Gaim OSD Plugin / News: Recent posts

This release is mainly to support libxosd 1.0.x.

We're still alive! My Linux HD crashed a couple of weeks ago and I am still waiting for a replacement from IBM. Anyhow, I added basic support for libxosd 1.0.x in CVS. As of today, the only enhancement is horizontal alignment. Eventually, I'll add scrolling lines (now supported by xosd), ability to change number of lines, etc... stay tuned!

Gaim OSD: Gaim On-Screen Display

Gaim OSD is a Gaim plugin to display on-screen display of Gaim events,
such as buddy sign on/off, away/back, and other notification messages.
See below for a list of features. On-screen display is similar to that
of a television's menus, volume, and contrast control.

Released for GAIM 0.59. This release adds full per-buddy customization of osd display messages and hiding osd messages on reply (in conversations). Fixed several bugs, users are encouraged to upgrade to 0.3.3.

latest cvs adds an osd icon to every chat/IM
window, allowing one to toggle osd display on/off
for that specific window. The effect is similar
to the speaker icon for sound control. Requires
a very small patch (toolbar.patch) for gaim. The
patch moves the toolbar pointer into the
conversation structure.

Lots of new features in v0.3.1! Checkout cvs
changelog for details. New interface and lots
of goodies!

Displaying away messages is now possible with the latest CVS revision! Requires testing - Please send/post results.
