Enable tabbed message windows	-	When ticked all your instant message windows are grouped together into one window.
Keep tabbed window on top	-	The tabbed message window will be kept on top of all other windows on your screen.
Create messages minimised and do not steal focus	-	When this option is enabled, IM windows are created minimised to the task bar rather than just appearing on your screen. This stops you from accidently typing into a new IM window.
Check for new version when signing on	-	If ticked DeadAIM will look for a new version of DeadAIM when you sign onto AIM.
Check Now button	-	Clicking this button will make DeadAIM check for a new version immediately.
Suppress AIM Today window	-	This stops the AIM Today window from ever appearing.
Append DeadAIM link to profile	-	When ticked a little message will be put in your profile advertising DeadAIM. If there is no room in your profile for it your profile will be left untouched.
Allow messaging while away	-	Normally AIM will set you back automatically if you message someone. Tick this option and that won't happen.
