Gaim is a GTK+-based multi-protocol instant messaging client. It is
|
|
compatible with AIM (Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger,
|
|
Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr networks.
|
|
|
|
Gaim supports many features of the various networks, such as file
|
|
transfer (coming soon), 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 2 and KDE 3.1'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.
