message styles, but i've not quite worked out how to use contact list styles yet.
Apparently instandbird appears to use adium style styles as well, but they may need to be repackaged.
