Adium, best little Mac Gem. *some ideas

Post by thumper »

New update is great!!!
Thanks for your hard work :D

-it would be nice to have "Show user icon" and "Show header"
for all Message Styles. Eclipse looks GREAT btw!!!

-I really like the voice feature when i'm away so i can hear
whos messaging me, but not so much when i'm on my mac.
If there was a button to turn it on and off on the chat window/contact list
that would be kick A$$!!!

-I kinda miss not having a "Send" button on the chat window.
when i scroll thru my icons for one to use its just easier to
click the send button after. plus it just makes the chat window
look complete.

-most people on my list like to have long names.
ie
Jen- sunny day so ill be at the beach all day.

when you chat to them there name and what they are
typing run into each other,over lap. any ideas on a fix?

I love all the new goodies in the new update. the larger user icons
look great on apples bigger LCD screens :)

>This is a feature that I've heard is being worked on. The idea is to have different alert sets for different states (I.E. Active, Away, Idle, Etc.)

1. That is up to the author, not Adium.

2. It'll come when gaim-vv is ready.

3. We had a LONG discussion about this before… forgot the outcome though.

4. Again, it's the author, not Adium.

err as for your issue #2, i'm almost certain its already implemented in the current version...

go to preferences -> events and then change your sounds for when people come on or off... also you can set it to mute or not mute if you have the 'show status window when away' option enabled (under preferences -> status)
