[Gaim-devel] yahoo fade tags...

[Gregory M. <web...@ex...>]

a friend of mine keeps using <fade> tags in her messages... any chance of 
getting those to be supported?
for example,
<FADE #ff0000,#00ff00,#0000ff>blah</FADE>
should print blah and fade from red to blue to green...
(yahoo) 
even ignoring that tag would be nice...

[Gaim-devel] Tray Menu's proposal

[Mark D. <ma...@ki...>]

Ok, I've got a proposal thingy...  can we change the tray icon menus for linux
and windows to make them
1) uniform and 
2) more useful

I've taken screen shots of gaim in linux and windows, and aim in windows, both
online and offline, and put them at http://www.kingant.net/oscar/gaim/traymenus/

I like Rob's Linux tray icon, for the most part.  There are a few small
changes I would make:
Possibly change "Quit" to "Exit."  I like Quit better.  I'm not sure what most
other applications do.

Remove "About Gaim."  It's not really that useful.  If people really want to
read stuff about gaim they can just open the blist and go to Help->About. 
This isn't really something you'd be reading a few times a day...

Add an icon for "Mute Sounds."  It just looks lonely compared to the Accounts
and Preferences options.

Add a "New Message..." option when you're signed on which opens the "Send IM
to who?" dialog window.

And then for the windows menu, I think it would be best if it were the same as
the Linux menu, with breaks in the same places.

Uh, so I'm proposing that the tray icon menu's be changed to:
--------------
New Message...
Away->
Signoff
--------------
Mute Sounds
Accounts...
Preferences...
--------------
Quit
--------------

Comments?  Anyone?  What does everyone else think?

Yes, I like this too. May I also suggest we add a File Transfers item
there as well? Now that I joined the dark side and started using an
actual desktop environment (GNOME) and am using the tray icon, I'd
like to be able to get to my file transfers window without opening the
buddy list and going to the Tools menu.

Oh, and since we have New Message, why not Join A Chat?

Should Signoff be so close to the New Message and Away? People may
bump it. Since we have this nice volatile Quit item, perhaps it should
go there.

So my modifications to your proposal:

-----------------
New Message...
Join A Chat...
Away->
-----------------
Mute Sounds
File Transfers...
Accounts...
Preferences...
-----------------
Signoff
Quit
-----------------

I like these ideas, but what about making the "New Message" a pop-out 
menu with a list of the current online contacts so...

New Message-> Buddy

Kind of like the "Away" menu.

It would probably be better to add a drop-down box to the NewMessage
dialog. This would make that dialog more functional overall and prevent
a massive list from being rendered right on the edge of the screen.
