metacontact icon needed!

Post by mpaggi »

hi.. i just thought i would say that we need a metacontact icon... so when i see my friends come on .. i want to make sure that i can see they have multiple accounts connected. this is also helpful for a quick reference to see if all your protocols are connected. just an idea though :-)

metacontacts in .8 will only show contacts which you could conceivably see with your current connected accounts... Showing an offline MSN buddy is ridiculous if in fact I'm just not online with MSN so there's no way for Adium to know.

I'd be cool with having a special service icon for metacontacts which are on multiple services. Somebody make one :P

the problem with that is people are gonna be able to make their own status packs in .8 .... so we just need a section upon the icon packs to for it... so i mean people can make their own... but i guess for the default there could be just an adium bird there?

We're talking about service icons, though - and it'd only be the default. Anyway, it was just a thought.
