[Konversation-users] Supporting the developers?

[Dave <da...@ch...>]

Hi all :)

I first want to say that out of all of the various IRC clients available under 
Linux, Konversation has become my favorite. It's looking great so far. I have 
used windows for a long time now and have moved (for the most part) over to 
SuSE because of the KDE desktop they default to. While using windows I prefer 
Klient (www.klient.com) to connect to IRC. Klient is actually more powerful 
than I need for an IRC application. I have never needed to add features via 
scripting but I guess thats always a nice option. Below are some things I 
liked about Klient and would love to see implimented in Konversation:

1. Configurable 'auto away' including time and message to display.
2. Minimize to system tray without being shown in task bar.
3. Configurable 'on connect' options to specify modes and commands to be sent 
to the server.

X-Chat feature most liked:
1. Transparent background. (just looks cool) But this should extend to the 
nicklist and text input area too, I think.

I would like to offer support via monetary donations if possible. I'm not sure 
if I noticed any such option on the site. Perhaps this will help sway someone 
to implement the above features. :) I know it's not easy to earn a living and 
work on projects such as this at the same time.

Cheers,
Dave Lozier
