[Kopete]User Info and Buddy Icons

Intermediate

Wednesday, July 6th 2005, 9:43pm

Is it possible to set my user profile for AIM through Kopete? I can´t seem to find that option and I have to do it through Gaim, which is a hassle, since I´m switching between two IM programs.

Also, on the same note, can I set my buddy icon? If so, where? I can´t see my buddies´ icons either.

This option was oddly available in older versions of Kopete, but seems to have been removed in more recent versions. ~KDE 3.3 I believe. Emphasis on seems, as I do not know, but I have not received an answer yes or no on the matter.

Buddy Icon

I guess you have to set your 'Buddy Icon' via 'Global Identity':
Settings -> Configure -> Identity -> Enable global identity

I had to do it the same way, but it worked fine this way. Good luck!

Thanks. This seems to solve the buddy icon problem, but the user info still seems to be missing from the AIM/ICQ Protocol. As I mentioned, its odd that the feature is removed in more recent Kopete releases, but I believe, if memory serves, the protocol has been rewritten.

If anyone knows a hack for the AIM User Info problem, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
