I have a related problem that while yahoo ids of all users show only the first part of email id (without @yahoo.com etc.), gmail ids of all users are shown full id (including @gmail.com). That goes long and doesn't allow to decrease the width of main pidgin window.

While GTalk software shows not the id but the full name the person has attributed to that id, pidgin shows email ids.

Any method to have the gtalk default display in pidgin, or having at least just the first part of the id (without @gmail.com).

Thanks.

Go into your gmail account settings in Pidgin and change your Local
Alias. That will override the account name in the chat windows.

Hi,

I use Google Talk as my chat client and noticed that in Pidgin, the
following username is shown in my chats:

[email protected]/1241234 <http://[email protected]/1241234>

Is there anyway to change that to something shorter?

Thanks!
