Since it describes the users current status, it should be retrieved as soon as possible. Mirabilis has the xtraz status override the actual status, so we need to get it and show it instead of the current status. > To retrieve the xtraz message, I need to decode an xml message.

Nope, the current XML is not even used at all. > <ret event='OnRemoteNotification'> > <srv><id>cAwaySrv</id> > <val srv_id='cAwaySrv'> > <Root><CASXtraSetAwayMessage></CASXtraSetAwayMessage> > <uin>user's UIN</uin> > <index>1</index> > <title>Status Name</title> > <desc>Status Description</desc> > </Root> > </val> > </srv> > </ret> If all you need is to extract the desc field, then using a string's search capability is sufficient. But if you need more than that, we should use an XML parser perhaps. > I still haven't looked at the qt-gui code, but after retrieving the > message, I'm planning to modifiy the qt-gui in order to reflect the > status with the xtraz icons.

I'm not sure about the > licenses, though. What I would reccommend is to use the current icons as a base that are hardcoded into the Qt-GUI. That way if a skin doesn't specify an icon, we can fallback to the default in the GUI. > Well, this is only the beginning. :-) Any hints will be much appreciated. I would also reccommend to breakup any work into smaller patches. Such as #1 Get xtraz status #2 Set xtraz status #3 Extra gui work #4 Anything else? That way it is easier to integrate the patches, and it should reflect the order in which you are making the code.
