When I wanna start a new conversation, I just tap the contact rapidly with the tip of my finger until the conversation window shows up. You, know, it's like knocking on someone's door when you're really angry, except you do it with the tip (or even the nail) of your index finger, not your knuckles
Hmmm ... I dunno ... If you can find me a set of loud, short sounds, I can turn them into an alternative sound package, like, maybe "gaim-sounds-loud", or something. Let's see what kinds of sounds (if different) pidgin uses.
I released version 2.0.0-0nix24 with the following additions:
- Made the buddy list "Alias..." context menu item work
- Added the Gaim 1.5 sounds as a new package: gaim-sounds-old
I have also updated the Web site at http://gaim.garage.maemo.org/ with some more information about repositories, and how to use the old sounds (they're not used by default). I have also decided to abandon the idea of a multi-page site. So, I merged the "tips" page with the main page.
i uninstalled 2.0.0-0nix23 and installed 2.0.0-0nix24. i've also installed the gaim-sounds-old. in gaim / tools / preferences / sounds
are these the correct settings?
sound method
method: automatic
sound options
X sounds when conversation has focus
enable sounds: always
volume: loudest
sound events:
X buddy logs in
X buddy logs out
X message received
X message receive begins conversation
X message sent
X person enters chat
X person leaves chat
X you talk in chat
X other talk in chat
X someone says your screen name in chat
when i tried to test some of the events, there are no sound. are my configurations correct??
I am also getting no sounds after upgrading to nix24. I just upgraded all pieces from nix23 and made no setting changes and did not install sounds-old.
I thought it was me as it is late and I need sleep..
CobraKC, I have updated the page at http://gaim.garage.maemo.org/ to include detailed information about how to set up custom sounds from the selection of Gaim 1.5 sounds.
