Hey,
In another thread I made the request for anyone who knows javascript, who could suggest a way to have "user is typing" bubbles appear in message views. Similar to iChat's though bubbles which precede the message.
I thought that proteus had something special about it which allowed it to work. Maybe it does, but in examining THEIR iChat clone (I think it's called real iChat) it's seems it's all javascript
In short, if you know more, I would like to know. If you've also wanted this feature, awesome. and if you are a dev, maybe you could work to implement this? I also made the request to have many more animations built in and activated by message style plists.
