What if we added a "!" icon to the plasmoiod in the systray? If tha plasmoid were to be used on the desktop there would be no problem because the status i visible. But if it were in a tray we could have an icon called "kde-telepathy-warning" where we have a "!" to notify the user that something's wrong. What do you say? This way we could go with global presence and have our nice set of icons for the presence status > Would it make sense for nwoki's plasmoid to read the same config file and > show either a single presence changer or one per account. > > > --Marty _______________________________________________ KDE-Telepathy mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy
