Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Yuri Astrakhan (yurochek) Assigned to: Richard Laager (rlaager) Summary: Missing smiley description functionality Initial Comment: Not sure if this is a feature request or GUI missing feature: In MSN messenger, when the mouse passes over a smiley, a short description pops up, informing the user what that smiley represents. This functionality is missing in Gaim. Proposal: change the "theme" file format, to allow for a short note to be included, plus allow for smiley popup to show those notes. Idea formats for 'theme" file: ^"Eye Roll" msn_eyeroll.gif 8-) This way any complex smileys can be listed at the end, and the older themes can still be understood by the new code. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

(patch #1491133) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Laager (rlaager) Date: 2006-03-09 10:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=156487 I'm all for this. And, yes, backwards compatibility is important if this is added during the 2.x.y series. Patches are welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kedar Patil (patilkedar) Date: 2006-03-09 07:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=589365 I second this feature request, with a small change though. I would propose that the smiley theme file be XML, similar to other config files. Is backward compatibility so important here? If needed, we can have a small script to convert existing theme file into XML one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1157168&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
