If there is site on my answers please point me there but just installed pidgin

1) To IM your buddy I am clicking and holding then select IM. Is there a better way?

2) When I IM a buddy the area where I am typing is very small. Can I resize that?

thanks alot. i must not have been double clicking right

ok next question

when my screen dims black and someone IM's me is there a way to wake up the screen?

LOL!


(sorry just struck me as funny)

The double click in pidgin has always been a bit glitchy for me, I usually triple click (or is it triple tap, stylus and all?) just for good measure. As far as getting the screen to 'wake' on IM I'm not so sure you can do that, since it seems that the only thing that ever wakes the screen is either input or a powerup/down, but I might be mistaken. Personally I just keep my volume at max and have all the pidgin sounds set to loud to be alerted to a message, still have to tap the screen once before typing but it's not so bad.
