Hi,

after adding new contact list view/model pretty much has changed for
me in Kopete. I liked it. Thanks for the developers.

However there is still big room for improvement and customization.
Since (as stated in code) main developer was Roman Jarosz I contacted
he, but then we decided it would be better to discuss it here.

So, my proposals are:

1. Option not to draw contact icon if no contact picture/avatar available.
2. If Status Title is empty we'll just substitute ordinary status
(e.g. Away/Online etc.)
3. Customization of contact list token color. User can set different
font colors for the token. This should help him visually recognize
different token. Roman J. said that we already have color for idle
contact. Then my suggestion would be to use this color to override
token colors.
4. Setting base and alternating colors for the contact list. Roman J.
said that it's already globally configurable. But I cannot find it in
systemsettings -> Appearance - colors. Where it is? It would be nice
if our settings could just override this settings. Defaults will be of
course system wide settings.

So lets discuss this possibilities. The general idea it to make
contact list as highly customizable as possible. For those of you
which are worried about not experienced users. First, we can add just
Advanced tab, second, i personally think users of linux/kde can cope
with this kind of settings ))

Other suggestions are vere welcome.

Regards,
Roman
