More iChat Effects for Mac

More iChat Effects lets you customize iChat to make conversations with your friends more exciting.

The 56 different effects offered by the developer are very varied, from distortions, to blurs, crystallization or retro. There's even a few more elaborate themes like penguins, iPod, Earth or clown. More iChat Effects is easy to install and remove from your Mac and changing between themes only takes a second.

Overall we felt that the effects really added a bit more to the iChat experience, and having 56 is plenty to choose from. Since the effects have all been recently updated, they fit in perfectly in Lion, and can even be used in Photo Booth to take funny pictures of yourself. However, many users have experienced crashes running Photo Booth in 64 bit mode with More iChat Effects so it's recommended to run it in 32 bit mode for better stability.

Note that if you want to remove all effects, run the installer or remove files in /Library/Compositions.

More iChat Effects is a fun way to spice-up your iChat conversations.
