Also, in the UK at least, it's perfectly possible to send a SMS to a normal, landline phone - and sometimes its desirable where I work.
I am currently working on the settings window... I will see if I can sneak this option there...

At a later time I plan to implement a pretty robust parsing, including allowing the user some customization... For now I may have to do what you suggested and allow the user to just disable it... Just out of curiosity could you tell me how the phone numbers are over there? # of digits for area code, for phone prefix, total digits, ...

this looks very promising. I've had the same idea for a long time (but more in a "space saving" implementation) - but without coding abilities, it never happened.
One thing I can't see - does the desktop widget show online status of the contacts ?

Not yet.... Haven't figured out that one yet... All the skype/google talk/ ... (other services in general) will have to wait on me figuring out telepathy I am afraid.

This version of MyContacts looks very promising!

The idea is perfect - I am sure everyone is trying to use different ring tone for different contact- this is one of the best decisions so far.

One additional idea - is it possible to make window of the widget smaller or bigger - eg. when you want to use only half of the screen with your app?

Keep going! Regards. ;-)

Let me know if you are interested and I will write a quick guide (it is all about editing css files)
Pardon my laziness for not xterm finding the file by myself.... yeah, could you point me to where the css is? Thanks!

Great app man, appreciated. Would like to change the font sizes however, so a guide for modifying css please.

I haven't had the chance to write more about it yet but you will find the files at /home/user/.mycontacts

Please post some screenshots if you create something different.
