Ichat Plugin

Yeah guys, that would be nice for sure. But well, if we're trying to achieve the iChat look, we need the buddy icons in main buddy list window.

But bubbles are the main goal anyway =)

You just can show buddy icons in main window using Trillian and Danimator´s skin.

Just select "show medium icons" (if skinned) on contact list options... ;)

So we only need iChat speech bubbles

looking at this picture i would guess that whats needed is

1)png support in the text field.

2)support to tie stretching of the png to size of each message... height would be automatic, width would need parameters.(including for smilies).  I think the png bubble would get fairly messy at the bubble left and right edges as the message got obscenely long-maybe stepped levels for the png ie. gets too stretched=replaced with a larger png to start stretching.

3)alternating left margin/right margin text  or more likely, left margin text for your messages and right for all others.

i don't have much of a clue about this stuff but that seems to sum it up.

oh yeah, they probably have more than two colours for the bubbles too. 

They just seem to know how to set up graphics so nicely.!

i am thinking more like 3 pngs for each person, and if you include colors, then...

you have a left png, one end of the bubble, the middle part, that sctretches, and the other end, and just the opposite for the other person talking to you...if that didn't make sense, i don't know what will. (i ilike using commas)

i could try to developed the plugin!! Actually im trying to make it now!

but most likely its a lost hope, im not much of a good programmer!

i can only do dos apps!!

#51924

#52307

I'm in! I have been pushing the trillian developers to put this in... to no avail... anyway SOME ONE MAKE THE PLYGIN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :order:

#52341

is there a plugin thing where u cant change format of message windows?

also how does i chat on mac stretch bubble when typing LONG sentences

#52367

if someone can tell me where the print screen button is on a powerbook i'll take plenty of snapshots of iChat for everyone to study

#52417

theres not printscreen its called Grab and its somewhere in the finder bar, also i want this 2 :) so someone make it :D

also when you type a big message the bubble it just extends vertically

#52419

i found the grab but the option for the screen shot is greyed out how can i get it to work?

#52421

i cant remember how i got it 2 work :( sry

#52425

go to utilities folder and open grab and when u take a screen shot take it of the full screen instead of the individual window and it should work.

#52439

w/o using grab....

1) Cmd+Shift+3: take a screenshot of the entire screen.

2) Cmd+Shift+4: take a screenshot of a slection. Or press spacebar to take a screenshot of a window.

This Trillian iChat plugin is gonna be good news for us. But on the other hand, it can catch Apple Macintosh's attention just like Y'z Dock.

Maybe this is the reason why Trillian developers aren't willing to take the shot, coz they might get shot in return :)

I'm all for it, I can lend whatever help I can on graphics.

#58465

So no one ever made one? :(

#75199

guess not... i was waiting for this one too

#78367

i am not a developper i can't do it myself but if i was, i will work on it night and day...

please do the bubble :rule: or teach me how to make apps ;)

This would be great if it came to fruitation but I highly doubt it will..

Tip for anyone who achieves this: Keep it QUIET, don't go bragging about it all over the net and have Apple sending you a Cease & Desist order.
