Pidgin: 1.5 Guifications Plugin

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 16, 2006 - 9:13pm

Out of frustration, I've created a small package that includes the Guifications plugin for Portable Gaim 1.5 -- it's available here, and the MD5 checksum is: 90666fbd3fc169a236661c13f28f71d7

Simply extract the contents of this 7-Zip archive on top of the existing directories underneath ./gaim. You can grab additional Guifications themes here.

Pidgin: portable gaim crashes after splash screen

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 16, 2006 - 12:34pm

I'm having a problem with portable gaim crashing on my home PC (running Win XP home edition). The splash screen is displayed, I get an hourglass and then nothing happens. I've tried downloading a fresh zip and installing it, and it doesn't seem to work. I had no problem with it until last night. I had regular gaim installed on the same machine as well, and now that won't start, either. I've tried removing GTK and completely reinstalling. Any ideas what's going on?

Pidgin: Buddynames

Submitted by flyx on March 2, 2006 - 3:00am

Hi people,

I just downloaded the 2.0 Version of PG but I cannot see the buddynames in my list? Is there something in the settings or do I have to enter the names on every single buddy?
The buddys are all from ICQ.

Pidgin: Portable Gaim 2.0 problems

Submitted by Matthai on February 24, 2006 - 5:05am

I just downloaded portable Gaim 2.0 multilingual and it has some problems.

I was using portable Gaim 1.5 and I just copied all my old setting into new directory. This works fine.

But the problems are:

- there is no OTR support (or I am blind? - I can't see it among plugins)

- there is no gaim-encryption support. I think there should be because of compatibility. A lot of people is still using it (OTR is still new), and if we want to be compatible with them, it is important to have it)

- there is no default smileys and I am also not able to import them. I go to Tools>Preferences>Smiley Themes (or sth like that - I am using localised version of Gaim), and drag&drop themes there. But they do not appear anywhere.
