Gaim Popupwin

Please, note that this plugin is now discontinued and unmantained. I have no more time to develop it and there are better plugins which do the same. I recomend you this one: http://guifications.sourceforge.net.

:: DESCRIPTION

This perl plugin shows a mini window in a corner of the screen when a buddy logs in in any account like MSN Messenger. It shows also an icon with the protocol it uses.

:: FAQ

Can you please tell me how to modify the code of popupwin to modify the size of the box? :)
You can't directly modify the size of the window. It gets the size from the pixmap. But you could load a new pixmap with the size you want. Simply save it anywhere as xpm and change the variable $background in popupwin. It must point the the full path to the file.
Example:
$background="/home/fr3nd/.gaim/plugins/square.xpm";
The font used is too small and ugly. How can i change it?
Open popupwin and change the variable $font with apropiate font string. You can use xfontsel to find the apropiate font string.
How can i activate the antialias?
You can't until the gtk2 port is finished.

:: TODO

Don't show popup windows on connection
Use only one perl file
Port to Gtk2
