Modding Gaim For Windows Help

I've searched the A-S boards for a while and can't find any help, so I'd thought I'd just try asking.

For Gaim fo' Windows, Does anyone here know where the little buttons on the bottom of the Buddy List are located? I have ResHacker and looked thru a bunch of the files and havn't found them. Some of the buttons and images are located in a folder, but the rest I can't find. Any help? :blink:

[edit] Sorry for not putting the "[help]" tag in the title, I forgot. [/edit]

Wow, nice lookin mod there!

I am (sort of) a reshacking pro, I looked through all the files as well and couldnt find the icons. They might be in some obscure hidden file, but I doubt it.

Hmmm, I guess Gaim isn't too popular in the A-S boards. :dunno:

I dunno if this is a good idea or not, but I just emailed the programmer, see if he'll tell me. It being open-sorce and all, I don't see a problem with it. :pchawk:

Those images that arn't in the pixmap dir, are stock gtk icons.  You

could change them by rebuilding GTK+.

Hmmm, now I need to learn how to "rebuild GTK+"

I hav'nt used it in a while. I switched to Miranda. You can change EVERYTHING. Give it a look. I also tried to do this a while ago. I came to the conclution that it was probally

in the .exe

Miranda is kinda confusing at first. But I might use it if I can figure it out.

#107156

yeah, it can be confusing at first, but it's extremely configurable. you can always ask here or at the miranda forums.

#107209

well, I gotta miranda working and all, but there's a couple things I can't fiqure out. 1)Why there are no buddy icons

2)Can't see people's away message w/o IMing them

3) There's no "User is typing" indicator.

If those three were solved, I would switch to miranda because Gaim crashes:

1)When I put the mouse over a link

2) Try to modify an account

3) When I close Gaim (yes, it crashes and wants to send an error report by just closing it)

I guess it'll be a while till I'll be happy with an instant messanger.

#107463

yeah i tried miranda im but i couldn't stay because i couldn't see the away msgs and the buddy typing indicator

#107606

there should be a plugin for the away message.

the typing indicator is only available for msn right now. check out the srmm mod or the pop-up plugin.

buddy icons aren't implemented yet. it's "bloat" for some people.
