transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing
|
|
|
|
|
notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique
|
|
|
|
|
features. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the
|
|
|
|
|
ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program
|
|
|
|
|
when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle;
|
|
|
|
|
and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended
|
|
|
|
|
message notification, iconify on away, and more.

Gaim integrates well with GNOME and KDE's system trays. This allows
|
|
|
|
|
you to work with Gaim without requiring the buddy list window to
|

|
|
|
be up at all times.

Gaim is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent.
