It's nice, and I like it. I'd definitely switch except for the fact that you can't skin it (I dislike white >:| )

I might switch...then again I'm very happy with Trillian.

gamepin126 · 08-06-2007, 02:48 PM

There's plugins n **** for it, JUST NO SKINS ME WANT SKINS DAMNIT.

/cry

Looks cool, I'm too lazy to get it though. I think I'll just stick with good old basic AIM.

It's the new GAIM. But yeah, secksy imo.

SC_Modder · 08-06-2007, 06:59 PM

I use pidgin. It's a no-bullsh*t straightforward IM client.

gamepin126 · 08-06-2007, 07:18 PM

Oh ****, I figured out how to change it's skin. You gotta use the GTK Theme Selector in your \program files\common files\gtk\2.0\bin

You can get Gnome skins here: http://art.gnome.org/ and http://themes.freshmeat.net/

Does this support audio and video chat with msn?

Zhuinden · 08-06-2007, 11:18 PM

I think it supports a lot of stuff, but I don't use it because afaik it doesn't support Voice Clips.

Actually, Pidgin is the reason why I hate AIM, it was named GAIM before AOL attacked them for "stealing" the name AIM. And Pidgin now has a fugly purple pidgeon as a symbol.

Otaku · 08-06-2007, 11:38 PM

LOL. I was looking through Wikipedia's entry on Hawaii and Pidgin is the nickname for "Hawaiin Creole English".
