Discussion new idea

Post by Little_Tiger »

Hey peeps,

This is for the devs. But I would like to get your input too.

The idea is basic. Maybe not.
But I don't like using status icons. So sometimes it is hard to see if someone is online with those status icons.

So idea is , that instead of the status icons showing me the status of each person.
I would like the "text" (name) style tells me what the status is for those ppl.

Like:

Carlos
Carlos
Carlos


Bold Online
Italic Away
Bold Italic offline (idle).

And I would like that I can check the settings of them. Like
italic online etc etc etc...

Dev tells me if it's possible and tell me what you think.
And ppl what do you think about this idea?

I have a crazy idea I've been working on that would trivially allow this. It's experimental enough that I'm not going to get hopes up by explaining it though.

I'd say it's specific enough in demand to be a plugin, not a feature.
Try my software!

#define ADIUMX pimp //by me
#define QUESTION ((2b) || (!2b))
Have you hugged a programmer today?

Thanks for your replies devs,

Well bgannin, if it can be made as a plugin, I hope ppl around here would like to make it.

And Catfish_Man, i'm crossing my fingers, that it will work.

thanks
again.
