OK - once more, with feeling :

I have released gaim-2.0.0-0nix25, fixing the empty gaim-sounds package.

As always, please check http://gaim.garage.maemo.org/ for new information, and more hints, tips, and whatnot.

thanks

nin_nix,

Finally got it working after refreshing catalogues and installing the latest build.

Looking good, and thanks!

worked perfectly! thanks nix_nix. the FAQ on the bottom of the http://gaim.garage.maemo.org/ helped alot when configuring sound.

thanks dude!! ur the best :P

Hey, all!

I am pleased to announce that I have completed the move from Gaim to Pidgin

The first release of Pidgin (2.0.0-1nix0) has these improvements (and hopefully no major h0rkages ):

• Moved to pidgin-2.0.0 (obviously)
• Added "Really quit Pidgin ?" dialog when someone clicks the top-right [X] on the buddy list window
• Use (nicer) Pidgin dialogs for setting aliases rather than from-scratch one
• Added "Add" button to smiley theme prefs page, and tried out a few smiley themes from http://customize.org/
• Added /home/user/MyDocs/* (Documents, Images, Videos, etc.) as shortcut directories to the file/folder open/save dialogs
• Building under gregale works for both N770 and N800 - no more separate repositories

I have also updated the Web page at http://gaim.garage.maemo.org/. Please have a look. I don't know if I'll be able to rename the project and the garage site to "pidgin".

freaking awesome!

I'm typing this message as I do the transition from Gaim to Pidgin on 770/OS2006. So, here we go
- Successfully uninstalled MSN protocol, smileys and Gaim itself
- Successfully added package repositories, package list refreshed OK
- Pidgin downloaded and installed OK
- Also successfully downloaded and installed: pidgin-sounds, pidgin-emotes-default, MSN and IRC protocols

As soon as I clicked the Pidgin IM icon in the Navigator, the background disappeared, but I use the Idea launcher, which sometimes causes background disappearances -- IMO, it is not Pidgin that caused this, but I can only rely on intuition and simpathy for this statement

- MSN working great
- IRC seems OK, but I didn't try it out much

Some comments:
+ Stability is vastly improved
+ I like the (subtle and not so subtle) UI improvements
- Can't get sounds to work
- Clicking almost any button opens up a separate window

Nice work though, and VERY much appreciated

PS: Google talk would be nice although I don't think it's worth the hassle, seeing that there's Tapioca (if that ever gets improved...).

*edit*

Sounds work, but are almost silent! And there is a small bug with the main UI: closing a group of contacts works perfectly, but it is impossible to reopen the groups with the stylus, since they re-close immediately. Works with the button in the center of the rocker switch though.

Bug in the conversations section of the preferences: clicking the decrease font size button makes the font larger if the current font size is the default.

I use the Jabber protocol to use my Google account

thanks nix for the new version and for
- Added "Add" button to smiley theme prefs page

going to try it soon

I use gtalk for voip though... is that possible in Pidgin?

*edit*

Nevermind, Jabber didn't even show up in the list of protocols after I installed it...
