adium styles FTW

today I finished hacking a first working version of adium styles. I started this as a separated project so other projects (like AMSN2) can use it, it's located here: http://github.com/marianoguerra/pyadium-themes

any contribution is more than welcome.

to show you the status a nice screenshot (but you can try it for yourself).

I'm alive

so, lot of time since my last post, pretty busy right now, but I will have more time in the next weeks/months.

today I fixed some annoyances on emesene 2 related to webkit errors, the contact list not having ellipsize support and a lot of notifications when using the jabber backend.

but this post isn't to talk about those fixes (despite the fact that they are useful :D)

I created a new project separated from emesene 2 (that will be used by it) to handle the famous and now defacto standard to define conversation themes: adium themes.

this project is separated since it could be useful for other projects like amsn2 or someone who would like to create something like gwibber.

the project was created a moment ago and it doesn't have code, but if you want to help us then it will :D.

the first thing to do is to read the adium documentation on themes:

http://trac.adium.im/wiki/CreatingMessageStyles

and then download some themes and see how they are structured.

the idea is to make a module to load/download/validate adium themes and another to allow using them on webkit.

if you want to help, start reading and join the emesene mailing list so we can define the structure and other stuff.
