If there's anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to. My C/C++ is pretty
rusty, but I can give it a shot; I'm a bit better with something like Python
or possibly Perl. The idea I came up with was to have an option to toggle
between setting status and message separately or be able to set predefined
status/message combinations. I suppose you could allow both instead of
having an option, but I'm not sure if that would make the interface too
cluttered. I figured status/message combinations could be saved as an XML
file in the kopete directory (~/.kde/share/apps/kopete I believe), but if
this is part of the core there may be some other file/format that's more
appropriate. I don't think there's a huge amount of room for creativity with
the interface, just a menu/dropdown with a list of saved messages and an
option to open a message editor window, which would just be the normal
add/delete/edit type of control panel. I think that's about all that would
be needed. Thanks a lot for your time.
