theme

[Jeffrey A. Muth, JR.]

Good Day,I have been searching for hours...I need to make pidgin have a dark 
theme as I get digital eye strain easily and pidgin has alot of white space 
that hurts my eyes over time. Is there any current information on how to change 
the coloring/theme of it? Everything I find is old and outdated as well as it 
links to art.gnome.org for personalization and the page that is being discussed 
is no longer valid.Thank you for any help provided

How to add Persistent Notifications?

[Jeffrey McClain]

I currently have Pidgin setup to "keep buddy list window on top 
always."Whenever anyone messages me, the chat window immediately pops up in 
front of whatever window i have open (chrome, for example). I like this because 
it lets me see new messages immediately.Upon clicking anywhere on the current 
window, the Pidgin chat is sent to the background. Again, this is as 
expected.My issue is that now if someone messages me, the chat window no longer 
pops up to the forefront. There is an occasional flash on the taskbar icon, but 
I rarely if ever notice it until minutes later.What I would like is some way to 
set up Pidgin notifications so that when i click the current window (chrome for 
example) and Pidgin is sent to the background,any subsequent messages (from 
that sender or any other) will once again bring Pidgin's chatbox to the 
front.P.S.: Sorry in advance if this is already a global option. I have tried 
messing around with the "message notification" plugin to no avail. Please help.___

Bipul,
Use Help --> Debug Window then try to log into facebook.  Send that trace
to this list.  Maybe the collective will see something (or you might too)
that's causing your problem.

Conversation window buddyicon in taskbar ?

[Jeffrey D. Watson]

Greetings !
I'm running Pidgin 2.10.1 on Window  Professional (64-bit), is there a way
to configure Pidgin to show the buddyicon of the conversation window on the
taskbar instead of the generic purple pidgeon ?  Oddly, when I run Pidgin
from "PortableApps" platform the buddy icon does show up on the taskbar,
but not when I run from a locally installed version.  I thought I might be
missing a configuration item.

Thanks.

issues: facebook plugin

[Jeffrey Steben]

Dear Pidgin Support,

I'm not sure if you know how to solve my problem because it's with a third
party plugin but I figured I would email you guys and ask anyways. I have
been using the facebook plugin for the linux version of pidgin for a while
and I love that pidgin can do everything that AIM did on my windows machine
but better. My only issue is now when I use pidgin and try to instant
message a facebook friend it comes up with an error within the chat window
that says, "you are not permitted to do that" and will not let me message
them.

I was just wondering if you would happen to know a solution to my issue. If
not could you possibly steer me in the direction of where I could find a
solution?

I really appreciate the help and hope to hear back soon

Thank you,

Jeffrey

Update

[Jeffrey]

How can I update pidgin without losing all my current contacts and
settings. I show 2.7.0 installed and IIRC pidgin should be auto
updating 
but is now showing 2.7.7  as available on the pidgin page.
What now?
I'm using ubuntu 8.04
Thanks

With what field label is it being displayed?

At the time it was AOL.
I have since deleted his info and tried to reinstall his complete information
but I can't find any way to edit and add his phone number, ie he is back 
but not his phone number ( old or new ). I'm thinking he might need to 
send me a invitation from his phone in order for me to receive his number,
ie. only he can edit his number?
FYI When I was able to see his old number I could highlite the number field
but it would not edit.

What protocol is this on (AIM/MSN/Yahoo)? I'm going to assume msn given
your email address. Where exactly is the phone number listed for the
buddy?

My buddy is using AOL/AIM and his phone number is listed in the info.

On the buddy list window it says:
For AIM: "Server closed the connection"
For Yahoo: Lost Connection with Server: remote host connection closed.

Official clients stay up and active.

frequent disconnects on AIM

This past weekend I isolated my DSL line from the rest of the house 
wiring. 
This certainly has helped clean up any noise on the line, but I still see
frequent disconnects.  What is Disconnect reason 2 ?

Here's a snippet from the debug as requested:

disconnecting sessions

[Jeffrey D. Watson]

Greetings !
I have a re-occuring problem where the official clients of AIM and Yahoo 
stay connecting while our beloved Pidgin disconnects repeatedly.  Here's 
a snippet of the debug log of an AIM disconnect:


(14:53:39) *oscar:* Scheduling destruction of FLAP connection of type 0x0002
(14:53:39) *oscar:* Destroying oscar connection of type 0x0002. 
Disconnect reason is 2

(14:53:39) *connection:* Disconnecting connection 01DC1C90
(14:53:39) *connection:* Deactivating keepalive.
(14:53:39) *oscar:* Destroying oscar connection of type 0x0010. 
Disconnect reason is 0

(14:53:39) *oscar:* Disconnected. Code is 0x and msg is
(14:53:39) *oscar:* Destroying oscar connection of type 0x000d. 
Disconnect reason is 0

(14:53:39) *oscar:* Disconnected. Code is 0x and msg is
(14:53:39) *oscar:* Destroying oscar connection of type 0x0018. 
Disconnect reason is 0

(14:53:39) *oscar:* Disconnected. Code is 0x and msg is
(14:53:39) *oscar:* Signed off.
(14:53:39) *connection:* Destroying connection 01DC1C90

Any interpretation of this disconnect ?  I tend to suspect the keepalive 
or something similar.

frequent disconnects on AIM

[Jeffrey D. Watson]

Greetings,
On my home network I frequently get dropped from AIM.  Since this 
doesn't happen at work, I can infer that my home network is a 
contributing factor.  Yahoo on Pidgin stays up, and if I switch to the 
official AIM client that also stays up.  I'm looking for suggestions to 
debug this further.

Are there any tuneable parameters that would make pidgin less sensitive 
to network latency ?
