In the process of developing the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, with the smaller screens of netbooks in mind, I wrote some patches to make pidgin work with less pixels.
There are three places which make pidgin over 1024x600. 1. Preference window 2. Account Manager when choose protocol to "SILC" 3. Add Buddy Pounce by right clicking on a user. Now, these patches originally used hard-coded changes, because we were only targeting smaller screens. But I've modified it to check the resolution dynamically. I'll attach the patches below. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "Preference window patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21624698/60_1024x600_gtkprefs.c.patch -- pidgin preferences window is too tall for netbooks, cannot see close/cancel buttons, cannot be resized to fit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
