Summary: wish: indicate contact going online/offline by changing
background colour for some seconds
Product: kopete
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
ReportedBy: sven.burmeister gmx net
Version: 0.12.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
OS: Linux
I have been using Gajim now for some time because of its Jabber
MUC-functionality.
One thing, as minor as it is, I like about it, is that it makes contacts going
online/offline more visible than kopete.
Whereas kopete just blinks, Gajim changes the background of the whole
contact-row going online/offline for some seconds (~4) to a dark green (online)
or dark red (offline).
I think this is a very intuitive signal to the user, although red/green might
not be the best choice in terms of accessibility.
In fact this concept could be expanded to signaling that a message from that
user is waiting. The current mail-icon showing in place of the avatar does not
look very nice because is seems increased to an extent that it becomes blury.
For me it sometimes even results in the avatar not being displayed until kopete
is restarted.
